Yeah, so, I’m all 32 now. My birthday was celebrated with lobster and cake, always a good thing, and I got a check from my parents with express instructions to "not use it on bills" but to treat myself to something. Two years ago, even a year ago, that would be easy, really. But today? I got out of work early, went to several stores, and came home with a baby swing, a baby pool, and seriously contemplated a new baby stroller. Nothing for me. I mean, I did just get the new phone, and the flickr account, so there’s THAT, but still. I can’t believe I don’t know how to shop for ME anymore. I’m not a clotheshorse, or a Shoe Person, and I’ve never had, nor had interest in, manicures or pedicures or massages, all those typical ‘pampered mom’ treats. I am going to spend 20 bucks on an expansion card for my phone, and I’d considered a Flip, but my phone’s camera quality is about the same, I think (see ingrid’s new blog for samples, including her saying what a monster says) so the expansion card will cover that need.
Anyone want to live vicariously? If you had 50, 100, 200 bucks… what would YOU treat yourself to?
getting my hair pampered. I love the feeling of someone massaging my head and futzing with my hair. That and some comfy shoes that look a bit more professional than my brown sneakers! But yeah…I always end up getting something for the kids. I am much more fulfilled seeing them enjoy a new book or box of crayons than I am with my shoes. (Although a head massage might give that a run for it’s money…I’m getting all droopy just thinking about it!)
Books. Or maybe gas + a hotel night or two for a random mini road trip.
Happy Birthday!
I am obsessed with my flip (though my phone doesn’t have a video component…and i was missing video when i traded up to my d80).
I splurge on music/movies. iTunes is my nemesis.
