That realization and admission, I do realize, is the first step to my becoming whole. Since I am not yet whole, however, I am currently trying to talk my DH into purchasing six custom dining chairs to the tune of $6k . Yes, we'll pay cash, but OB-VI-OUS-LY, our Roth IRA would reap a better return than those beautiful, beautiful chairs that I so desparately need, er, want.

Well, at least almost everything was on sale (I did buy two inexpensive holiday gifts at full price). It was a little spooky to be at a mall on a Wednesday morning, pretty empty, there were huge sales, and totally solicitious sales people...

So this is another video sharing social site. Do you guys think at one point we all will be tired of too many social sites? Cheers, A Dawn Journal www.adawnjournal.com Sounds like a good idea.
