Welcome to this week’s edition of Aloha Friday.
In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.
If you’d like to participate, just post your own question on your blog and leave your link below. Don’t forget to visit the other participants! It’s a great way to make new bloggy friends!
My question is:
What was the last thing that you splurged on?

I don’t know if this is what “splurge” defines..(normally it should be something fun you do to make yourself feel better right?.. well naturally not our case:P) but we’re kindda forced to spend way to much on my teeth.. it sucks majorly.. cause beside the pain that comes with it, there’s so much cash going that way.. it just sucks!! anyway.. happy thoughts:)
Aloha Everyone!

my question is pretty similar today.
Yesterday I got some work done on my van and we got a new furnace. But I think splurging is actually getting something you are getting as a treat…so bath and body works.

A dress and a winter coat. TGIF!
Teri´s last blog ..psssst!

Noelle D´s last blog ..Thursday Thunks… This should be interesting…
I’m probably going to splurge on buying myself a new pair of sneakers. I’ve had the same pair for over a year and I am really needing something that doesn’t hurt my feet.

I guess you could call it splurge. I had a $39 Old navy card that was for me, but it’s been four months and more and I can’t find anything for me. (Yes I’m very picky). So I bought two sweaters for my daughter.

The last big splurge was for a Wii & Wii Fit Plus 3 weeks ago. But I figure it’s cheaper than a health club membership.
