    The same. I have 5 brand new pairs of heels in my closet that I've been too swollen to fit into. I'm looking forward to being able to wear them this fall and I'm having a hard time not buying more shoes in the meantime. It's an addiction.

    You and I would get along really well -- ditto exactly for me.  I tend to describe my vacations by the food I ate than anything else.  And nothing made my heart swell with pride more than when DD fished through my closet, past the junky and colorful Steve Maddens and others to pull out one of the few really good pairs I have, my tan suede Christian LaCroix slingbacks (otherwise known as "princess shoes").

    food, shoes and faccewash

    the shoes are a necessity as I'm walking throughout the city a lot during the day and I have a hard to fit size.

    the facewash really isn't a splurge as it's cheaper than the presecription cream I was prescribed.

    Food, vacations, and household services.  When we go on vacation, we go all out, I want to totally relax and not to worry about anything.  I want to go to a great resort, eat great food, have some nice drinks and really unwind.  At home I'd rather have to spend some extra cash and pay someone extra to clean the house, do the laundry, mow the lawn so I can relax after a loooong day (I worked 26 hrs straight on-call weds, all I wanted to do was come home and go to bed!)

    I buy things for my horse (tack and such) and I love really expensive shampoo.

    2 ply toilet paper! Just kidding...I'm just off maternity leave and money is tight until I get my first paycheck now that we are funding daycare as well! I can't wait until I get caught up! Pedicure and fruity martinis are in order!

    Vacations, monthly massages, eating out, and my hair. These are what I really need to live well, feel good, feel full, and look great.

    Food.  I've been working on my cooking a lot over the last year or so.
    When it's all said and done, what matters most is your relationships with other people; without good friends and family, what's the point?

    Lottery Tickets - mega millions and powerball every week.

    I spend less on them than some people spend on their once-a-week coffee treat at Caribou.  I don't think that I'll actually win - but the hope and possibility keeps me going :)

    ahhhhh.... to be a SAHM someday....

    Food and travel, hands down. We also have a cleaning lady and lawn maintenance, which I am not willing to give up--especially now that we have DD. Oh and massages. DH and I try to go at least once a month.

    Hmm...honestly, nothing.  We're big savers.  I hope to retire young.

    My nails.  I had gel pink and whites when I was engaged and newly married but stopped when we started TTC and had no time when the girls were little.  Last winter I decided I had enough of hating how my nails look and have had them again since last winter.  Every 3 weeks, I take a lunch hour and go get them filled.  I love how they look and they require no work from me.  I don't spend a lot on clothes and shoes although I wish I could spend more sometimes.
