before it's made, our money's all been spent

No matter that I haven't actually, ehrm, done my 2009 taxes yet. Or that I might not actually get a refund this year, due to damnable circumstances involving a year-end chunk of freelance income.

No, in my mind, once I finally finish my taxes, I will end up with a refund that will immediately be applied to the purchase of a Clare Vivier bag and pouch. Or maybe several pouches.

I am trying desperately to find some way to frame this is fiscally responsible behavior on my part.
