It was really hard to find a parking space on Filmore Street when I took Holly to Johnny Rockets on Sunday. It dawned on me that I haven't seen that many people hanging out waiting to be seated for brunch and doing a spot of shopping for a long time. Things seem to be picking up again after a very long, dreary year for retailers.
The other day I went to Bloomingdales and again, the place was buzzing with customers. It's been such a rare sight for such a long time, I had to comment on it.
- Oh yes, said a make up demonstrator. And you know the best thing: they are spending money.
I am happy to see that things are picking up again. It's been a depressing state of economic affairs for such a long time. But I really do hope that we have all learned something from the crisis and think twice, even three times, before we spend those hard earned $$'s: how much are we spending and on what. And most importantly: can we afford it in the first place?

It hit us all hard. I've been through it and my husband as well. But we still can pay off our house. We actually pay off the loan! So in two years time we pay no more. God what a relief. I hope we all have learnd that we can't spend more than we earn.
