Besides having a purpose to get out of the house everyday, this news is especially great because I have a paycheck. According to my husband, it is my duty to blow my first paycheck. Ok, he didn't say it was my duty, but he said I should blow it and I'm not going to let him rescind this offer.
The issue, of course, is what to buy with my first paycheck.
I could invest in a new camera and/or lenses that I've been eyeing for ages....
Canon 7D from Amazon
Or, I could update my wardrobe that has been neglected over the past few years.....
I have a feeling JCrew would be involved in this scenario. A lot of JCrew
Or, I could buy all the really expensive things we didn't get off our wedding registry.....
This Le Creuset pot is just gorgeous, how have I not bought this already?!
Or, I could do a combination of all three. Or, I could buy something else entirely. Or nothing. Infinite possibilities are bad for indecisive people like me.
What would you spend your money on? Do you or your spouse have a policy to blow your first paycheck?
Hooray! Congratulations!!!
ReplyDeleteI think I'd go for the clothes first. The camera will lead to an avalanche of more purchases...get the wardrobe ready first!
You make a very good point! I've been saving for a new camera anyway, so I can just wait and buy it when I have some extra funds.
DeleteCONGRATULATIONS!!!! I hope I can join you in the ranks of employment soon.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to get a job so I can go on a major clothes shopping spree, so I vote that. :-)
I'm rooting for you, I know it will happen soon! This is not my ideal job, but it's a start and hopefully it will lead to more promising venture in the future.
DeleteCongratulations on the job! That's so exciting! I've never blown my entire paycheck in one go, but if I did ... probably designer shoes. :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, I doubt I will actually blow the entire thing, I would feel too guilty, but it's fun to imagine :)
DeleteCONGRATULATIONS!!! Such great news! I vote for some new clothing/a great new work wardrobe- you deserve it!
ReplyDeleteI think the job luck is going around ;)
DeleteCongrats on the new job!!! I've never blown a paycheck, but I did use my first (very small bonus) on a new printer. If I could blow a paycheck now I think I would use it on a vacation or a new lens for the camera.
ReplyDeleteThanks, what kind of lens would you get? I can't get a new camera and lens, but it's fun to dream!
DeleteCongratulations!! I'm so happy for you. Definitely blow it on either clothing or a fancy dinner out. You deserve it.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Of course I can spend money now that I have no time to actually go to the mall, such is life.
DeleteCongrats on the job! That's super exciting. :) I have to tell you, as soon as I saw the pot my first thought was "of course the pot is green!" (but in a nice, friendly way not a snarky way, promise)
ReplyDeleteHa! You obviously know me well :) To be fair, we have quite a few LC pans, but none in green, so I kinda need it.
