I have really been struggling with this ever since I saw it. There are so many things I want, need, or crave.
* A trip to Oklahoma to visit my Uncle.
* A treadmill for home (I am actually looking for a used one now.)
* Getting the house painted (I am trying to do this now too.)
* Put it toward the huge car repair bill I just charged. While practical, this would also relieve some financial stress.
* Jewelry, especially dark opals. I mean, can a girl ever have enough jewelry?
* A new shoe wardrobe - Shoes are always expensive for me given my size and foot issues. Right now I am craving a pair of fashion boots. I already have the ones to wear in the snow.
* New counter-tops - I just don't "love" the ones I have now.
* The services of a seamstress to alter the clothes that I really love and want to keep.
See???? I just can't decide! Obviously, I need to hit the lottery!!!!!

Sniff!!! We go every year, but this year, Mom & I decided it was just too $$$!!! Oh, I want to go SO badly. Unfortunately, I don't think there's any way we could swing a bus trip up there for the board at this late date.
NEXT YEAR FOR SURE!!!! Ang, have you NEVER been????

I can't believe I'm not going this year. But....we're trying, like everyone else, to cut back. Plus, my Mom turns 65 - those of you who have met her wouldn't believe it - and I'm "planning" to take her to Savannah for a weekend as a surprise. Paula Deen's restaurant, some plantations, etc. Her family is from the south and she just loves all things southern!! So no NYC this year!!
But next year!!! I will DEFINITELY put something together for the board!! The ONLY problem with NYC at Christmas is that it is so crowded on the weekends that you are literally swept along - my brother likened it to salmon swimming upstream. Generally, our trip is Wednesday and Thursday - MUCH less crowded, and no lines for anything. The one time I took my brother on a Sunday, we waited on the street to get into some of the stores, and we had to wait 40 minutes for a carriage ride!!!
We are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO doing this next year!!! There is nothing like NYC at Christmas!!!
