Life Lesson #15,051-Make Everyday Special

Why do we save our good china?  Who are we saving it for?  I mean, the people who mean the most to me would gladly eat on paper plates.  If I am eating on my good china, I probably am not very comfortable with whomever I am eating.  Actually, I have never eaten on my good china.  I have been married for 16 years and have never, ever eaten on it!! What a waste of good china!

Why don't we burn our candles?  They smell so nice and make for great lighting.  They aren't that expensive so why not enjoy them?  Who has to visit for me to actually light my candles?  What am I waiting for?  Isn't today special enough?  It's Wednesday for Pete's sake!!

Let's use those fancy towels and break out the good sheets!!  Who doesn't want to sleep on 1500 thread count sheets?  Why are the large, thick, white towels reserved for guests?  I can afford new ones at TJ Maxx for guests!!  Why not enjoy them myself?  I am going to put those nice sheets on my bed right now!!  The guests are gonna get my ratty old navy blue towels.  So sorry if you are planning a visit to the Bromfield Inn anytime soon but you will be getting the 300 thread count sheets!! Luckily, I don't buy cheap toilet paper so even visitors will still get the Charmin.  I may have to start buying little chocolates for my guests if I make them sleep on the cheap sheets.  Oh and bath salts!! Why save them?? Enjoy them!!!!!!

What about the crystal glasses?  What about the couple pieces of silver that I have?  I got them as wedding gifts.  If I get them out, I will probably have to find some Tarnex because I have never used them before.  They are still in the same box that they came in.  Isn't that just sad?  What is wrong with me?  And my crystal glasses!! I have used them!  I love them!!  I usually use them when I have a crowd and have used up all of my glass glasses! Or maybe even my plastic cups!!

Okay everyone, Let's celebrate today!! It's a great day to be alive!! It's Wednesday!! Isn't that special enough?  I will give you something to celebrate...No more campaign ads!! That is one thing to celebrate!! Even if your choice didn't win the elections, let us all celebrate that and celebrate that it is a new day!!  So if you come to my house tonight, I will be wearing a ball gown, a tiara, silk shoes and eating hot dogs on all of my good china by candlelight!!  Make everyday special!!
