2,000

I want an outfit for my reading tonight that'll make me feel foxy, smart, hip and fun.

Skirt first for $210. Then, this cute t-shirt for $28. Vintage school marm meets rawker chick. Yes.

I'd like to go to Nookie's for their mixed greens-apples-gorgonzola-toasted pecan-balsamic salad for an early dinner, so I'll devote $15 for my salad and a cup of tea and tip.

Now, I'm buying ten bamboo blinds to cover every window in my house. I like having natural materials around me, and I think a houseful of these will really look nice. While I'm decorating, I think this end table is nice for $125, replacing the one I currently have, which will go to The Ark resale shop.

I think Restoration Hardware makes really nice towels. So, how about four bathsheets and four handtowels for $250? Yes, please. I'd like this great shower curtain in white, too, for $79. And, also, for $233, a satin nickel shower curtain rod, to raise it up and to make it look more chic.

Then, last night, I saw a lovely play, and it was my first time to visit The Victory Gardens Theater, so I'd like to donate $200 to them to use for future productions.

With the $540 leftover, I want to bring a Feng Shui expert in and have him/her give my place a once-over, then I want a pre-reading massage. Good. Yes.
