Between a rock and a hard place....

...Is actually not that bad of a place to be.  We just recently were able to obliterate our debt after several years of carefulness.  That was the rock.  The hard place is the road ahead where we buy a house and again are the bank's bitch.  Right not the middle is actually pretty sweet.  Its a soft squishy place that is carefree and comfortable.  We get paid.  We pay rent and all that then keep the change.  

You would think it would spark a big spree of spending and shopping and lusting for material things that were out of our (easy) reach before.  Its actually seemed to do the opposite.  I have forgotten how to be decadent.  I've gone way too practical.  I threw caution to the wind and bought TWO bunches of tulips at Costco last week. Whoa.  Big spender.
