spiderling introduced me to a fun game/self help exercise today:

Pretend you have a thousand dollars on the first day, and figure out what you would spend it on. The second day, you have two thousand. Every day you add another thousand dollars and see what happens. It gives me something nice to write about, so my first day I'm sharing with you :)

I'm buying spiderling  a kindle. Because that would make me happy and because she cheered me up so much. So there's $359 down. Which leaves me $641 if my quick head math is correct. Hmm...well, I'd buy Mike and myself dinner at Red Lobster. We'd eat crab until we popped open. Woo ha ha ha! Then we'd get dessert and coffee at Cafe Lola. Let's call all of that about $100. $541 left. I'd buy all the traditional oshiroi and other makeup  for my Tayuu costume. I think I priced that for around $200. With the remaining $341 I'd get my yard immaculately groomed and maybe plant some annuals that would bloom right away. I'd also buy Mike the silicon (silicone?) muffin pan he wants for popovers. Yee Haw!!!
