| Thursday Thirteen Things To Treat Self To |
 Since becoming a Mother I have found that I no longer go out and buy anything for myself anymore. I have decided that this needs to change a little bit - because I deserve it dammit! Here is a list of 13 items that aren't very expensive that I will make an effort to go out and buy just for myself before this year is through:
1. A set of earrings, a nice set and not those cheapie hypo-allergenic turn green kinds.
2. Some new make-up. Nothing much but you're supposed to throw away make-up after a certain time. Not that there is an expiration date on it or anything, but I need some of the new basics.
3. A pretty nightgown. Wearing the husbands t-shirts and oversized t-shirts to bed can be sexy some of the time. However it gets old after awhile. I need something pretty.
4. Bras! My boobies have shrunk since having a baby. I went from a full D to a weird Jellyfish shaped C that literally swim in the sling-shots they are currently resting in. In fact, I'm still wearing some of my nursing bras from almost 4 years ago!!!
5. Nice pair of sneakers (walking/running shoes). Since I've started to exercise more these flat $2.99 Ked knock-offs aren't helping my feet any. It's time for a new pair of Nikes!
6. Socks. Kinda go with the sneakers not to mention my socks are all faded, worn and have lint balls all over them.
7. New Pillow. A nice pillow this time, maybe even down. These poofy Granny ones that Wally World sells for $5 go flat in not time flat. Stiff necks are no fun and Gon has stolen the only feather pillow I do have left.
8. Some shelving for all of my books. They are starting to stack up on my dresser.
9. One of those big fluffy super-sized bath towels!
10. A few dozen nice hangers. I have those wire hangers and they are terrible!! Why Lord? Why do I have to be such a cheap skate?
11. New eyeglasses made out of glass and/or contacts. My specs are so scratched up despite the amount of care I take to treat them well. I also fall asleep watching TV and soon pop the screw on the side where I lay over. Eyeglasses in the hot summer months fog up everytime you walk into a cold air conditioned building. I gotta try contacts. (although lasic surgery would be optimal.)
12. Batteries! (Don't ask)
13. Last but not least a new pocketbook. I've been lugging this one around for years and it is too small for all the stuff I have to carry these days.
Have a great Thursday Everyone! |

My mother recently bought all that stuff. Except for the...batteries...
-
Yes, I must know what the batteries are for. >:)
Shoe are good...so are shelves. I want some shelves.
My TT is up - 13 things not to do while driving.
-
#4 cracked me UP! I have a hard time shopping for myself...I'm trying to learn also.
Happy TT - mine is up!
-
-
#4 had me rolling! LOL!!! So funny. I agree with you about the nightgowns!
-
You're right! You do deserve it...
You GO!
Happy Thursday!
-
Out of everything, I think you should get the batteries first. LOL!
My list is very similar to yours.
Happy TT!
-
I need new make-up like you wouldn't believe. Especially mascara...you know how they say you are suppose to replace it like every 3 months? Yeah...well...umm.
I've always wanted one of those towels, too. A towel that will fit and make me NOT feel fat. I saw them pretty cheap in the LTD catalog...but go buy a nice expensive one for yourself!
Batteries? How can I not ask? I have a feeling you aren't telling, though. :)
Happy Thursday!
-
I hear you! I wear the same old things over and over and I'm relunctant to buy anything for myself (other than books of course!).
-
I'm glad you wrote a list about treating yourself to things! If Mama's not happy, ain't nobody happy!
-
You are absolutely right.Sometimes each woman should spoil herself !
Happy TT !
-
Hehe - yay for getting shinies for yourself :)
-
Margaret - have fun shopping! And in the meantime, take a look at this post - it's about you - I hope you don't mind being quoted. Hugs. Ela
-
YOU GO! You deserve it... seriously!
-
Go for it, Margie... you deserve it. There's something about motherhood that makes it hard to think about ourselves, and it gets to be a habit if you aren't careful. Trust me... I know. After three kids I still have trouble buying things for myself that are "luxuries." Make-up, I use 'til it runs out. I KNOW it's supposed to be replaced every so often, but... I just can't do it! lol
-
That was me... NOT anonymous! Now get shopping girl!
-
You go, gal!
Bras are a big one. Ever so important for keeping things...neat and organized. ;-)
Makeup, too. Nothing like a new tube of lipstick. Have fun!
Mine's up--13 Fictional Men I'd Love to Run Off With.
-
take me with you when you go shopping for these things? :)
-
All I can say is.. Amen, Sista!
Let's go shopping together, shall we?
Have a great Thursday!
-
sorry about that...posted twice. premature clicking, i guess.
great list! and a new pillow? can make a world of difference!
-
-
How much you want to bet you will only end up getting the batteries.
-
I'm with you on the bras and shelving! Great list. Oh, I'm off to buy some makeup today!
-
I recently splurged on decent sports bras and aerobics shoes, and felt at once decadent and pampered. You're so right--as moms, we're used to taking care of everyone else, it's important to take care of ourselves, too.
-
Good for you! It's amazing how we forget ourselves once we have that little bundle of joy, eh?
-
My goodness, these all sound like necessities to me - you better get busy and get these all soon! Have fun shopping, you totally deserve it! :)
-
OMG! I so forgot I need lip liner before work tomorrow! I'm so glad you said make up!!!!!!!
So much for visiting the rest of TT! I'm off to belks! Later dude!
-
Pepperoni and Italian sausage pizza from Vinnie Van GoGo's ought to be on there somewhere.
-
Sorry, I missed this post when I was here yesterday. Great list. I need 1-7 and batteries. :-)
-
wifey just surprised me with a package of new socks... they're so comfy!! happy belated TT to you!
-
Go for the treats! You deserve 'em :)
Happy weekend!
