Holiday Heap and shopping and getting towed

#1BB and I went out and supported the arts on Friday night and how did we get rewarded?? How, I ask you? By getting our car towed from Mt. Vernon to West Bawlmer. It was an interesting evening, to say the least, but it's all OK. At least a $250 tow charge is not enough to break us. I thought about that alot as I was riding through the dark streets on that side of town that I rarely visit and only know about (really) from watching The Wire through my fingers. The point is: the (stupid) loss of money (completely our fault) was bad, but we could bear it financially. It still stings, but we will recover. There are plenty of people in this city for whom that amount would be impossible to come up with in any kind of timely manner. The other point is: I'm grateful for my lifestyle--it's modest, but I'm fed, clothed, warm and employable. In other words: I'm lucky.

I went to Holiday Heap on Saturday for some craft shopping and one of my favorite jewelry designers was there. Click here to go directly to her shop. She's awesome. Perfect gifts for the holidays!!
