And, as my hairdresser pointed out last week (re a single mom on a very limited income who nonetheless budgets carefully to include high-quality haircare), we all prioritize our spending in ways that can seem profligate to others yet make perfect sense to us. The glasses I haven't yet picked up cost more than my first four cars (individually, that is!) -- and I may put more miles on them than any of those cars ever achieved!<br />I love the agenda you sketched -- I'm going to get a day like that into my life soon, whatever it takes!

Is the secret in the rest of the ensemble? Maybe I'm just worried because I work with a lot of khaki-wearers, and none of them are right.
