Your Recent Purchases

**dragonfly** · 08-31-2006, 06:21 AM

Here's what I bought today:
For some of the pets:
5 cans of Pro Plan dog food(they were on sale)
12 large crickets
1 tub of mealworms
a box of Blue Dog Bakery molasses and peanut butter dog biscuits
a package of beef dog training treats

For the kids back to school supplies:
Watercolors
6 pink pearl erasers

And for myself I bought an electric pencil sharpener, so I don't have to sharpen 60 pencils with a manual sharpener. It was absolutely worth the $15.00.

I bought plane tickets for Alexa and I to go to Vegas

We are going at the end of October to meet my sister for her 30th birthday

.

So I'll have to go shopping soon, maybe pick up a new polo or two at Abercrombie.

I hope you have a great trip, Laura. Scott and I have been to Vegas only once, but that's where we got engaged!!!

It is so fun to visit and we would love to go back sometime.

We had a terrific trip to New York City at the end of July/early August. We were lucky to have enough frequent flyer miles to get our plane trip free and my dear husband has been so loyal to Hampton Inns that we had enough Hilton Honors points to have 4 nights at the Waldorf Astoria, free, as well. So we splurged on the "fun" part of our trip. That included a Broadway play, Wicked, and many other neat things and great meals. Since then, other than the normal bills, we replaced my daughter's ceiling fan, which literally was falling out of her ceiling and have paid up at the vet!

Kay, I meant to say to you that I think you are being very responsible and I am certainly not questioning how you spend your money! I see that the offensive post has been removed, but it is sad that it got to that point.

I like this thread, actually. It is fun to see how the rest of your splurge, or don't splurge. I have a new driver in my house, so things have changed a bit around here!

Amy - At first I thought maybe you got it as a surprise for the families other race fan...Jasmine!

Saw her in her cute little outfit on another thread, what a cutie-pie!

Earlier this summer was my first really really big (and long overdue) purchase in a long time -- an I-Mac computer and the Adobe Creative Suite software. I'm loving it! No more crashes in the middle of a project...no more "running low on disk space" messages, and not one "do not have enough free space to save file". (I do illustrations) It's heavenly!
Since I also work in a clothing store, I buy way way way too much clothing, but the new things are so cute, and I get such good deals...

(most recent- 2 vests and a variety of t's.)
For the rest of this year I will sending most of my "spare" money to my son at Ohio State. Study hard, kid.

Well i'm looking for a Roxy purse on ebay now. I just don't want one that too big or expensive. I was keep it under $25, so next time I get some money i'll just have to pay a bit of my own money.

**ChrisH** · 08-31-2006, 12:53 PM

Arrived today.
A twist and swing stepper.

A lovely little panther ornament (e-bay)

and due to arrive very soon, again off e-bay, three fridge magnets

I'd be interested in hearing it!!

It has to be a good story...

For fun things, I usually buy pet stuff or trips!

Labor day weekend I'm taking Amtrak back to Iowa for my grandpa's 80th birthday bash. Evidently it's going to be big- I know at least my whole family will be there, even all the out-of-state people. This last weekend (Tues/Wed for me) Eric and I rented a cabin in the rockies with the pups. It was relaxing.

Haven't bought much recently. The last things I've bought were related to school and PotC. I got two Jack notebooks, and a Will Turner notebook and folder. I also got a messenger bag from Claire's with a picture of Jack saying 'I love Jack'. I need to get a pic of it. I've been looking on e-bay and hottopic.com for PotC shirts though...

I'm so jealous! I really want to see Wicked, Alexa was able to see it a while ago when she was in NY with her family. It is coming to Phoenix next month, but tickets sold out the same day they went on sale! I guess I'll have to wait until the next time it tours. We saw the Lion King two weeks ago and I loved it, we were also able to see Avenue Q when we were in London.

**Kfamr** · 08-31-2006, 07:04 PM

I'm jealous too! I wanna see Wicked! I saw the local drag queen show version of it, it was awesome.

**slick** · 08-31-2006, 07:22 PM

My last purchase was gas for the car. Our gas prices have gone down and I only had to pay $1.02/litre.

I remember when it was 39.9.

I don't splurge on anything for myself because I'm tucking away every spare penny I have for a trip next year.

I'm going to see Wicked in october for my sisters sixteenth birthday. It looks okay, but we'll have to wait and see. I'll let you know how it is, if you would like to know.
