D’ya think I’m sexy?
Compacting and saving for the day — I took all of my odds and ends of gold and silver jewelry — the single earrings, broken chains, stuff from ancient-ex-boyfriends, etc, to the hock shop (aka Fort Knox) and got $20 for my gold and $18 for my silver.

Instead, I took them to my fave consignment store and that lady gladly took both necklaces to resell. I had $10.50 on my account, an I was debating whether to…

According to the bio, I have never married and have no children. Of course, Mr. Husband slept on the couch last…

Lady Godiva, and fruit
I was at Costco Sunday and looked at the fruit trees — apricots, almonds or Chinese pears (pear-apples, yum), but I would have liked an apple, orange or even a kiwi bush. I didn’t buy any of them. I have a lemon tree from my birthday to plant, when it stops raining for a few days, and Mr Husband has his Valentine’s Day lime tree. We’re all set for Arbor Week (Cali celebrates Arbor Week next week, but Arbor Day at the end of April. Go figure.) I saw tomato plants at Long’s today while on my lunch break, for $2.99; it made me feel that spring adrenaline rush that…
