Oath.

I, April Walker, promise myself (April Walker) to not spend money on books until June 1, 2012. 
(Exception Clause: Garage Sale purchases, where the book being purchased costs less than $1).

This self promise is being made for the following reasons:
1. I have more books to read than I will ever get through.
2. I am poor.
3. I always justify book purchases as my one "me thing" that I let myself buy without even thinking.  Books have always been "my thing," so I don't feel bad about treating myself to them.  However, my new thing is real life/wedding plans.   It might seem like, "Oh, it's just a $5 book at Half Price books..." But, if I do that every month until June, that's $50.  Which could buy some really kick-ass shoes.

Why June 1, 2012?  We haven't set a date for the wedding, yet.  But the other day, Nathan said something like, "I get done with grad school at the end of May.  Do you think I am going to wait any longer than that to marry you?"  :P
