The money candle
We did wind up heading to the frozen north yesterday. My grampy and his wife lit a fire, and we all relaxed around it and enjoyed each other's company. It made me want to go home and light my own fireplace. Then we opened gifts, then went to dinner, to this great place in York. De-lish.
One of my gifts was a money candle. It looks like a star covered with aqua glitter. As it burns, it starts to look like a castle. In the "dungeon" of the castle is money. That's right, cold, hard cash. According to the package, it could be anything from $1 to $50. Being broke as you-know-what after Christmas, I came home as fast as I could and lit that fucker up while I watched the Grey's Anatomy special last night. It's a fairly big pillar, about six or so inches high, so it's gonna take awhile. You know what they say about a watched pot. But I want that money. So burn, baby, burn.
I bought some Valentine's Day decorations today. My fireplace and such looked so lonely without all the Christmas paraphernalia. I got some felt heart garland. It's red with pearls. I also bought a heart-shaped basket, which is sitting on my hearth. M thinks the lot of it is stupid. Hell, if it were up to him, he would live in a house with plain, white walls, wiping his ass with Market Basket brand TP, which ain't even a ply. This is how I found him five years ago. Now he turns up his nose at anything but Charmin and tells me constantly I have done a great job decorating. They can be trained!
