 | Watch me |
I’ve always complained about how I’m not made for this world and how they stop making things that I really appreciate like the certs mints, ice cream, etc. Last week I went shopping for a wallet because my current one is falling apart. My wallet is just about perfect, and I would say that here are the things that make it great:
- bifold
- a bill compartment divider (I like to have $20 and $10s on one side and $5 and $1s on the other)
- Driver’s license is clearly visible upon opening
- picture holder can be removed/discarded
- over all efficient use of space resulting in a thin wallet
This is what I have now. Something that already exists. You’d think I’d be able to find something at least equal, right? Wrong. I spent a good hour total looking at wallets and couldn’t find one that I liked. I even bought one, returned it, and bought another. Anyone who knows me knows that I believe returning items to be a cardinal sin in consumerism. I ended up settling for one that has an additional flap for the drivers license, which takes up more space, but can still operate as a bifold. Just because I feel like mentioning it, I used to have a wallet that had a little tab that you could feed a key into and flipping it out exposed the teeth so you could use it. I LOVE that. I love functionality. Makes my wallet like a swiss army knife.
ANYWAY, the real bit of sunshine was when I was at Walmart, looking at batteries for Kallie’s remote car unlocker thing-a-ma-bob. We’re in the watch section, and I just happen to glance over at a watch that meets my first few criterion on watches:
- Rectangular face
- No gold
- Classy and Artsy design
- digital display as well
- date, with days and months
- back lighting button
The watch I have now, and have had for about 5 years now does not have a digital display, back lighting, or months/days. I searched high and low for a watch that met my standards, but found none, yet here one is for $18 at Walmart. It’s a little large, and I’ll need to get the band adjusted before I can wear it, but we might have a winner here. That makes me happy.
