So it's not yet late but...

It's not even 10:00pm where I am but DD has been fighting sleep for a while now and I feel like it's late. I think I let her sleep too well through the day! She sleeps amazingly in our bed so I cleared off the pillows and blankets, laid her in the middle. She took two, three hour naps when DH got home so we actually got to eat dinner together and catch up on DVRed shows. I'm now rocking DD while my white noise app blares 'vacuum cleaner' so she'll sleep. It's working so far.
As a random question, what is one item you consider a splurge that you spoil yourself with whenever you can?
Mine is shoes. Because my body is not ready for new clothes, I just bought a pair of Guess boots. I figure the fact that they're heels will make me look thinner. Though, a gym membership would probably work better.

I'm a recovering shoe horse. It was bad. DH gently and lovingly put his foot down and now shoe purchases go through him. We actually have money in the bank and that's a nice feeling.
So my splurge is silly to many and gross to some, but I love Taco Bell more than I love some of my family members. While pregnant, I could hardly eat fast food, and as I craved fruit, fruit, and more fruit, fast food was so not what I wanted. But now I'm back to Taco Bell once a week. I justify it to those who question me by reminding them of the fact that I'm 20lbs below pre-pregnancy weight.
That was mine for a while. Now I just give myself a French manicure or pedicure so need no more than 2 colors for that. I am in the market for a good fall toe color if you have any recommendations!
I buy maybe 3 or 4 pair per year. Two of those pair are flip flops. DH hasn't had to slow me down yet!
And I'm a huge fan of Taco Bell! DH and I went on a 'date' the day before DD was born to the Taco Bell they built 10 minutes from our house. Before, the closest was 30 minutes away. We live 45 minutes from Mexico and have some of the best authentic Mexican food and I still prefer Taco Bell... I credit them and their meat fillers for putting me into labor 2 days before I was going to be induced. In fact, that was my last full meal before I had her.
OMG I LOVEEEEEE TACO BELL!!!

I love sweet tea. I get that as a treat. Or Nothing Bundt Cakes. Love some red velvet. Can your tell I'm a southern girl?
For a major splurge, I get jeans. I am self employed, so that is what I wear everyday.

Coach purses! I never buy full price and limit myself to only buy 1 year. I now have 4, one for each season which DH doesn't get why you need one for each season. Men ...
Ooh...I forgot about that how could I! I have been a fan for years! I'm in need of a new one. Luckily, DH knows how much I love Coach and buys me 50 gift certificates when he can't think of a good gift idea. I just save 'em up so when I'm ready it's not such a blow to the budget.
Cole Haan purses DH used to get them 1/2 off so I have too many.
Shoes!! I love shoes :
Yoga and yoga gear!! Lululemon is my weakness.
Jeans too but I have cut back a lot.
My indulgences are:
Manicure/pedicures.
Going to a bakery cafe or coffee shop and having something unhealthy while I read and people watch.
