Okay, okay. $2000

What can I do with $2000?

• Pay my assessments for one whole year.
• Get 33 fancy pants mani/pedis at the place on Michigan Ave.
• Pay my cell phone bill for two years.
• Buy 40 pairs of jeans.
• Keep myself caffienated for 888 days.
• Go to Chipotle 195 times for a steak burrito bowl, guac, and a soda.
• Take 50 more Hebrew lessons.
• Drink 400 Moodywaters.
• Go on my Mexico trip three more times.
• Pay my mortgage for 1.5 months.
• Send 51 payments to Sallie Mae for my college loan.
• Buy 1183 Mead notebooks.

That's an awful lot of wonderful options, isn't it? Past things on my list have included

• linens (got 'em)
• closet (got it)
• iPod (check)
• Hebrew lessons (check)

So I think I'll put this $2000 towards my 30th birthday. It is a trip to Israel, specifically to be in Jerusalem on my 30th and then to bop around. Tickets are running about $1100 right now. Totally doable and leaves me $900 to play with. I think I will treat myself to the lovliest hotel in all of J-lem. The David Citadel is $300 a night. (Holy shit!) So I'll stay there for three nights.

I'll be back tomorrow to welcome more prosperity and spend $3000 in Israel!
