Tax Season in our house has turned into the thank heavens we got a refund dance! And a big one. Big enough that I think I’m going to indulge my husband’s fantasies of a big screen TV. So while he’s pouring over reviews and comparing several acronyms and numbers that I won’t bore you with (HDMI, LED, 1080p, blah, blah, blah) I’m trying to decide if I deserve a new laptop – or maybe Adobe CS5. Well, deserve is the wrong word because of course I deserve all of it. Why is it so much easier to spend money for someone else than for myself? Instead I’m thinking through all of kinds of random silly non-essentials that I might purchase instead. It appears that I’ve always been a sucker for quantity over quality. I want 5 rolls of toilet paper for the price of 1, among other things. Even my posts at Small for Big this week are all about the I-want-me-this factor.
