Indulgences...

JustJo · 10-30-2012, 06:28 PM

Vacations.....which, to me, are an absolute must.

I don't spend money on clothes or shoes or spa trips...I can get my hair cut at Super Cuts....I don't like budgeting at the grocery store (although I can if I must)....but if I go a full year without so much as a tiny vacation, I get stressed and exhausted.

And I'm not talking "staycation" here....I'm talking chaise lounges by a pool or a beach, hotel rooms, eating out, and umbrella drinks.

Perfume. I live on a farm but I love really nice expensive perfume. The dogs like it too. I can tell by the way they lean into me.

Gourmet food and wine I can cook at home and all the fancy gadgets for my kitchen

Oh, absolutely! Yes, I *DO* need that high-end stand mixer that I've probably used only an average of twice a year since I bought it. Yes, I *DO* need that double-oven convection five-burner stove with all the bells and whistles on it (especially since it was over half-off retail for a high-end brand and way less than what I was planning to spend for a far lower-featured stove, as a result of a warehouse error at Lowes! Yes, I *DO* need all of those pans, and all of those mixing bowls, and all of those knives, and all of those everythings, because it's not just a matter of getting the right one for the job, it also lets me get the right one for my MOOD.

(haven't found a way to justify the $100+ stainless steel mandolin that I've been coveting, though - why does that cheap plastic one that I bought 15 years ago still have to work so well?!?)

I spend my money on cameras and photography equipment. Maybe its time I start buying her flowers instead. (lol)

Totally forgot to add...

Sushi. Place we go to is pretty expensive but they have this all you can eat thing that is just divine. We try to go at least once a month, whether we can afford it or not. Lol.

I hardly ever do but...
My must have here and there through the year are tickets for plays- and tickets to this storytelling circle they do here in the winter, I love the storytelling nights.

BUT I've been saving up for a big indulgence and I think it's getting ordered next week, my rowing machine I've been coveting for years.

Yep!! And we're past due. So get home for a couple days.

My indulgence is nail polish. Yes, odd but I have so many colors of nail polish it takes up one shelf of my fridge. Visitors think i'm strange.

Also, anything smell good. Candles, sprays, oils. As long as my house smells nice the world could fall down around me and i'd be fine. Weird how scents calm me down.
