Hello Bloomingdale's...

So yesterday, I was early for work and I took a quick detour through the home decor department in the Westfield Bloomingdale's and the New York Housewife in me nearly died. The most beautiful china flatware and stunning crystal champagne flutes.  Colorful vases were lit from beneath, beckoning me to look at one of the price tags. It was an incredible, amber vase depicting the Bacchantes of Ancient Greece.

5,940 dollars. For a vase. My dreams of a 5th Ave, Pent House apartment went flying out the door.  I would never pay that much for a piece of glass that serves no purpose. Beautiful yes, but unnecessarily extravagant if you ask me.

Although it would make an excellent addition to glass collection. Kidding, obviously.


I continued through the department, still in shock over the price of the vase and I got to thinking. I could drop out of school right now and move to New York. I could find myself a nice, rich man who will take good care of me and let me open a tab at Bloomingdale's and Saks. I could live in Manhattan, and be Home-Maker for a fine New York Lawyer.

Again, Kidding.

I could never settle for that lifestyle.  Don't get me wrong I love to be pampered once in a while, but I would go crazy without my independence. I need to know that I worked hard to deserve the amber Bacchantes Vase, and once I have the money to afford it, I know that there will be something else that I would rather spend my money on.  Like a trip to Greece, maybe?

Anyways... I don't think I will be buying anything in the Bloomingdale's Home Decor department for atleast a few more years.
