1/25 QOTD: Your splurge....

These days people are pinching pennies and living frugally, but we want to know: What's the last thing you splurged on?

A new MP3 player and speakers, so I can listen to all kinds of music while I work, and I have a better, smaller one for working out.

Friday night I ordered a "Track3" handheld device for tracking food, exercise, and blood sugars.  At about $86 it isn't too huge a splurge but I consider it a splurge because I certainly could continue with my paper tracking system or I could take the time to use the free on-line systems (like Fitday) at night.  Instead, I spent the money and I'll have this nifty little IT gadget with me and I can punch it all in during the day (including having it calculate the nutritional data for my homemade recipes!) and I can connect to my home PC at night if I want to print a report and so on.  I sure hope it works as well as it says it does.  I'll let you all know.  T

Ooooo Treading that sounds cool. Let me know if it's worth the $$.
I just bought myself a jewelery armoire. Now that I am starting to accessorize I need somewhere to put my jewels

I asked for and got a great armoire for Christmas from my DH.  He bought it at JC Penney.  It has drawers all the way to the floor, and I filled the entire thing!  But that's probably partly because I still have a lot of jewelry that I had as a teenager, and I have all of my MIL's jewelry as well as some pieces that my Mom gave me.  I put my scarves and wraps in the bottom two drawers.  What I really like about it is that the side doors have several hooks for hanging necklaces.  Most of the ones I saw had only 3 or 4 hooks.  This one has 8 (or is it 10?) hooks in each door.  It's really, really nice.  I think it came in cherry and walnut finish.  Mine's the walnut finish. 

Definately let us know.  I think I need to invest in something like that also.

treading-  I started using my fitday program again.  I use a little notebook to jot down what I eat when I am away from home, then put it into the computer as soon as I get home.  It's a pain in the butt, but it's working for me so far.


I haven't splurged on anything lately.  I just found out that my job is being cut for next year, so I am trying to be very careful with every penny for the next five months while I am still working!

i'm sorry to hear about your job! what sad news! did this come as a surprise to you?

for me it has to be skiing. no question about it...... but it's all i think about when the winter hits, and now that i have lost weight. i REALLY am addicted, it's like i just want to ski every single day i have off. and day dream about calling in sick alot.......lol... need more money to buy tickets!

Pea, you should listen or go online to the local radio stations....I got two Loon tickets for $73.   Can't wait to go.

Oh M, that just stinks.  Hang in there.
