We have been tagged

Ok so Annie tagged us awhile ago to write 10 things that we splurge on and 10 that we will not. We are so cheap so it has taken us a few days to come up with our list.

1. Anything medical or health related. When it comes to feeling better or my family feeling good I will pay for it. We are putting Sam in a biofeed back program that is going to be crazy expensive but it will be worth it if she can feel better.

2. Disneyland. We have gone twice. I have saved like you would not believe so that we could go and it was so worth it. We had so much fun.

3. Steve's computers. We have to get the expensive kind because Steve has to edit videos on them. This is not a fun splurge for me.

4. Running shoes. I did not believe is buying expensive shoes and then Steve made me buy a pair(they were only $40)because my knees are so bad and they are so nice. I now agree that you need nice running shoes so that you can save your joints.

5. Formula. Ok this is a cruddy splurge. but when it makes a difference between insane nonstop screaming or a normal child than we buy the $25 a can formula. Steve says that Josh will only accept gourmet stuff. Hopefully only 2 more months and then he is going to have to take the walmart brand.

6. Jeans. Thanks to my friend Melissa and a girls night out I learned that cheap jeans make my bum look saggy. Who knew!

7. Lip gloss(me not Steve). I have an addiction to lip gloss. It is really weird. I have done so well though because I have not bought any for 6 months.

8. Fertilizer. Steve has to have his grass looking pretty and green.

9. Long distance. I have to talk to my mom and sisters all the time and Carrie. Steve knows that if i don't talk to them then I will talk to him!!!

10. Gym memberships. I have to have the gym, it keeps me sane and therefore my family stays happy.



NON SPLURGE

1. Food . Everything is generic Walmart brand.

2. Diapers. Once again Walmart.

3. Makeup. (Lip gloss does not count) I hate it and refuse to spend money on it. I
have tried to buy it and I end up looking ridiculous.

4. Cars. We had a nice car once and we hated the payment so we traded it in and and got a cheap van that runs really well and we hardly have any payment. Steve drives our old car.

5. Furniture. Everything that we have is from the DI except some end tables that Steve bought me. I figure that when my kids are gone I will get nice furniture.

6. Movies. We never see a movie when it first comes out we just wait till it goes to the dollar theater.

7. Crafts. I can't do them.

8. Josh clothes. We have been REALLY blessed and everyone we know that has had a boy gives us there hand me downs.

9. Vacations beside Disney. Our tradition and family vacation is to go to mom and dads cabin(thank you mom and dad) and spend a week. We love it and it only cost us food and gas.

10. Books. I love to read but we just go to the library A LOT. I figure that I read them so fast that it is a waste to buy them.

That was fun. All right I am tagging Brenda, Melissa, Ashley and Katie.
