Prewritten 2- Keeping in Check

(the 2nd and Final Pre-Prepared Post)

I was smart. For 2016 I had 2 Resolutions:

1- Finish what I start

2- Keep Focused when it comes to Breyer buying
(Breyerfest being the exception because duh.)

 ( And of course, read more, ride more, blah blah blah. )

I actually have kept moderately focused when it comes to Breyers. I made lists of OF run-of-the-mill and rarer models that I could allow myself to buy. And I've stuck to it. I bought Valegro, Cortez, Rhapsody, and the donkey. 4 of the (9?)  I put on my run-of-the-mill list.

The problem? I put no limitations on Customs and Peter Stones. That has been my downfall.

Not that I'm doing terribly, it's just that I went over board, buying 10 customs (nine being Stablemates, 4 shared with Mom) and 2 Peter Stones. It's early in the year, which means I better cut back on the spendy, right? nod, yeah, I know.

The 2 Peter Stones are lovely, one being a Previously Owned DAH Perlino Palouse with flick tale and the other being a Limited Saddlebred Chips. Sigh, are they lovely.

The non Stablemate custom is a Bouncer, not a fancy $300 this or that. 4 of the nine Stablemate customs are being shared with Mom, and the other 5 Stablemates weren't elaborately expensive at all. I just need to lean back and take a break, I think, not because I've bought too much but because I need limitations.

That is all for now. I'm sure I sound extremely spoiled, but things will balance out for me later in the year, I can bet. This is just the 'Splurging' phase of the year. There always is one. It will be gone before I know it and go back to normal. Normal being stopping at the toy store once a month to preview the selection. Normal. Nothing wrong with that.
