Yesterday Grace form designsponge.blogspot.com posted a picture of this piggybank! I almost fell over in my chair! When I lived in Kennewick, Wa my grandma lived in the town right next to us [Richland] and when I was either 5 or 6 she gave me that exact piggy bank!!! I actually remember riding home in the car, sitting on my mom's lap in the front seat to be precise [oh those were the days that Britney Spears and I could reminisce about!] :) anyways I remember the texture, thickness, I mean EVERYTHING of that little bank... and then It took me probably only 6 months or so to fill it to the top, and then what did I go and do... I ate about 4-5 of my older sisters candy bars that she was selling for school. I was hiding under the bed when she came home with major chocolate breath....anyways she made me pay for them with my own money, but since the bank was soo full and none of the change would come out, we ended up having to break it up. And that was the last that I saw of that bank, I didn't even have it for a full year....... and since then, ive thought about that bank atleast once a year! But now this super cute online boutique Canoe has it, and it is only $6!!!! So that will be an early Christmas present to myself this year! :) Especially since I will be moving out of my apartment in 2 months, now is the time to be saving. Im actually looking forward to moving just because it will force me to get rid of anything I don't need, use, or want anymore. Too much stuff keeps me busy on maintaining that stuff!!! I feel like ive got sooo many things around me that it is only a hindrance to everything I love to be working on. Meaning ive got so much more to clean and take care of, organize etc... I guess the one thing that a person could never have too much of is music and books....am I missing anything? :) Wow this post is becoming much longer than expected.... I also wanted to put out there, about apartment situations...I know it is still far off, but if anyone knows of an inexpensive two bedroom available end of December here in NYC could you pass it onto me? I would make anyone the most delicious cake who led me onto something....perhaps that isn't too good of an incentive..... okay ill throw in some bling as well! :)
