What is your splurge?

I know the economy stinks and some of you have jobs and some do not.

What is your splurge, when you are able?

Mine is a dolled-up coffee and a sale item at one of my favorite clothing stores.

Half Price Books. Love that place. My kids know to get me gift cards for any occasion, and I buy the coupon calendar every year. I also dearly love the clearance section. With the coupons and the gift cards, I can come home with a bag of books that would have been $250 new for about one tenth of that.

Hey, Don, do you you have HPB anywhere near you? I know you'd go nuts there.

Half Price Books is my favorite. Old books have some special magic to them. I love Border's, too.

Movie night is my thing to do. Usually, the movie is an old favorite (The Shawshank Redemption, a fav. animated, Tombstone, Unforgiven, Stand By Me, The Green Mile) or a new movie I've been wanting to see.

I order out, either pizza/wings or chinese. Then I spend the night munching and watching. My cats end up falling asleep on the easy chair while the movie is going on, so if its cold out I'm plenty warm.

Haven't done that in a long time. Might do it tonight.
