You know what I'm talking about. You meet up with a girlfriend, and you both have good intentions of your plans for the day or evening. The phone conversation might go a little something like this:
Friend: What do you want to do today?
Me: Oh, whatever, I don't really have anything in mind.
Friend: Yeah, me either. Maybe we can just hang out, and see what we feel like doing. I have some clothes to return, maybe we could run to the mall real quick.
Me: Sounds good to me. I'm on my way over!
You and your friend head to the mall with good intentions. She's going to return some items, you're going along for the friend time and conversation.
And then it happens. You see something cute in the window at a store you walk by.
Friend: "Do you want to go in?"
Me: "No, no...I really shouldn't."
Friend: "Because we can, some of those things look really cute..."
Me: "Well, that red skirt over there is really cute. I really like the idea of having a red skirt..."
Friend and Me: "Let's GO!"
30 minutes later, you're leaving the store X amount of money poorer. You have failed at not buying that adorable red skirt, or the $10 pajama pants, or the earrings that are buy one get one half off.
Repeat at least 3x.
