If I had a billion dollars...to spend on sunglasses.



Have you ever wondered what you'd buy if money didn't matter... I do, all the time actually. I'm sure it drives my husband crazy because my DREAM car would be a Ferrari, Lamborghini, or something cute and outrageous like that. Mike's dream car is a Limited Toyota Avalon...no joke. See the difference. So a funny story to tell you... My good friend Sarah and I were on a girls day down in Orlando wandering the mall at Millenia, and I came across the most AMAZING sunglasses... see them here. Well, thinking to myself I am going to die if these sunglasses don't come home with me, I go into the store where they were beautifully displayed in the window...{that should have been my first clue.} So as I go in thinking to myself "these will just have to be a splurge...I know they are at least $300, But well, I've saved my "allowance" (my non accountable money in the budget) and I'm just going to do it! So I try them on... and it was magic, I'll be honest. Angles sang and I was more in love. So still not knowing how much they were and not wanting to sound stupid and ask the lady "how much are they" I made up some excuse and she opened the drawer that contained the others that were the same style, just different colors... and some of them were like I guessed, $200-$300... And then I saw the pair I wanted with the price tag on it... $1,200. Yes, you read that right, that's one thousand two hundred dollars. For a pair of sunglasses. beautiful sunglasses, but not $1,200 freaking dollars beautiful. For that price they better come with someone to polish them and put them on and off of me.  Well, I made up another dumb excuse and said they made my face look funny and kindly handed them back and left the store. You know part of me, if I had a billion dollars, would buy them, but there's an even bigger part that says no matter how much money I had and even if I wouldn't even notice it was gone, that's outrageous and the money could be put to much better use. So, here's to dreaming BIG... and living in reality.
