I need a motion activated camera that takes photos at night. I really do! I might never see the bears in my yard without one. (though I’ve seen one 5 miles from here) I neeeeeed it! But I’m not spending $200+ on it, sigh.

I really need one of [these](http://www.flycarolina.com/fleet/images/8170D/beech_bonanza_h.jpg). The first thing I’d do is take **Broomstick** for a ride.

Note to self: buy lottery ticket

Since the alarm clock thread I’ve been trying to talk myself into buying one of those Zen Alarm Clocks. Yeah, $120 for _an alarm clock._

I have enough trouble allowing myself to buy things I really _do_ need, like pants and socks and good winter boots. My clothes have to have holes in them before I’ll even consider it.

Although I did spend $150 on an out-of-print book, earlier this year. Hey! I’m stimulating the economy, right?
