Today, I found myself in a predicament. I was teasing myself with a Longines HydroQuest featuring this absolutely stunning green sunburst dial. Seriously, it was like a siren call for my wallet! I was there, trying on the watch, feeling like a kid in a candy store. I could almost hear it whispering, “Buy me! I’m a masterpiece!” I tried to maintain my composure, but as I caught my reflection in that shimmering dial, all I could think was, “If I wear you, I might just become one with the sea—definitely not a bad trade-off.” And that green! It would make Kermit envious, and would be so easy to wear that perfect shade that says, “I’m classy but also down for some guacamole.” But alas, my bank account responded with a solid “Nope!” So there I was, giving myself the most extravagant pep talk: “You don’t need it, not just yet.” I even if it was 22% discounted. That’s just means when I am ready I now have a goal to bargain to. Let’s be real, when you’re trying to convince yourself that a watch is a “necessity” while secretly knowing it’s the most extravagant impulse buy ever, that’s just prime self-teasing. The watch may not have won today, but I’ll be back, Hydro Quest—watch out!

Its a cold and miserable day here so why not Chanel Blue Skies!! WOTD: Grand Seiko - Light Blue sparkle Dial Stay Warm and Dry Everyone!!

No, I didn't go home with it. I kind of wish I did... They were still running a 20% off black Friday sale, but even at 20% off, I'd still be looking at $360, which is still not cheaper than the average retail price. What makes the difference in prices? Is it the customer service, band sizing, warranties, all of the above? How nervous should I be about buying online?

Happy Blue Monday! And what could be bluer than waiting for the Great Pumpkin to arrive on Halloween night and missing out on all the candy?!?

So after almost chopping my little finger off with the lawn mower on Saturday, today was part 1 of a 2 part surgery. You can see that my little finger was severed at the bone in the x-rays. Then there is the shatter fracture at the base of the little finger. My mower didn’t turn off when I switched it off and I don’t have a fuel cutoff. So I was using a screw driver to push the last little way at the stopper, the screw drive slipped and my little finger went under the guard. Thankfully I was wearing my work gloves and that the blade was going slowly, if not there is a great possibility I would have lost the finger. Any way, Bob was along for the entire day in Registra review after fasting from 2300 Sat, being at the hospital from 0830 today and bot getting into Surgery until 1430. About 24 hours from accident to Syrgery.
