13 Things I Would Indulge In if Money Was No Object (and it always is!)
I've been away from TT for a while. And I miss it. Plus I wanted to make sure that all the TT-ers got a chance to enter my Eight Below giveaway. So here's a very shallow, self-indulgent TT, prefaced of course with the disclaimer that these indulgences would come AFTER I solved world hunger and clothed the poor.
1. A maid to do all the laundry.
2. A new set of golf clubs
3. A brand new pink golf cart.
4. A MacBook Air. Just because I like new technology. And it's perfect for me for my uses.
5. Machine that mutes my voice whenever I'm about to say, "Because I said so."
6. Golf trip to Maui. My soul-blog-mate Leigh has me thinking about Maui!
7. Bookshelves on a second wall in my study. For the sake of economy, I decided to do built-in shelves on just one wall, but I would LOVE to do the adjacent wall as well.
8. A convertible. I've never had one. And I hardly ever even use the sunroof in my Mommy-van. But I would love to have a sporty little convertible.
9. Plastic surgery. I said I was going to be self-indulgent here. Just a little boob lift and tummy tuck. Nothing major.
10. HBO and Showtime. This time of year when TV sucks, it would be nice to have pay channels.
11. A zoom lens for my Nikon D40. Even though my friend Stef is better at using the camera than I am, it would be a good addition.
12. Laser hair removal. That's enough information. You can try to imagine where.
13. A chauffeur for my kids. Sometimes that's what I feel like. It would be great to be able to delegate that responsibility.
What would you indulge in???
Di
That would be nice wouldn't it? I would love to do the same things.

Great list! I would indulge in MANY of those too (although not the gold-related ones!). Especially 1, 4, 9 and 10! I'd also like a dSLR, so 11 could be on my list too... eventually :)
Happy TT!

My indulgences would have something to do with shoes, handbags, and unlimited account that I did not need to pay, and Bloomingdales!

I'd pay off my mortgage and fix up the house. Happy TT.

I am on board with all the golf references (except the pink cart).

Cooking school in Italy. A small house in the south of france and a privater jet to get there. A new road bike. A new tennis racquet. A lap pool in our basement. A condo at Sugarloaf in ME and a driver to shuttle us back and forth on the weekends. Our own house on Block Island RI. A driver for me in my electric, convertible-top car. A robot that does laundry. Laser hair removal...for my LEGS. And can i pay someone to lose 10 pounds for me? :)

If money were no object and I were pampering myself... radial keratotomy--no more glasses!

The maid sounds pretty good about now. I think I'd also get a new hybrid car.

Personal trainer. House in mountains. Freedom from bill-worries, but not necessarly super-rich, just lessened stress. Maid.

what a great indulgence! i could use a personal masseuse and a private jet with a personal pilot as well. im going WAY overload with my indulgence!
Posted by: Surfergirl | June 05, 2008 at 09:47 AM
I like the idea of #1... And then a personal trainer would always be nice. :)
I am currently indulging in laser hair removal right now. It's great - I highly recommend it. It's also not nearly as much money as I thought it would be, at least here in Michigan

Ah, another wonderful list. I love it! I would indulge in a trip..... a very long one way trip somehwere...... lol

Isn't it fun to dream a little? I like that maid idea. If money were no object (and everyone had food and clothes) I think I'd have an apartment in San Francisco. That way I could bother my son all the time.
Good TT. have a great day!

wow. where would i even begin?
i'd figure out how i'd NEVER have to drive carpool. and i'd buy my dream house. and i'd get a tummy tuck. and a trainer. and a chef. and a blackberry.

I would buy all the books I want, give the local pet shelter money for the animal care, a new BMW... I love to daydream about this!
Thanks for visiting my goddess sign TT.

I would love to have a maid, but I'd be too embarassed by my mess to let her in the door.
Posted by: Alice Audrey | June 05, 2008 at 02:40 PM
I am with you on the hair removal. AMEN!
Posted by: Heather | June 05, 2008 at 02:58 PM
Gosh, MANY of the same things! lol Although my trip to Maui would have nothing to do w/ golf. ;) I'd just love to be there. Tummy tuck & removal stretch marks-most definitely.
A personal trainer & chef would also be nice. Maybe a nanny on standby, but not full-time.
Fun list!

Posted by: she | June 05, 2008 at 07:52 PM
I'd indulge the mac book and convertible for sure, they top my list! Great tt!
Thanks for stopping by!
Peace Giggles

Personal chef. Massage therapist on call. Personal trainer. Personal hair stylist. I'm good at spending money I don't have. Great TT!

If money were no object I'd take a vacation that was a month long and included Kauai and Scotland. For the purposes of photography, you know. Also, a whole day of pampering at a spa.
Sigh.

Hey! I have an idea for your No. 10. (It might be cheaper, I'm not sure ...) If you subscribe to Netflix, it includes instant downloads of a lot of TV series to your computer (and then, if you have the right cable (as in, cord), you can also watch them on your TV. Just a thought. We are HBO-less, so we're trying this. It beats having to remember to return rentals.
