Hope not much its 12:18 am \u00a0when I write this.<\/p>\n<p>I realized in the last few days that patience isn&#8217;t one of my talents.<\/p>\n<p>My friend Carolyn and I got <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.charmedaroma.com\" target=\"_blank\">Charmed Aroma<\/a><\/strong> candles for a treat for our birthdays.<\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t know what they are let me tell you. You\u00a0purchase a\u00a0candle on line\u00a0and hidden inside is a ring in tin foil. The ring is worth anywhere from $5 I believe and up to a few thousand. You receive a little code and you excitingly put it in and wait for\u00a0the value of your buried treasure. Kind of\u00a0\u00a0like gambling in the form of candles.<\/p>\n<p>They were delivered to my house and I thought ok she gets first pick because otherwise its not fair. I tell you though I didn&#8217;t see Carolyn for a good week and I really wanted to get out my spoon and dig those suckers\u00a0out!<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s when I realized that I&#8217;m not patient at all.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe another clue is that I can&#8217;t be bothered to scratch scratchy tickets. I just scratch the code and put it under the machine. Really I&#8217;m going to sit there rubbing off little letters. Ain&#8217;t happening?<\/p>\n<p>Both our rings\u00a0are pretty. Carolyn&#8217;s was worth $20 and mine was $50. Really if I saw them in the store I wouldn&#8217;t buy them and I&#8217;m not that fond of candles but the whole &#8220;rig a ma roll&#8221; or should I say &#8220;ring a ma roll&#8221; was pretty exciting.<\/p>\n<p>OK I did dig mine out a bit early with tweezers but it was still fun. I&#8217;ll put a picture on my Psychic Cottage Instagram.<\/p>\n<p>Quote for you:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The wise man does not lay up his own\u00a0treasures.
