Forget the efund or the special savings. I mean what do you want right now that you can't afford that just pops into your head. Lets just day dream a little.

I want bikes for me and my two kids. It is because of the warmer weather and I want to set a good example and get outside and active with them. There is no way that is going to happen this month with all that is going on but I still WANT them!

What do you want?

I have a whole list of things I want but can't afford (yet!!!)


A bike to get to work (and in shape!)


New living room furniture (currently if more then three people are over, I need to pull out the folding chairs!)


A new kitchen table (completely unnecessary!)


A new bench for the main hall


Clothes, lol.


Fingers crossed that by the end of the summer I will be able to knock a few off my list!!!

Oh, I love this game.


I agree with most, a house, larger, more open, windows and higher ceilings with a big gourmet kitchen like I used to have, but on more land.


But since that looks to be at least a few years off - a king size brown leather headboard ($499 at Target) and dresser for our room and carpet for the kids room and stairways ($2600).


But instead I will use that money to pay taxes.

My wants are house-related.

I want to finish my basement, and I want to completely redo my landscaping. We moved into a house whose yard was already landscaped, but a lot of things that were put in just don't make sense to me, so I want to completely change. I'd also like a sprinkler system installed in my yard.

The first thing that popped into my mind was an Ergo baby carrier. DS is already a year old, but there are still times when I could really use something like that.

If we're going to sell our house, we're going to *need* new carpet upstairs and in the basement and we'll need to paint the trim on the outside and refinish the deck, along with a few relatively minor repairs that we've lived with, but would need to be fixed before we sell.

I also want...

A cleaning lady to come in a couple times a month.

A vacation

A regular babysitter so DH and I can go out alone once in a while

A new refrigerator (which might become a need before too much longer)
