okay not as insane as i thought at first
My sister-in-law asked what she could get mom for Christmas. Brother bought her a canister set for around $100, and a scarf from India; nephew got her a mouse in Germany. So, I told her that mom is cold all the time and asked for sweaters. I got her one from Penneys for around $30 and dad got her one for around $40, both on sale.
So, s-i-l suggested a cardigan and I agreed, and she ordered one from Ann Taylor. It's lovely, navy and soft, and the price tag read $218.
TWO HUNDRED AND EIGHTEEN FREAKING DOLLARS FOR A SWEATER!
I recently bought an equally soft black and taupe sweater from our local hippie store that cost me around $24. I bought both of my parents four presents each and I think all eight cost around $218!!
Okay, I checked and it was half off, but that's still $109 for a sweater. I can't think of any one item of clothing I've spent that much money on outside of items purchased at Harrods (and my $300 Ferragamo shoes I bought in London back when the dollar sucked.) Hell, today I wore a sweater I got at a garage sale.
I wish I had more money than God.
lolol
Okay, I'm majorly procrastinating here on writing...
