Tradition!

I feel a new tradition I would like to start on Friday's over here at Adventures in Atlanta...

If I had a hundred dollars that I could spend what would I buy??? I never have a hundred dollars that I could spend guilt free. I know its pretty sad... but when you are a young family sometimes its like "do I buy a new pair of shoes or does my daughter get diapers?" As you can see I'm a real selfless and caring person... seriously me and Angelina Jolie lives run parallel sometimes, because Kate always has a fresh clean diaper to put on.

So today Friday May 2, 2008 if I had a one hundred dollar bill this is what I'd buy.

from Piperlime.com

I'd get these bad boys



$50

I love how they are dip dyed a kinda cool gray into a black


from shade clothing

I'd get this really cool shirt




$32.50


That leaves me $17.50

which I'd go get a....


manicure

$10 and $3 for a tip

so that leaves $4.50

Diet Coke
and a couple of itunes!



Just so you know in this little fantasy shopping there is no tax. and no shipping fees if I buy online. k?


A BIG P.S.
I listened to this song by Marie Digby and thought it was good. it has nothing to do with any personal feelings or anything. (chad called and asked me if I was feeling a little blue after reading my post and listening to the song :)

I would have to say that I would blow it all at the MAC counter! Does me no good to buy clothes or anything cute these days with my big ol' preggo belly!

I'd stock up on some hot colors and call it good!

I'm still lamenting the loss of the 'Lure' lipstick that you got me when I started at Oracle!!! That was the best color ever and I sadly laid it to rest last month. It was a sad, sad day for me.

$100 very well spent! The shoes are hot too! I liked the song too!

Oh Britta...I would spend it at MAC too! It's been AGES since I splurged on makeup! Now I just buy whatevers 50% off at RiteAid, and use my mascara down to the last drop! Dried out mascara + blow dryer = one more application!

Have a great weekend!

I think I would blow it at Old Navy and buy a little summer wardrobe. 100 bucks goes a long way there! Shell, you would look like such a cool fig pimp in those shoes. You should splurge on them.

I'd be hitting up the craft stores and buying buying buying to my heart's content (papers, brads, ribbons, embellishments, stamps, inks, fibers, ETC!!). Cothes shopping for me is never fun. Nothing ever fits properly, and if it does, I'm so horrified by the price tags that even if I DID have the money to spend guilt-free, I'd STILL feel guilty!

That shirt you picked really is cute!!

Rachel said...

I like your new tradition. I will check every Friday for updates (and some days in between!)

That sounds like a fun day of shopping... if only it was real! Today I went up to the outlets to do some returns since the cash flow is low and I saw lots of cute stuff! And I drove through the Avenues at Forsyth... so I would have definatly spent all my money in those two places! At least for today! Tomorrow would probably be something different!

I like that shirt from Shade. I got their catalog the other day and they have some cute stuff!

Jessie said...

I agree I love your (pretend)purchases....we should go get pedicures/manicures one day together. Your post makes me want a pedicure!!

Betsy Hart said...

I would just love to have a hundred dollars! lol. What a great idea!! Can I join in too?? May not be every friday, as I am not too good at carrying on tradions... lol

Kaci said...

Ooooo love the hot shoes!! And hell yes about the manicure...I'd take a pedi too! My hands and feet are horrific! :) Have a great weekend!! Peace out!

Kate said...

Where do you go to get $10 manicures? I'm totally there! I SERIOUSLY need a pedicure. After my mystic tan yesterday, my toes and bottoms of my feet got the spray tan stuff all over them again. I'm such a dork! I'm in for a pedicure as soon as possible. Let's go. I'm driving over right now. just kidding on the driving over part. I'm obviously still typing. duh. With my $100 this week I would buy some mineral makeup...yeah baby.

You have to be the funniest person I know!! I'm glad you buy my little KayKay diapers!!! And just to let you know...everytime I say something or do something, Jill always threatens me and says, "Shelly's right- Satan IS going to marry you!!" HAHHAAHHAHAHAHA!! I miss you!!

Leah said...

you came over and commented today on yesterdays blog while I was in the middle of posting TODAY'S blog! LOL come back and give me some birthday wishes... *grin*

PS I'm liking that shirt more and more everytime I look at it!

Leah said...

princessleahmae@aol.com *grin* now you have to follow through! lol

Shauna said...

Hmmm...I think I will work on coming up with what I would do with $100. I am sure I can think of something! LOVE the shoes!

Jen said...

Ok I love this tradition (marie Digby rocks and is coming to Detroit with eric hutchinson in a few weeks..crap my kid just went outside naked)
anyway what a great idea!! I need new makeup badly

Our Family said...

I think that fake buying might just be as fun as really doing it... I may have to give it a try! Ryan keeps asking me what I want for my birthday, and I can't think of anything? Any ideas? I may have to steal your shirt, it is way cute.
