It is also income tax return time and almost prom time. It seems like money is just flying out the window. Alex and I finally settled on a fairly inexpensive dress. The first one was 4x the price. This left money for accessories, which should be spelled excessories. We did manage to keep them simple; earrings, shoes, hair clip. We also got her hair cut, it was growing out rather odd. We also bought a new pair of glasses, plus a spare. She was wearing an old prescription as she broke her other ones. This way she has a spare or a different look if she needs it.
We all needed a few new clothes, including new scrubs for me. Then I had this random urge. I bought a violin. I haven't touched one since the 4th grade when I quit because "it hurt my arm." There are several things in life that I bailed on a wondered "what if." I can't go back to the army or past relationships and play them out now. I can pick up a violin. maybe it will be nothing more than a way to spend some time and maybe it will be something I enjoy.
