It seems like I have no problem making clothing purchases or things for the home but recently and good friend and neighbor convinced me that I needed to do something just for me. My choice has been to have my hair done every six weeks this cost around $80.00 each time but does make me feel good. I also have started getting my nails done every two weeks with a pedicure every three weeks. I know there will be some imput as to what a foolish expense this is and I really can't agree with you more. I have found that this makes me feel better about myself so as long as I can work it into the budget I am going to continue. What do you do for yourself?

For me it would be very recently taking an aerobics class and enjoying the gym. I feel like I have donated my body to my kids for the last few years, and now that they aren't using it/destroying it any longer - I want it back. LOL. But with the kids I haven't really felt like I have had much time for *me* either. So since I have been out and doing something totally for me it feels good. It may sound pathetic but it feels like a totally selfish endeavor considering how much I give to my family. Nice to just do something for myself. I haven't swung the time or money since I had kids, so it is nice to have both now to enjoy.

Vacations would be the one thing that I feel strongly about. We travel several times/year. I enjoy going new places, seeing new things and taking a break from my daily routine.
I guess one other thing that comes to mind is visiting the casino. I only recently started doing that since Atlantic City finally passed a smoking ban in April making a visit to the casino enjoyable rather than health-threatening. I've been down 3 times since April and also made one trip to one of the PA racinos (racetrack-casino).
