    Which one was it?  I've been thinking of trying one out.

    For Milo, a Gryffindor Quidditch shirt, and for me, a new polka dot scarf.

  • Hmm, toss up between the EA Active 2 for the Wii, the new car stereo, or the car itself.  Or it could be the smartphone that I might pull the trigger on tomorrow. 

    Gah, I need to stop the retail therapy!

  • How sad is this? I'm drawing a blank. A huge blank. Does nerdy stuff like translating dictionaries count? Probably not since they're work related.

  • I buy myself a lot of stuff too MrsA! My favourite recent purchase was actually one of my first ever grownup purchases - a silver and garnet Jewish star necklace I got in Prague. It makes me ridiculously happy and I've worn it almost every day since.

  • A full flamenco outfit for my daughter when we were in Sevilla. Dress, shoes, fan, earrings, the whole 9 yards. I danced flamenco for years when I was growing up, so seeing her take an interest in it is super fun and beats the heck out of all the princess dress-up clothes we have amassed. It's a good thing we don't have neighbors underneath us, though, because she can make quite a racket in those shoes!

  • ps- sorry for being an AW, I couldn't help myself.

    @ Kelly321- I am a big fan of dictionaries, too. I have been lusting after a Petit Larousse illustrated dictionary (reco'd by Publius- merci!) but can't justify it until I pick up another French-English translating gig. Right now all I've got is work from Spanish.

  • Anna- Super cute picture!

    My last fun purchase was Haagen Daaz Ice Cream. Yum! I still have to dig into it.

    My H left for the states and I gave him a list of things he should get if he gets a chance, so that was a fun list to make.  

  • I'm going to go with my iphone.  It wasn't just for fun as my old phone was a PIECE!  However I'm having fun. :-)

  • For our Valentine's day celebration I bought myself a fancy fascinator hat, which I love! It will be the first a whole collection :)

    More recently I bought Super Mario party 8 for the Wii. Last night we played the real estate board and had a blast!

    My "translation books" wishlist on amazon is embarrassingly long. Embarrassed When I finally get this PhD finished and get started really translating (right now I'm limited to 20 hours / month of work), I have budgeted 1000? for books, and while I'm sure that will give me a good start, it certainly will not cover all of my list. 

    ::sighs wistfully at the thought of illustrated dictionaries::

    ps - That picture of your daughter is so cute! :-)

  • I bought a fun new outfit last weekend. Bright blue skinny jeans and a black sequin top and a pink stripped top. I promise it's not a fashion nightmare :)
  • I bought some cute easter eggs to go on one of our lilacs in the yard. Pretty excited about that, and the big bobby car I bought for DD at the same time. She was excited, too.

  • My last splurge was 3 dresses at H&M for M, and some books for W. For me? Nothing in ages. I'm saving up (slowly) for a smartphone, but am worried itwill go to a new bathroom suite...

     That is so adorable!

    I took Spanish dance along with my ballet lesson. I learned a lot of different dances and it was so much fun! Hopefully she will give it a try someday! 

    ------------------------------

    I upgraded my iphone last weekend. It's nice to be able to open apps now. My iphone 3G was a pain in the ass.

    I bought some more nail polish today too.
