Fancy or not?

Walking into my aunt Francey’s home was like walking into the world of the rich and famous. The phrase walking on eggshells comes to mind when even thinking of entering my aunt’s house

I have a sister much like your aunt. Going to her house is like going to a museum. Mine is like yours. I love my sister dearly, too and having all that money is nice but my life as long as I can fix the washer without having to be late on the rent, I've money enough.

Yeah, we can't afford to just throw money away so if we can fix it or get help from someone who is good at fixing stuff we are happy. Paying the morgage comes before anything else.

I agree with you - I would rather have your lifestyle than your aunt's. At least you are actually living in your house.

Yeah, I may have liked looking at some of what she had but it just made me feel out of place so often. I am happy sitting here in slippers and putting my feet up.

I am very uncomfortable around anyone whose home is too nice - I feel like if they value their possessions that much, nothing I do can be right.

That was how I felt a lot. I just was sure that what I did was not good enough. The worst part is my aunt might disagree with me on this. Basically we would have to agree to disagree.

I liked the comparisons you drew in this entry. I feel like that when I go into a home that is much like your aunt's, too.

It took several days to get the discriptions the way I liked them. Thanks, my place is by far preferible.

Very interesting. People like her are becoming more and more rare these days, I think.

Yeah, I think you might be right. I have a cousin who has a lot of nice things too but she wants people to feel good about being at her home. So she makes sure it is nice but lived in as well. Now that I like.
