DON'T DO IT!!

[d's girl]

You know that saying, "I have champagne taste on a beer budget?"

There are things I've seen or tried that have ruined me for going back to the 'norm.'

Like looking at granite countertops & then trying to settle on laminate.

Or, my ex, trying Parmigiano Reggiano... 

& then being unable to go back to regular ole' parmesan.

How about you? What have you seen or tried above your means that you wished you hadn't?

Two of my favorite "champagne" likes...

A lawn mower when I have Wendy.

Wendy's so pretty, I could just eat her w/a spoon!

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

[Aggie]

Wendy's Chili with a spoon.

[d's girl]

high thread count sheets!

[Snagg]

REAL ethnic food, freshly prepared by somebody who knows the stuff and loves it - You'll never eat at Taco Bell, Panda Express, Thai To Go or any of the other premade, flash-frozen, microwaved slophouses again.
