Everything is so overpriced. I have a few haunts where I splurge, but I would feel as though someone was making a fool out of me if I bought $90 socks! I am a big list maker too. It keeps me sane and calm.kimhttp://chronicennui.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1569646987208104674.post-21505893500952060432008-10-14T22:07:00.000-06:002008-10-14T22:07:00.000-06:00Gorgeous photos! Thank you so much for your comment on my little blog :) I have mixed feelings about NY. Seems like a cool place, but also kind of scary in a few different ways... <BR/><BR/>I have three note/sketchbooks going right now, so I know what you mean about listing and such.Brittany Noelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12102284763530010289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1569646987208104674.post-28740633208757284142008-10-14T17:44:00.000-06:002008-10-14T17:44:00.000-06:00I happened across your blog a while back and have enjoyed popping in from time to time.

I think we're really come to a time of being conscious of our spending habits and pulling in our horn, and perhaps reviving the spirit of your ancestors to "make do and mend"...Things may be a struggle for some time yet *SIGH* Fun to read your random thing and learn more about you! :o) I'm with you on the pudding and tapioca--GAG!! I can't abide lumpy, squashy, or soggy things...eeekkk...I'm a list-maker too. I have notebooks of all sorts for writing things down in. Knitted socks I'm still working on ;o) ((HUGS))Tracyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09179096002434748927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1569646987208104674.post-76812269817996796082008-10-06T04:09:00.000-06:002008-10-06T04:09:00.000-06:00paying that much for socks is somehow obscene...<BR/>On the other hand, can i join you in this not-making-decissions day?<BR/>:)Estihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08121475346034828147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1569646987208104674.post-37457116568551546462008-10-05T21:20:00.000-06:002008-10-05T21:20:00.000-06:00I agree with you on the socks. $90 is way too much for something you can make yourself.
