Thing 2 is getting braces today… in addition to sitting in the waiting room of the orthodontist’s office today for 2.5 hours, I’ll get to write a check for $1,066 and then get to make monthly payments for the next 24 months…
So I found it fitting today to list the top 10 things I’d rather spend my money on if I didn’t have a daughter who needed braces…
1. a new iMac – top of the line, biggest and best you can buy
2. a cruise for the whole family (with airfare included because none of the kids have ever flown and they all want to!)
3. a truck for the hubs
4. a Samsung Galaxy Note II… because I’m coveting one and the only reason I won’t go for it is because I finally have all my mac items syncing and we’ve become a completely apple family
5. a diamond ring for me… since we chose not to go into debt for one when we got engaged
6. tuition for me to go back to school
7. a new stereo system and speakers in my car… so I can really jam out
8. a new DVD player and surround sound in the living room
9. underwriting a women’s retreat like the gIRL gathering
10. paving the driveway
11. trip to Disney for the family
12. a bigger chicken coop
13. a bedroom makeover – complete with furniture and decorations (although this one would be hard since I would have to give up my antique furniture…)
… how about you? Have a list of 13? Link up here. and leave a comment for me!… I’ll return the comment!
Until next time…





















I have a long list of things I’d like, were money no object. At top right now would be new glasses, new walking shoes, new computer (mine is going on 6 yrs and the HD is not so good), a combo DVD/VCR, a new TV, and a new couch. My T13 post
