My blogging friend Katestarted this “un-frugal Friday” post in honor of Crystal’s vacation from Frugal Friday. Sounds like fun! So, if I wasn’t Frugal Franny…
- If you had $100 that you had to spend on a luxury item, what would you spend it on? (I cannot believe this is so hard for me! I seriously have been trying to come up with an answer since I read the question last night. I think I even went to bed thinking about it! How hard should it be to think of the frivolous spending of $100??? People do this every day!!!) The best I can come up with is some non-mommy clothes. Something pretty to go out on the town. *cough, cough* Like we ever do that…
- If you had to eat out every day for a week, which restaurants would you go to? Oh my word, Kate, you’re killing me. I don’t think I can even name five restaurants! But I do love Outback Steakhouse, and I’d go five days in a row if you’d let me. And I’d order Alice Springs Chicken every time! (I know, I know… I need to get out more!) Well, now, wait a minute. I love a good burger. I hear Red Robin has some of the best. And if I was really eating out that many days in a row… my body would be screaming for a fresh salad around day 3 or 4. I’ve had good salads at Applebee’s… and maybe Olive Garden? or was that Italian Garden? I don’t know, that was about 10 years ago.
- What is one non-frugal thing you’ve done recently where you were glad you didn’t have a blog video recording you? Not so recently, I guess, but for my sister’s wedding in July I bought a pair of $10 sandals for my 1 year old, knowing full well that she probably would scream if I put them on her feet. She abhors shoes. Come family photo time, which also happened to be nap time, she was already grumpy and I didn’t dare put the sandals on for fear of ruining the picture… bare feet seemed like a better idea than a screaming child. Fast forward 3 months — the sandals are still sitting on my dresser in the box. Never worn. Never returned. (You can see a picture of my family at the wedding on my True Riches page.) OH, Oh wait! My sister-in-law just had a baby girl last night! Her first girl! Surely she’ll need cute white sandals next summer, right? I feel so much better now.
- This question is mine. Kate stopped at three. If money were no object and you had to take a vacation (you poor thing) where would you go? Alaskan cruise, hands down. Lance and I will do that someday, mark my words!
Feel free to play along on your blog! Let me know if you do and I’ll visit!







#4 is tough. There are SO many places I’d love to go someday. My top two would be a bed & breakfast tour through the upper East Coast or the Mediterranean isles. Definitely not frugal…but fun!
Isn’t it hard to thing of frivolous things to spend $100 on?
Ha Ha! So much fun! I’m playing along!

They have an Alice Springs quesadilla now. It’s all the yummy AS stuff in a thick tortilla, with a side of honey mustard. Enough for lunch the next day, as my daughter didn’t like it and we were splitting it
