Simple, and not so Simple Pleasures

Tonight, we dined on a feast!  Homegrown tomatoes, fresh from the garden purple hull peas, just picked cucumbers and onion salad, and fried pork patties.  Yum-YumCountry cooking at its finest, and the garden is a coming on!!!  The dishes are done and it is time to relax. 

Chuck is buried in his Obstetric books.  Me, I'm watching Frasier and staring at my new ring.  I have discovered that I might have a real problem.  Seriously.  When I feel good, I shop.  And I BUY when I find something I like and it is a bargain.  It all started when I received in an e-mail from Kohls for 15% off anything.  I tried to ignored it.  I had errands to run, and before I left the house, oh so innocently I printed it out and tucked it in my purse.  As I ventured out, my closest stop just happened to be Kohls, so what the hell, and besides, the car hadn't cool off yet.  First I checked out the drapery rods, too expensive, next to perusue housewares, nothing.  Then on to lingerie, nothing special, onward to look for something for Jonas, dismal selection.   Next, up and down the rows of my clothes, found a top, even tried it on, but it turned out to do very little for me, so back it went.  Last but not least, I made my  way to the jewelry counters.  I didn't need to browse, I knew what I was looking for.  Sterling silver setting and cubic zirconium rings.  Three of them caught my eye, and when I put her on I couldn't take her off.  The ring is stunning.  $300.00 with 60% off and with my coupon, for an additional 15% off.  Final total - $102.00.  She was MINE. 
And she is Beautiful!
