When I was 30, nothing needed nipped or tucked. Now, they need to be replaced.
I used to be lil miss practical. When the husband would ask what I wanted - birthday, Christmas, etc - I would say I needed a sweeper, I needed a dishwasher. Hey, we finally had a house with a place to put one and the old one died.
Now, I figure the kids are grown and it's not so much what I need. What about all the things I went without to raise them? It would be nice to have a few nice things before I die. So for my birthday this year he asks what I want and I said a nice handbag - I had to point out which one.
So he and the kids chip in and I got my first ever designer handbag. Finally, a purse that did not come from a store that ends in *Mart* LOL.
I'm not a real materialistic girl, but it's nice to have one that isn't plastic for a change.
