[Today’s run: 1 mile with the dog]
Over the weekend we stopped in at the local mall. The Sears store is closing. It has a big sign on it that says ‘8 days left’, and ‘ 70% off’, etc. So we stopped in to see what remained.
There was still some good stuff in there. Not all of it was a bargain, but some looked pretty good. Our main purchase ended up being some bling from the jewelry counter. My wife said it was a very good deal.
I am almost completely ignorant about jewelry. I can’t tell the difference between diamonds and CZ. Gold looks gold, but so does gold painted junk. I appreciate the shapes, the design, the colors. But I am mystified about the materials.
So I pretty much go by the theory that if my wife likes it than I’m really not buying jewelry, I am buying wife-happy-sauce. And she liked what she saw, so that’s what we did. The excuse for the purchase is our anniversary coming up in May.
Myself, I don’t usually wear a watch. I don’t wear any necklaces or earrings. Don’t have a pocket-watch chain or a gold cigar snipper or money clip. The only jewelry I wear is my wedding ring. I appreciate that it doesn’t turn green, and generally just stays the same all the time. The only time I take it off is if I’m doing some rock climbing or something that makes ring-wearing dangerous.
