I looked at a pack of 2 black dry erase markers for 2.17, pack of color for 2.99, and color with hangers and erasers attatched for 3.99.
I was looking at those dry erase options thinking 'I am rich, I can afford to pay the extra to get color, just because I want to'. I also thought I am smart, I am not paying extra for hangers, I store them in a bag in the threering binder I use.
The truth is, I can do the same work with black as with color. I don't even need the marker at all, I could use something cheaper, scratch paper, or something. I could keep using the faded one I have.
But I could afford to buy the color dry erase markers, and that little choice makes me, rich.
And now for the quickies:
*also bought a rice steamer for my birthday, mom said go buy one, and I did. Felt great to be able to just buy it (cost a bit more than the markers...)
*husband found some silicone bakeware on sale, bought a LOT.....and said 'I can't help it, I get excited when things are on sale'....I didn't say anything, I could hear his acnowledgement of how silly it was in his voice, and anyway I think I can give them as gifts.
*more stuff was sold! more stuff out of the house, though also more postage...though supposedly at some point I will get some back from that.
I am rich (plus I got quickies)

Yeah, I heard that silicone is toxic if ingested, and they can be stripped off of pans by metal spatulas for example. I don't know how big an issue that is, but I would be careful about that.
