What can 955 bucks buy you?

Well, I can think of a lot of things. For starters, our entire trip to Dallas cost less than that, that is almost enough for 2 truck payments, a month's worth of groceries, a new bathtub and the ceramic tile for the bathroom, new countertops, a new couch....this list could go on and on, wanna know what it buys in this instance...

Don't worry, we get to make interest free payments. Sierra decided that even though we had a saxaphone she could have chosen to play, she wanted to play the clarinet instead. AAAHHHH!!! The saxaphone was free, what is wrong with playing sax? Her friends all chose the clarinet, that is what is wrong with the sax. Well, needless to say, we decided to buy a clarinet on ebay instead. We are in a rent-to-own contract, so when we get another one, this one can go back to the store, and there are no penalties. I had no idea how much these things cost. That is what I get for telling her "Honey, I would rather buy you a new clarinet than have you settle for the saxaphone. You won't stick with it if you aren't playing the instrument you want" How could I be so dumb?!

I remember my parents making a big deal about buying a violin when I decided to take lessons in school. And I couldn't figure out why. Perceptions change when you get older. I hope she enjoys it and sticks with it.
