Girl Talk Thursday 06

Girl Talk Thursday is Mommy Melee‘s weekly event, and I really love the thought, so here it comes: my thoughts on the topic of “What would you spend $50 on, guilt free?”!

My first thought was a pair of shoes.  I hate nearly every pair of shoes I own, except for my flip-flops, which fortunately I’m able to wear nearly every day now.  I need at least one pair of “dressy” shoes.  Something with a cute little kitten heel would be awesome.  I’d throw them on with a pair of jeans and strut my stuff like a peacock.

Hopefully I could squeeze in an eyebrow threading with that too.  At our old place, I went to this beautician where threading was $3, but everyone around here wants like $15 to shape my brows.  Ridiculous!  Maybe that’s why my eyebrows are wild things that haven’t had any tending to since, oh… last May?

Knowing me, though, if I had $50 FOR MYSELF (as in, I had to spend it on me), I’d buy food.  Not pre-made, not at a restaurant, but I’d go into a grocery store and pick up those little indulgent items I usually pass.  Organic produce.   A nice bottle of balsamic vinegar, not whatever’s on special.  A savoury loaf of fresh-baked bread as well as a loaf of sweet cranberry & pumpkin seed, with a sharp cheese to pair with the former and a creamy spreadable cheese for the latter.  Maybe some specialty salt.  A nice portion of salmon.  And I’d probably buy a bottle of that juice that’s in the produce section that costs like $7 apiece, but has all sorts of cool fruit and veggie flavours in it.

Then I’d eat that food while my antsy baby squirmed in my arms.  Sigh!
