What an indulgent idea, buying flowers for yourself just because it is raining, springtime or it is simply a Tuesday. The little bouquets that are available at the supermarket (or the farmer market) are so inexpensive and very good quality.

Or even better, a small yet sophisticated apartment in the center of Paris. But alas, Nope! I am living in US Army quarters. Just a plain little house which some could easily liken to a bunker. We are six people and one dog in approximately 1200 square feet….you might need to read that again!!!! TWELVE HUNDRED…
