Two purchases, little sense

This week I bought two things of which I was very excited about. The first was tickets to Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat that a local High School was putting on. $24 for four tickets. I try to take my kids to one show a year at least and with friends we knew in it, and rave reviews, this seemed promising. (Chris was on a scout camp-out so it would be my date night with my kids.) The second was a new iron. $36. Laugh if you must, but my current iron had the tip broken off and had transfer paper glue stuck to the plate. It doesn't heat up like it used to and is generally beat up. It was long overdue so I bought a nice new one 50% off that I would not have otherwise afforded.
The show was FABULOUS! The music by Andrew Lloyd Webber was amazing and every kid hit each note beautifully. It gave me chills and I almost got up and danced during the 'Go, go ,go Joseph' number. I didn't want my friend Kristy to think I was nuts so I didn't. I drooled at the costumes and will secretly plan to sew a coat of many colors to wear when no one is around. After the show, I asked Jack, my oldest and often my sounding board, what he thought. "Ehh. The clapping was too loud."
But this morning as he ironed his Sunday shirt with our hot new iron, he went on about how wonderful it was, how easy and smooth, and how the steam billowed around the iron as he worked.
Yea Jack it was a cool purchase- but you're off by $12
