For those of you who think this list is a bit over-the-top, be thankful that I did not include other items, such as the number of nail polishes (625), or sets of earings (312) that I could have really burdened you with.
Brady's just excited to be on salary so I quit calculating opportunity cost on every vacation...

Money does stink...but remember, it comes and goes. Do you recall my car woes last November? Yeah, my fun little wreck ended up costing Eric and me several grand! The tow place robbed me of my CD player/money, my insurance went up, AND this all happened while I was job-hunting....Oh well! Us women are just analytical. If only this, if only that, right?
Holy cow Karen, you guys must be loaded!
Very entertaining! I need to take some lessons from you to make sure all my purchases are really what I want! We can relate though, after this weekend's fiasco, we won't be buying anything fun for awhile either!
That sucks, I feel your pain... well I would be more than happy to help contribute to the Dental Fund...(still up the creak with out our nanny!!!) hehe
I can relate Karen! Infact, I am going into a peradonist on Wednesday to have my gum line fixed. The dentist will be adding some nice donor gum tissue to mine because my gums are apparently receeding so badly. He said it had to be done, and we don't have any dental insurance. On top of that, if I want to have an IV to put me out, it will cost an additional $500! So, I am going to be a brave girl for 1 1/2 hours while they "deaden" the area with a local and start cutting and stitching away. It makes me sick! Just money down the drain. And Brady, just so you know, its hereditary.
