Want vs. Need

Sometimes I see something and my mind goes blank, save for the phrase 'hummina hummina hummina'. Deep in my gut I WANT. I covet.

But I don't need.

Case in point, these adorable little wine glasses.

Inspired drinking

Do I need wine glasses? No. I have perfectly good wine glasses. But do I prefer these stemless floral wine glasses to the ones I have? Oh yes indeedy. What's a person to do?

Starting now, as a general rule, I'd like to not spend money on things I don't need. If I see these at a charity shop for a dime I'll totally get them, but in general I'd like to see less boxes for me in my mailroom (except for care packages, naturally). There are more important things to save money for and spend money on, like a house or a vacation.

However if I carelessly break all of my wine glasses and therefore need some new ones (stems do make for perilous drinking), well that's a whole different story.
