Top 10 Things I Should Have Done With My $100 Prize Money
I won something! My silly $100...this is how I should of spent you:
1. Hired a babysitter so I can make out with my husband in the back of the movie theater like a giddy teenager.
2. Gotten an hour long massage from a swedish hunk who would never touch me for any other reason.
3. Bought underwear I would not be embarrassed of if God forbid I was in an accident.
4. Dinner out...with wine...outside.
5. One of those spa packages where one woman works on my toes, the other on hands and third massaging my shoulders.
6. Bought a new hammock and used it. Often.
7. Put it away for my retirement in french countryside.
8. Bought a dress that is unpractical and will make me feel anything but mom-like.
9. Gotten a haircut at a place where everyone speaks with an accent and massage your head for 20 minutes.
10. Bed sheets with a thread-count higher than my New York rent.
Instead, I am planning to buy my dream Aden + Anais winter baby blanket (have you felt those things?) and blow the rest on silly things that will make my daughter's eyes light up. Yes indeed, I am a mother.
