Vacation time!
Today is day 1 of vacation. No sleeping in for me today as I had to get the DDs off to school and I have a ton of de-cluttering and cleaning to do before my in-laws get into town tomorrow. If I have time, I’ll be picking up some flowers for my flower boxes and weed the flower bed. The goal is to not only get the house ship shape for company, but to also keep myself too busy to eat and get tons of exercise. The inlaws are taking the DD’s back to Florida with them for probably a month. Hubby and I are talking about going back on Southbeach while they are gone. The plan works very well for us. I have no idea why we decided to stop following it.
So, last night, Hubby and I were talking about investments and we have an investment that just might pay off in a nice way next year. We were talking about what we’d like to do with part of the money…visit my brother and his family in Asia, buy a newer vehicle, do some really nice landscaping, buy some ATV’s, re-invest it…..then, I mentioned to him that I just might like to have some “nip & tuck” when I reach goal. I thought he’d laugh it off like I was joking. Boy, was I surprised to hear him say that he’d have no problem if that’s what I really wanted to do. I’ve always thought that I’d like to get a tummy tuck. After 4 abdominal surgeries, two pregnancies and carrying around over 100 pounds, my stomach will probably not look so good when I lose the weight. I’d also not be opposed to getting the “girls” put back on the shelf where they belong. :D I’m not really sure that I’d spend the money on the surgery…it kinda seems a bit self indulgent when there are so many other nice things we could do for the whole family…but, then again, it would be kinda nice to feel good in my skin again.

Sounds like a plan to me. It sounds like you’re doing great. My hubby and I have had the same discussion and we plan to invest that in ourselves. We we reach goal, it would be the best reward, after being healthy. Let us know what you decide. Keep up the good work.

I think spending the money on yourself is a great way to celebrate your success and hard work. Whatever you decide be confident about it. I have a friend who had some work done but she will never admit to it. It wasn’t anything major, but after 3 babies in 4 years she just had things put back where they belonged. If you go that route see the surgery as your reward for the hard work and if you choose something else, that’s ok, too. It’s just nice to see that in this economy that SOMEONE is having some luck with their investments!!
