If I Had the Money

If I had some money and didn't have to worry about paying off debt (hey, it's Spring Break and I am stuck at home with a lot of needy kids...let me escape to fantasy land), here is a list of what I would spend it on:

1. If it happened right now, I'd hop on a plane and fly the kids and me to Arizona (I'd say Hawaii but no amount of money could save my sanity on an 8 hour flight).

2. I'd have a membership to Entree Kitchen. Love their food and convenience. I have a gift card and can't wait until April to place an order.

3. I'd sign up for Wheaton Sports Center so I could do Zumba classes while Gia played and have a place for the kids to swim.

4. I'd take a cooking class.

5. I watch a lot of TV shows that have famous hairstylists, makeup artists and stylists. I'd love to see what someone that charges $800 for a haircut and color could do with my 1980's mop. I think a stylist would demand that I wear more color since everything in my closet is black, grey or brown. Makeup...pretty sure they'd do more than the eyeliner and blush that I wear. Edited to add that this has nothing to do with who cuts my hair. I am just shocked that someone would actually pay $800 for a haircut and color and wonder what you get for that kind of money.

6. Plastic surgery...I do not judge and I am not opposed. Okay, that isn't entirely true. I do judge when they have lips that look like a life preserver and boobs that look like floaties.

7. Whatever I need to do so that I don't have to deal with the soft enamel on my teeth that genetics have given me, I'd do. I HATE going to the dentist because I know that no matter how good about dental hygiene I am, I'll still have issues.

8. I'd hire someone to go grocery shopping and put them away once I was home.

9. T.S., I'm stealing this from you: I'd hire someone to come in and switch over the clothes from season to season.

10. I'd make weekly massages mandatory.

11. I'd have a cleaning lady once a week.

12. I'd make a once a year girl's weekend a tradition and we'd go somewhere new every year.

13. I'd call Billy the Exterminator.

14. I'd sign Gia up for classes in other park districts and not care about nonresidents having to pay so much more.

15. I'd go back to school...wait...I can't afford that but I did sign up for a blogging class that starts next week! I am so nervous because it is the first step to really putting myself out there and having someone critique my writing but someone wise once said, Change is scary but not all change is bad (okay, I said that). If you always stay in the same place, you'll never go anywhere (I'm sure I read that on a pin on Pinterest) so I am taking steps to see where I can go. I am so excited! Wish me luck!
