It's the Economy, Stupid

Prompted by an article in the Boston Globe, and by Gorgeous Things' blog post on the same topic, I'm thinking today about the five things I can't live without, even as the economy swirls down the toilet.

  1. My Friday morning Chocolate Chip Muffie from Panera Bread.
  2. My subscriptions to Threads, Vogue Pattern Magazine, and Bead & Button Magazine.
  3. My MegaMillions lottery ticket every Tuesday and Friday. Hope springs eternal.
  4. Occasional treats—small toys, candy, goodies—for les babes. There's nothing like the smile on the face of your grandbabes when you bring them an unexpected treat.
  5. A slice of Starbux pumpkin bread on the way to rehearsal on Tuesday night.


That's not so bad. I'd let my hair go from blonde to gray before I'd give up these items. What about you? What can't you live without?
