I'm down with this. I have no sense of accountability so what the hell.
1. MAKEUPMAKEUPMAKEUP - While right now, I don't have a big collection like most do, it's growing rapidly. As in, 4 or 5 things bought a WEEK. Depending on what I get, thats an easy $100 that could be on something else. Food perhaps? lol
2. Frozen coffees, smoothies and all that. - I'm not even sure WHY I want them, they're just freaking yummy. whatever, lol.
3. Designer handbags - Unfortunately, most of my designer purchases are REAL. You can imagine the price tag, I pay.
I'm sorry, but I had to add more. I have problems, lol.
4. HELLO KITTY ANYTHING - I absolutely looooove Hello Kitty. I've gone so far as to have her tattoo'd on me, my room is basically HK, my boyfriend dreads the day we move in together simply because a pink and black room is not his bag.
5. Strangely, enough, Cheese - I've actually been deemed a cheese connoisseur by the Orlando Culinary Academy (a subsidiary of The Cordon Bleu), thats how much I love cheese. I seriously love cheese. It's just...weird. lol

1. Eating out - almost everyday! I would've saved a lot of money had I not went to fast food restaurants ever since we moved here. Also, i wouldn't gain extra 15 lbs!!
Reason: No food at my house, and I am too lazy to cook.
2. Bargain shopping - I buy things even if I don't need just as long as they're on sale.
Reason: It will not be on sale tomorrow! haha.
3. Pay-to-play videogames. -I play Warhammer/WOW and pay $15/month. I could be saving that money to buy something else!
Reason: I love beating guys' butts and love playing with my SO.

Well, I don't know if I can come up with 3...but I'll try...
1. Large iced french vanilla light and sweet from DD EVERY weekday (or at least every day I go to work). My Reason: Um. It's Dunkin Donuts coffee. Do I need another reason..? I need my caffeine fix, and it's cheaper than Starbucks. Truth:Ummm...I think the truth is that it's Dunkin Donuts coffee...I need my caffeine, and it's cheaper than Starbucks.
2. Buy lunch at work or skip it alltogether. My reason:I don't have time in the mornings to pack a lunch, and by the time the baby's in bed at night, I'm lucky if I have enough time to wash his bottles and get some laundry done before I pass out. Truth:Well...the previous statement is true...and I honestly would rather not sacrifice an extra 15 minutes of sleep during the week...
3. Dance...it's pretty expensive. My reason:It's good for me, helps me stay in shape (even if my "shape" right now is round...), and it's a lot of fun. Truth:It's the one selfish thing I get to do all week...unless I go home and see my mom in Jersey, it's the only 45 minutes (not at work, that doesn't count!) that I get to myself...where I don't have to think about the baby at all. Sometimes, you just have to be a little selfish to keep your sanity.

OMG...I freaking LOOOOOOVE cheese. When I used to have $$ to spend, I'd go buy cheese all the time...it would stock my fridge..and everyone would look at me funny when they'd go in to get a drink and it was half filled with cheese...Mmmmmm.
I'm also lactose intolerant.

LOL WUT? Then how were you able to eat it? Did you get sick? Did the cheese overdose make you lactose intolerant? I'm genuinely curious!
Hi, my name is Amanda. And I love cheese.

^Earrings, Earrings, Earrings and more Earrings! All sorts of jewelry actually but yeah.. mostly earrings
^$5.00 coffee. Every morning I pay 5 bucks for a coffee at this one place when I could get it for $2.00 at this other place. The $5.00 is so GOOD though!

I totally understand the private school thing. The funny thing is that we moved where we live for the great schools but found out my daughter is dyslexic in first grade. We tried working with the school and teachers. But that led to her being humiliated and treated as if she was stupid even though her IQ is in the gifted range so we pulled her at 4th grade. Her high school was $26,000 a year (I saw where their ‘09-’10 year is almost $34,000) so I guess we got a bargain. She graduated in ‘07, so now we have $44,000 a year college. So much for a great retirement. Truth is I feel that I didn’t get a great education and it is super important for me that my daughter does. I don’t work outside the home and have a great husband but I never want her to feel trapped or depend on a man because she doesn’t have the education for a good career to support herself. I know this is my own self-esteem issue. I was physically abused by my first husband so I’m sure this plays into it all.
I LOVE books. I love to read them, collect them, and I want them to be perfect so I hate it if something is out of print and I have to buy it used. I also hate when my mailman wrinkles my magazines. You would think I was a neat freak but I’m a total clutter nut. I absolutely hate to cook or clean.
I spend on my hair. I want a good cut, color, and highlights. I’m almost 47 and my hair and make-up makes me feel good, 'nough said.
And shoes, shoes, shoes. I have a gazillion pair, the funkier the better. I love different heel shapes. My engineer super practical hubby does not get why I need about 20 pair of black shoes. Trying to explain the different styles, heel height, closed toe, peep toe and so on to a technical mind is useless.
I love to shop online especially to places we don't have here like Nordies, Bloomies, NM, Saks and on and on.

This is a joke in my family. My daughter has so many it is unreasonable. But the thing is I'm the one to blame. She hates to shop and I buy her cute stuff. But she will have her undies in different dressers or hampers or whatever so I never thought she had so many. When we were getting her things ready to leave for college her freshmen year I realized just how freakin many she had. So I counted and she had 158 pr of undies. I was like WTF? but then it was ahh yeah I did that. And it's not like she had some old ratty ones, we toss them regularly, they were all perfectly nice and some with tags still on them. Needless to say I have stopped buying her undies for now. But my sister loves to tease me about this.
