I'm broke. Really broke. I've paid off a huge chunk of debt, but the result is that I have no spendable dollars, and I'm going to have a pretty hefty bill to the IRS thanks to my filing situation (married-filing-separately). Which makes me super broke. Even still, a girl can dream of things that aren't completely out of line with wanting. A bike? Shoes? Things that would do me a little bit loads of good.
This beautiful Schwinn Point Beach Cruiser Bike in Red/Cream ... le sigh ... I can picture myself riding to a farmer's market or the gym or anywhere, really. Price Tag: $130-200
I want very much to up my shoe game. I've been working out about 3-4 days a week (that's a half-hour on elliptical + a half-hour doing weights), and I'm using walking shoes that I purchased more than four years ago while living in Chicago. (I remember the trip well -- I had to take a few buses and a train to a Kohl's.) As such, I've realized I should probably buy some shoes that are more attuned to the type of workout I'm doing these days and, you know, shoes that aren't specifically "walking" shoes.
So I'm thinking about something like the Vibram FiveFingers JAYA. If, you know, I can ever afford them. Price Tag: $85.00
I finally bought a washing cup on Thursday. I mean, it was a $3.99 gold plastic washing cup, and I really don't want it to be my main cup, but it gets the job done, I guess. I want to start working on adding more mitzvoth to my calendar. Thus, I've found this beautiful Brown Polyresin Washing Cup that, yes, it might not be expensive, but, well, groceries or a washing cup, you tell me. Price Tag: $34
There's also a lot of other Judaica that I need, but, well, can't afford -- like a challah board! Also, it's killing me that I don't have any Judaica to wear. I have some, but, well, it's attached to previous relationships and I can't get around that. So, I'm looking at this Letters of Creation Necklace. Price Tag: $82.00
Oh and there is so much more. But, well, dreaming can only go so far. What are you dreaming about?

G-d willing, you'll be able to afford them soon enough.
ReplyDeleteI love that necklace! It's so gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI highly suggest the Vibrams. I've been wearing them for just over a year regularly and I wouldn't go back to normal shoes. I like being able to feel what I'm walking on, especially when I'm hiking in the woods. You can also throw them in the washing machine if they get really gritty. I got mine at a fine discount with my REI annual dividend as well as a 20% off coupon.
ReplyDeleteNo offense, but it kinda looks like you are asking people to buy you these things.
ReplyDeleteAs an entire thread on a forum on the internet has pointed out ...
ReplyDeleteI'm not asking people to buy me these things. In fact, I've done these kind of lists a million times before, and it has never received such a reaction. Bloggers do lists like this all the time. I have no donate button, and I'm not asking anyone to buy me anything.
FWIW, didn't even occur to me. Maybe because I've been following Chaviva for a few years now and I know she's not like that.
ReplyDeleteWow. Thanks for making my wishlist for me ;-). Especially the Vibrams. But I've got to get past a Bar Mitzvah this year ...
ReplyDeleteIt's good to have a wishlist and nice to have an idea of "gifts" you'd like to get yourself as your money situation changes. It sucks that there are no occasions for friends to get each other things, aside from birthdays, baby showers, and weddings. After what you've been through, I think someone should throw you a "Congrats For Getting Out Of An Unhappy Marriage!" shower.
