Day 108 - Paycheck Whimsy

Things I'd like to do/get when I have a steady paycheck again.

  • Get a laptop with more than 1 hour of battery life (Ok, that would take more than a couple paychecks.)
  • Buy a $20 shirt without agonizing over the purchase
  • Take a vacation - a true, hiding-in-the-woods-like-the-Unibomber vacation (but with electricity and without the bomb craze crap. I can also sacrifice phone reception.)
  • Get the dog to training classes so she won't pull me down the stairs or bark at every child that walks by. (And yesterday she terrorized another woman simply by walking by her. 20 lbs., folks. 20 lbs. As my friend points out: That's small enough to kick if it attacks you.)
  • Liposuction, liposuction, liposuction (It'd have to be a BIG paycheck, huh?)
  • Replace my car's windshield. It's been sprouting a wicked awesome crack for about a year now - one that's only about 3 inches from the top. 
  • Bask in the glory that is health insurance! (It's like a treasure bath but completely intangible and costs a lot more.)

I wouldn't say that I 'bask in any glory' by having health insurance. I spend more time bitching about it and paying for it than actually using it. Of course, if I didn't have it, I'd probably never leave the house for fear of getting in an accident...so, I guess there's THAT. :)

And just a side note/comment...I read your blogger profile and now I know why we hit it off right away. I too love Barry Manilow!! Mainly his old stuff from when I was a kid. Awesome!

Yeah, you start to look at life a little differently when you don't have health insurance. You put the pocketbook first and health second.

And you are a Barry fiend too? Awesome is frickin' right! You rock!

Thanks for your comments!
