Top 10 frivolous things I want to buy just for me ☺

Wednesday, May 21, 2008

1. A fully trained Police Dog. Either a German Shepard or Bloodhound.
2. A car with GPS Navigation. Lexus and Infiniti are my favorites.
3. A beat up piece of crap truck that I wouldn’t hesitate to take anywhere.
4. 3 or 4 flat panel tvs. One for each spot in the house.
5. A beastly fast IMac with a insanely huge monitor
6. A Jacuzzi tub. (Which would in turn mean a new house or serious renovation)
7. A Sweet Shotgun and a good gun safe. (that would make my armory sort of complete)
8. A HUGE manly BBQ Grill. Stainless Steel.
9. A beach house in Cabedelo, PB Brazil
10. A jet with pilot to fly me to my beach house in Brazil

What would be some of the frivolous things are your list?

Holla on the beach house... and a crack-sniffin' dog, that'd be cool cuz then I could guarantee my kids won't become rebel crack smokers...


ok... so off the top of my head a few frivolous buys:


I'd do some plastic surgery. Yes, I'm not too proud, let the professionals help a lady out! a little snippy snip here, a sucky suction there... a whole new me (plus, I'd do knee extensions... where i'd get about 3 inches taller... does that exist yet?

Then I'd definitely have a cabin in Telluride or somewhere awesome like that.

Diamonds... lots. Is that too cliche?

I'd buy my husband his degree...

Live-in Merry Maids

Mariah Carey and Elton John. Yes, I'd BUY them and have them sit in the corner and sing me lovely songs. But not as a duet, that would just sound ridiculous.

Most of all: I'd love to buy a computer chair that doesn't make my butt go numb after only 10 minutes of sitting... ahhhhh... that'd be the life.

There's a few problems with this post.
1. If there were a jetted tub in our house, you wouldn't have much of a chance to use it. I'd either be in there soaking or in there teaching Simon how to swim. Sorry.
2. Also, you would have to schedule to use the jet well in advance because I'd be using it to fly to Disneyland on a regular basis.

Ah the joys of being married. :)

As for my frivolous buy; I'd buy Disneyland

I'm too practical for this but...if I had all the money I wanted, I'd get my eyes lasiked, I'd replace the backyard fence and hire someone to redo the backyard. I'd hire someone to paint the rest of the house and replace some of the carpet. Wait why not just buy a new house? Oh yeah, and I'd take the family to Disney Land. And if I still had extra money I'd buy a super cool brand new with all the extra's Sienna.

Trips. Yes. Italy, Greece, England, Spain, France. And once determined where the best spot would be (probably France or Italy), a villa there for get-aways and artistic retreats. And there would be closets of gorgeous gowns and lovely events in which to wear them, like concerts and operas and ballets with late suppers with the stars of said events. I might collect art for my villa, the real stuff...
But wait, I'd build a Disneyland on the grounds so my family would be tempted to visit...

I'm changing mine to include visiting Mom's villa.

Disneyland in Italy?!?! It's like my two greatest dreams in one!! Sorry Jacob. Scratch everything on your list; we're using all our extra resources to visit your mom's Italian Disneyland. I guess you can still get the jetted tub.

I definately would go for the drug dog, but a boxer would be my preference. I just love those dogs to death. I currently have one. My wishes would be 1. hire someone to pick up after my dogs in the back yard. I have 3. 2. I agree with the live-in maids, which would mean a big house. 3. Have a fully loader Sequoia. Blue, leather. 4. Have a chef and a pastry chef everyday. 5. Adopt a child. 6. Go visit Casa De Francoli. 7 Actually go to DisneyLand for the first time in my life.
