Ramblings
Last night was a comedy show we've had tickets for since the comedian was booked.. and some friends went with us. The evening was fun, entertaining and ended with the news on the answering machine that the stress test I had the other day was good. I apparently can go back to excersizing again. <insert an appropriate amount of enthusiasm here for me cause I sure don't have it!>
My husband is working today, my son moving from his apartment to a rented house. It sucks when you can supposedly afford to pay rent but don't qualify to buy a house. For that matter, why can't they build houses that are more like starter houses. You know, a couple bedrooms, a bathroom.. maybe two.. just a small house? Oh, I know, I know.. people were buying these big huge monsters so builders make more money off of a lot than they do if they make a small house. In the meantime, you have an entire generation of people that can no longer afford to purchase a house because all the homes being built are out of most people's reasonable price range.
Oh, sure, variable interest rates, roll over this and that and you can afford a house. Until the interest rates go up. Then, people were selling left and right.
I went to Tiffany's once. It's in one of my favorite movies.. Breakfast at Tiffany's. It was wonderful! Of course, we were there for a bike, motorcycle ride and dressed accordingly so people kept suggesting we go down stairs were we might better find something affordable. They were right but darnnit.. I just wanted to look! And.. dream.
The second and last time we were there my husband had saved money to let me buy something from Tiffany's. I went through the entire store so I could find the absolute cheapest, or near cheapest thing. Even cheap it would still be good cause it was from.. Tiffany's. The more I looked the more I was ready to settle for something, like oh, I don't know, a paper plate! I knew our credit cards and checkbooks said I should get the hell out of there while the getting was good!
I did find a silver necklace. It's a chain looking thing with a heart shaped charm that I could take to any jeweler or Wal-Mart to be engraved. It was clunky looking and not my favorite thing but it was from..yeah, you got it..Tiffany's. Only there is one major, major problem. I am apparently allergic to silver!!
So, there it sits on the shelf, in the blue Tiffany colored velvet Tiffany's bag, in the same colored box with a satin ribbon around it and in the Tiffany's colored bag. Just.. sitting there being my own personal Tiffany's gift. Not long ago I tried to wrap it around my wrist much like a bracelet. It didn't look good but eh.. apparently I can't wear silver on my wrists either.
Anyway, hope you all have a good weekend.. for now I'm going to quit rambling and jumping subjects.
