My thing is probably shoes. Maybe I'll finally buy nice ones instead of Payless (which are great in a pinch but don't last long). And travel (do more than a cruise). And stuff for the house. No more ikea!

For awhile I was able to control it, but now I'm back to buying books! At least most of them aren't taking up space, as they're on the Kindle.
I usually go for the utilitarian look for clothes - professional (in that I'm covered modestly), but not close to being an ___-ista. I guess I really do need to find a hobby beyond books....

I happen to be very materialistic, but since my job will not allow me to buy such extravaggant things anymore...well, that sux! But I have a very nice Coach Bag that was one of the good things that came out of my last miserable relationship. I have a very big weakness for clothes, accessories to match, such as jewelry and I love boots. I am tall enough, but nothing like a sexy pair of boots. Makes a Woman walk like she needs to.

My Coach Bag favors this one, very simple color and gets dirty easily. Wish I had went with darker colors.

My thing is boots too Femme I love all kinds of different style boots. Back in the day I owned a closet full of them. I had black, brown, blue, white, ones that tied up the front, ones that tied up the back, short ones long ones I think you get the picture LOL I had boots that went all the way up my thighs but my favorite ones were my white pattenleather boots and my brown suede one. I still buy boots, but the heel isnt as high as it use to be back when I was a bit younger. I also love earrings and sunglasses. And P.J.s too Well these are a few of the things I love

For me, it's the 3 G's Golf, Girls, Gambling... And I suck at all 3! Fortunately for my pocketbook, I only go to vegas about 2 - 3 times a year. Sometimes I win (ok, who am I kidding, most of the times I lose ) Unfortunately for my pocketbook, living in Southern California means a lot of great weather for golfing. Perhaps I should be spending more money on girls instead. -showtime

I am into cutting the crap out of my life and saving some serious money on my everyday expenses like groceries for example.
My thing right now is mastering the fine art of saving money playing the CVS extra bucks game. It's a new hobby.
I am more impressed by my canned good collection than a giant Imelda Marcos-esque shoe collection I NEVER had or wanted.
Times have changed.

My thing is Bunco with the girls once a month. We all chip in $10 and buy prizes for the winners, when they host they buy decorations for the house. When I host I buy gift cards.
If I have extra money I love to go for massages. I haven't been able to afford one for over a year though. I also like to spend money on my daughter. Those are my only things I can thing of right now.
Use to spend money on books, now if I can't find it at the library I pass on it.

I knew some guys who painted for their dad when we were in high school- actually almost every kid in town who could sling paint and was over the age of 11 had a job with him at one time or another during the summer- he would make the boys wear those white painter's overalls when they did high-dollar jobs and sometimes when they came home- they looked like they were wearing Garanimals... Best looking boys I had ever seen in Garanimals... GRRRRRR

Yeah I really don't have a material thing. Especially with an autistic son who chews on everything and you just never know what he is going to destroy next. So not a fashionista either. I embarrass my sister LOL. I love to travel and spend time with friends... Now I may need to go find my friends...

I love playing hockey. I will spend thousands of dollars a year to play in leagues and travel to tournaments. I'm a dork.

I used to love floor hockey in school. I would play ice hockey, but I skate terribly, have broken my right ankle at least 3 times and there re few leagues here for women that we know of. Curling is pretty popular with the ladies though.
