Am I crazy?!

In the past 24 hours, I bought a new camera with an awesome lens, a GPS navigation system, and a bluetooth headset. That's a lot of money!

In my defense, Brendon and I have been planning to purchase these things all summer and specifically budgeted for them, but it still feels weird to actually have made the purchases.

We bought the camera so that Mom could have my old one and learn to use the manual settings. We found it on sale at Ritzcamera.com with no tax or shipping and a $50 coupon for accessories which we will be using to buy memory cards. The no tax part really saved us a ton of money!

The GPS I will need when I start with the Department of Children Services in January. I will be driving to lots and lots of unfamiliar places on a regular basis and I am terrified of getting lost so I really feel this was money well spent. I got the Garmin Nuvi 350 which I believe is the same one that Judy and Tink have. We originally bought the Nuvi 260 and really loved it, but then I found a better price on the higher end model so we took it back for a refund and bought the Nuvi 350 for $50 less. It has MP3 capability and a longer battery life and the user interface appears to work very similarly so I'm sure I'll just love it. After using one for a day, I can't imagine ever not having it again! I'm pathetic, lol.

The bluetooth headset we found on eBay for only $20 and hubby has been wanting one ever since one of the puppies thought his old one was a toy and chewed the earpiece off... He will be so happy when it gets here!

I'm feeling a little guilty for spending so much money. I know these are purchases we'll get a lot of use out of and that we found the best possible brands and prices because we really did our research, but I can't get rid of that guilty feeling. I guess that comes from being so frugal and money conscious... Why do I have to stress over these things so much?!
