Luxury

I was thinking about other things that could be bought with my End of Student Loan Celebratory Shoes money now that I actually have a pair of Louboutin's (though they are pretty casual and some fancier pumps or sandals might be in order) and discovered that I may have a bit of a problem. Not an addiction per se but simply a slightly skewed reality as to what is an appropriate amount to spend on certain items.

This got me to thinking about my favourite things to do or buy for less than $10 that make me feel pampered and special.

1. a new pair of socks
2. the Sunday New York Times and the time to read it.
3. a really well made sandwich
4. a long walk with someoneyou can have a great conversation with
5. a nap in the afternoon
6. Vogue
7. watching a classic movie like Breakfast at Tiffany's or Roman Holiday or Casablanca
8. a trip to a museum (depending on the museum this may be more than $10 but will make you feel special and pampered and, as an added bonus for the extra expense, smart)
9. giving yourself a manicure and pedicure
10. orange soda (not orange and cream soda, but straight up Orange Soda - I dare you to drink some and not smile)

Passover

Please go visit this. It's the funniest shoe story I've ever seen.

Happy Passover and/or Easter.

under pressure

while singing the Queen and David Bowie song in your head...

Just back from a Charity Event for Invest in Kids. When it 's a trivia challenge, there is A LOT of pressure to repeat as champions. All I can is that fact that last year we won, and that the Victory Cup had a place in the wedding of me and the BC has now entered Invest in Kids lore. Really, when you participate in anything, your ultimate goal can only be to be remembered, and trust me, we will.

Also decided that wearing the same skirt four times in a row was not very classy... may not have been the best luck to wear my new dress, but trust me, it's very pretty.
