Free Jewelry Giveaways

Every year at Christmas I buy myself a piece of jewelry. Well, I usually do this a few weeks before Christmas but I don’t allow myself to look at it until the 26th. This somehow helps keep me sane through the holidays. I know that I have a reward waiting for me at the end.

For whatever reason, I forgot this year. I just couldn’t find anything that I had to have. At least I couldn’t find anything that I had to have that I could actually afford. Granted one of my goals is to own so much jewelry that I have to increase my home insurance. Although it’s a broken tradition I think it shows that I enjoyed the holidays this year & that I don’t need more material possessions to be happy. Although, sparkly things always make life seem better. Saving money just seemed more important this year. Now I know why everyone is so concerned about consumer confidence dropping.

I tuned into Wife Swap last night a few minutes late. I watch the show to see how other people live their lives. Sometimes piraes will trade moms with accountants. The show is all about finding balance & following your dreams. The show usually has me looking for a small business for sale or thinking that anything is possible.

Last night, I saw this beautiful, elderly, southern woman dressed in a puffy 80′s wedding dress. Apparently, she throws tea parties. They are very elaborate. The mom that swapped lives with her was a weight lifting coach. Her rule was that the husband had to plan a tea party so he could see all of the effort his wife put into it. I guess that planning elaborate tea parties is a lot of work, but I don’t know exactly why she was doing it. I guess everyone wants an excuse to dress up & feel important.
