I was the one who told everyone that the prices were unsustainable. However, I do remind my husband often how lucky he is to have a woman like me because I do know many women who are idiots and want the perfect, luxury-laden life although they can't afford it. Hell, I even turned down a bigger wedding ring for a more modest $1,000 dollar eternity band that I always get compliments on. I hate those pretentious rocks that silly women want. <BR/>I'm the financial tightwad in my family.<BR/><BR/>MassBubbleGirlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-59375566246494010022007-12-03T16:27:00.000+00:002007-12-03T16:27:00.000+00:00Fatso Hubby needs to grow a set of balls.
