New Strategy

Let's face it--we're all very busy people. Thinking about how to spend $9,000 was giving me a headache. I mean come on, I bought a parrot! It's hard to beat that for creativity!
So I'm setting myself up on a new plan. Sunday - Saturday I will spend in increments. Sunday will always be $1,000 as I begin the week anew, Saturday will always be my day of $7,000 decadence.
Feel free to copy me or not--I just want to see how it feels for a few weeks. :)
Today, I'm buying two different clocks. The owl is definitely going in my living room. The asterik probably in the sunroom. I really wish I had a bigger house to play with, but I haven't the patience to play, as Ashqi brought up, to the point of actually buying a house! Maybe I'll throw some bucks down the road toward 1 month's rent and a security deposit on a two-bedroom apartment for the time being...
Anyway, these bangles (set of six) have been on my list for awhile. Hopefully they'll be off backorder soon.
The remaining $470 is going to the National Zoo for Tiger, Panda, and etc. conservation! (future populations of both tigers and pandas seems like a pretty good gift for myself and everyone else, honestly)
