Excuse me, do you have the time?
ok ok, so most of u know by now that I'm a self confessed shopaholic, and being a self confessed shopaholic means that I will admit to buying everything and anything that I love and just have to have......which unfortunately for my bank balance is almost a daily accurance, on the other hand my credit card companies just love me hehehehehe.......so on any given day I will buy perfume, cosmetics, clothes,jewelery,hk/kawaii,home wares, and I have a particular weakness for handbags.....and lately watches, u see ten years ago I looooved watches and owned at least 10 (not expensive ones, just fashion/fun ones) a watch to me is like a necklace or a bracelet u need to change it to suit the outfit or color u r wearing that day.....of course u have the standby watches that go with almost everything and can be worn day to day, but it's just nice to have the option to mix it up a bit......so where was I, oh yeah so like ten years ago I had quite a fun collection.....but to make a long story short I moved o Australia, after a year in Europe.....and before leaving New Zealand for good I pretty much sold everything I owned (which was very cleansing when I think back on it) includng all of my watches.....bar one of course.....so I move to Australia in sept 1999, with just a few suitcases of clothes and trinkets from my travels and my new life began......and over the coming years I pretty much stick to just one watch.....until this past christmas......u see I discovered a page on amazon that has me totally addicted now......it was the ladies watch page at over 60% off all the time......OMG!!!! u signal a sale like this to a shopaholic and u may as well put the bull in the china shop cause u just know both of us will go nuts......and I did hehehehe......that christmas my mother, my best friend and I all all received a Lucien Piccard watch.....see the pick below for my choice....it was US$1295 down to US$179.....:):)
btw I also received the cutest hk watch from Gavin and Angela for Christmas....so now that's two watches to my growing collection:):):)
And last night I added another one:):):)u see I wasn't planning on buying anything I was just bored and thought I hadn't checked out the sale page in awhile and wanted to see what was new......and well I kinda found this:):):)
Totaling one carat in weight, 208 white diamonds are artfully arranged in both the bezel and sides of the case of this stunning timepiece.

Additional features of this luxury timepiece include a stainless steel bracelet band and a water resistance rating to 330 feet.
I couldn't resist:):):) it's US$1495 down to US$249.99......how can one resist a saving of that much!!!!!! 83% that doesn't come around everyday well on this site maybe it does hehehehehe.......but hey I'm turning the big 30 in just over a month and wanted something special to commemorate the occassion.....and now I have it:):)well actually I just ordered it so technically I don't have it but by this time next week I will have it:):):):):) and there u go.....and I have a feeling this is just the beginning of my new watch collection so far I have 3....and with this new one it'll be 4......so it's not that bad....yet....hehehehe.....and now that I'm older as u can see I'm definitely playing into my deisgner taste.....ahh it's good to be an adult with a credit card hehehehe......and btw I pay a huge amount off of my card every month:):):):) I have to hehehehe:):):):).....well I just wanted to share....does anyone have a particular weakness u want to admit too.....or something u love to collect:):):):)....thanks for reading.....take care....love Jenn:):):)

High School Reunion
A few years ago on VH1 or MTV or some channel like that they showed a couple of short series called High School Reunion, the premise was to get like 15 ppl from a graduating year from the early-mid 90‘s and put them in a huge house in Hawaii and watch the week long reunion unfold, u had the prom queen/jocks/cheerleaders, the fat/ugly girls or guys, the bully/bullied, the now gay guys/girls, the high school sweethearts, the shy/weird/smart guys/girls, the sluts/prudes well u get the picture, pretty much a representation from all the clicks, anyways these shows were riveting, their reunion was almost like watching ones own as it made u think about what happened to the various ppl and clicks in your own class (luckily most of us have reunion sites that help us in finding info)....but the show was so interesting to see how much or how little some of them had changed, and also some had unfinished business they needed to attend to like unrequited love/crushes, as well as big show downs between the clicks on various past issues on the drama,drama drama that went down way back when or even confronting how they had been treated by a particular group or person, so definitely an interesting show to see, btw at the end of the week/reunion they had another prom, a chance to put things right, and relive I guess some of their most happier memories. It was also a fitting end to the show.....so anyways a few months ago I found out that my old high school was having a reunion this March not so much for my class but for all classes from the last 50 yrs...so although I thought about it, and seeing my old school haunts would be fun and possibly meeting with old friends and crushes would be even more fun...I’ve decided against it for various reasons plus it doesn’t help that I live in a whole other country....but it was fun to think about for awhile...and I just wanted to know if anyone out there had ever gone back to their reunion and what it was like?
