Let's Give You Somethin' to Talk About...

When I get depressed about life, I do one of two things, or both...eat and spend money! Even if I am depressed about being fat or being in debt. The answer is always eat and spend money. I find it much more enjoyable to eat a big dessert with someone, and I wouldn't think of going to the mall to shop by myself.

Is it not more fun spending money that is not yours? I know I spend Paul's a lot quicker. =) If you were given $100, what would you do with it? I am not looking for practical answers. I know what I would do...probably go for a tanning pass and a new outfit. All you have to do is comment, and tell me what you would spend $100 on, and 1 winner will be chosen to get...

$100 Visa card!!

Comment. Go!

This contest ends May 31st @ Midnight!

are you kidding me??? I am so willing to do this. I would treat myself to a day at the spa! facial, pedicure, manicure and I would grab a tan too! I don't get many days without kids or working, so I would spend it on myself and have NO GUILT!
you see right now. My baby is screaming and my 2 boys are fighting over one LEGO, not a whole bunch of lego's, Just ONE LEGO! I need a day out! you rock

I would like to say that I would spend it on myself, but in all actuality I would probably stock the food storage a bit more! Although a facial, massage, mani and pedi do sound pretty tempting! :)

dust and kam said...

OMGosh! $100.00 to myself... so many options! I would probably go to Costco and buy fresh fruits and veggies. Is that funny? lol I know!

I might but a new outfit... or put it towards a new TV. So many things you can do with $100.00!

What would I do with 100 $$??? There are so many things you could do with 100$$
I would take my husband out for a nice supper and a movie or just go north and get away, get a hotel room for the evening, spend some quality time together for he is my life and I wouldn't want to leave him out, for 100 $'s we could both enjoy it. The time together that we have and will have is priceless to me and I would love to spend a nice quiet evening alone with him without our roomie... I wouldn't want it any other way...
By the way I am a follower!!!

My hubby spoils me all the time, and maybe i can spoile him a little bit too.
maybe take him to dinner and a movie or recreate our first date together.

I would give it to my girls to go buy new summer clothes. Then after they bought them I would raid their closet and wear them to. It's great have girls that you can exchange clothes with. They think I am the best for letting them get new things and I get to wear the clothes and not deal with the mall =) -Janet

tlkcreations said...

I would love to win this!! And you already know what I would spring for... a new camera! If I get one before this ends(hopefully) I would so get a tanning pass cuz I am Casper white get my nails and toes done and then ... oh maybe spend the rest on Kenzie! YOU know that I am a follower cuz I am living through you!! lol lol ha ha

Amber said...

marci said...

Okay, since TODAY is my Birthday and all, I'd spend that 100 free dollars on pampering!! I'd treat my boyfriend and I to an hour massage! He deserves one too. :) Wow, thanks for letting us all participate in this awesome giveaway! I'm becoming a follower too for sure.

Jenni and Chad Stewart said...

A hundred bucks huh? Maybe date night with my husband, maybe some clothes to help me get through the "inbetween" size of being pregnant and my regular size. Maybe replacement items for broken things that I HATE spending our own money on like a new ironing board, new hand mixer, etc. Hmmm, too many ideas!

Unknown said...

If I won $100 it would give me just the amount of motivation I need to finish up my blog book and order it from blub.com, one copy for me and one copy for my mom. Oh, and I would definitely order about a dozen of those Mint chocolate cupcakes for sure!!

I've been a follower from the beginning, you are awesome!

Liz said...

Honestly, I'd probably spend the money on books. Before I was married and had kids, I bought books all the time, whenever I felt like it. I have shelves and shelves of books at home. After I got married, I had to scale back the spending (on myself) and so books were one of the first to go. Now I visit the library once a week and only buy 1-2 books a month. I miss books...

Bennett said...

I would take my mom out to dinner! She does so much for me and I need to repay her somehow. And then I'd keep the change! hehe :)

Debbie said...

I would spend it on a certain grand-daughter just so she could have fun. Wonder which grand-daughter that would be?? Good luck to whoever gets it.

Unknown said...

If I WON 100.00 I would go to IKEA! I want some really cool shelves and that is just what I would buy!!! :)

I am also a new follower, so that gives me 5 more entries right??

Candice said...

Well, I would do something that would make a difference with my 100bucks. Because really, I'm all about making a difference.

2 words for ya.

HAPPY HOUR

Think of all the memories $100 worth of $3 dollar well drinks would provide?

Unknown said...

You are going crazy woman! For real. First off, if I had $100 Visa gift card, I would NOT be giving it away on my bloggity blog. I would be going to buy myself that tanning pass and new outfit. :-) But since you are asking...I would buy myself a few new charms for my favorite new bracelet and also take myself to lunch while I was at it. I am already picturing myself there now. And I am following you now, watch out. lol

Kings said...

ummm...i would probably get my eye brows waxed, go to forever 21 and buy a new dress, then get a big fat ice cream, then buy tons of new makeup :)
i'm a follower

Jerilee E. said...

Wow- $100 for myself. There are so many things that I could do with that! I'm so torn... I would definitely need a new outfit and purse... or buy whatever I want from Costco instead of what my kids say I should buy. Whatever I chose, it would definitely end with eating something huge with cheese and finishing with a giant amount of something chocolate.
Oh yeah- I am now a follower.

Lori Killian said...

$100... I would say that I would shop but since I"m six months pregnant and growing larger everyday shopping has become depressing... Maybe a day at the spa when the baby is here and stressing me out... that sounds good.

Evonne!!! What a rockin' giveaway!

I would get a family pass to the zoo for the summer - my kids love it there! Ours is about to expire and we can't afford to renew it right now.

And let's see - with any leftover, I would take my husband to dinner. He's so sweet and supportive of my crazy blog life - he deserves a little kickback every once in awhile (not just leftover Mickey-shaped pretzels!)

I'd buy another pair of Big Star pants. I look awesome in those. I need like 100 pairs.

ebby said...

I would spend the $100 on a mani/pedi at a fancy salon. I usually do my own nails but having them done professionally would be a treat. While the toes are being done I will be enjoying a nice big caramel sundae with pecans and whipped cream. Oh what a yummyday for me!

Val said...

I would take my good friend Callee out for a day. We live just 2 streets away and yet it is hard to get our schedules worked out to do anything together. And today.... I dogged her. I was busy cleaning out my basement and lost track of time and forgot to go foot biking with her. I suck at being a friends so I am going to use it to buy my friend.
