i like computer toys, software that i can play with, right now i'm trying to figure out Adobe Premiere Elements. I want to make some snazzy vlogs!

I bought a movie I love called Hedwig and the angry inch. It is definitely not for everyone but the music, story, and film tells a story that I can relate to. Figuring out who you really are in this world is not easy. That is the basic story told in a strange way.

my challenge to reward 'me'... even though I should have cleaned the kitchen last night when we got home, the 4 of us watched a movie together and I did NOT get up...usually I can't sit through a whole movie w/o thinking I should be cleaning or laundry

I rewarded myself with going to see gran torino and mall cop last weekend with friends. I also bought two movies Fireproof and Flywheel. As I try to get myself to eat healthier, I must also
work on strengthening myself spiritually with happiness, laughter, sadness(tears of joy), and inspirational messages of hope.

My gift to myself... I went to a Stampin' Up! Team Meeting in Freeport Long Island. It was an hour + drive and I only thought about a cigarette ONCE! 25 minutes into the drive I said "Wow, 6+ weeks ago I would have had 5 by now!" LOL. I learned a lot of new ideas for my stamping business and today I made a gift for my family. I LOVE weekends like this.

I rewarded myself with an Ipod, hoping it will further motivate me to get on the treadmill at o'dark thirty in the morning. It's tough for me to exercise right now as sometimes I work straight through until 12 or 1 in the morning and then get up day my daughter to daycare and do it all over again.
Kim
I like to give myself software or books for my kindle. This week it was the upgrade to iWork and iLife.
Scott
I took my camera and went out for a nice long nature hike along the Mississippi river. This is a reward for me in a few ways. It allows me to get some quiet time, and with little ones at home this is nice sometimes (although I would LOVE it if they want to come with). It also allows me to play with my camera, and I almost always see some cool stuff.
Joanie
My reward was going shopping and getting a new outfit :)
Rachel
My non-food reward would be allowing myself to be lazy this weekend,
except for a few necessary chores and exercise. I would have worked
this weekend, but I got everything done ahead of time to make it
possible for me to relax. And it feels great.
Jenny
My non food reward was taking a bath. That may sound silly but I cannot even tell you the last time that I took the time to relax and take a bath. I usually just 'have no time' and hop in the shower. It was amazing! The day I took the bath I had gone 4 miles on the cross trainer then had to shovel 12+ inches of snow from around my car! Great job everyone!
Cara
Rewarded myself with a new coat & pair of jeans. I was going to buy the movie Fireproof, but it was sold out.
Gina
I had to think long and hard to this last challenge but, finally I decided what my reward was last night. I am buying a Macromedia Flash Cs4 Classroom in a book. It has been a while since I have really done any animation and I need some brushing up. I think in the end it will be a great reward in more ways than one.
Julia
I bought myself some new shirts. I have this thing about spending money on myself, especially now, when money is so tight. Every once in a while, when I have an extra $10 or $20, I make a game of it and scour the clearance racks at Target to see how much I can get for my money. Saturday, I found a black shirt for $2.48, a green one for $4.58 and a cute argyle sweater vest for $4.89. They're a size smaller than I used to wear and they fit! Double bonus. :D

For my reward, I bought myself a Bissel 'Flip-It' dry floor cleaner (I have lots of tile and hard floors). You use it in one way for vacuuming and then flip it around and it mops and dries. It arrived on the day the temps broke records - it was the hottest day in 70 years! So, I didn't get to play with it until the other night when the temp came down. There I was at 11pm cleaning the kitchen floor. Works great, and because it holds water and detergent, it's also a good arm work out - just enough to be noticeable but not so much that it hurts to use. WIN!
Jill
Last Sunday after our chat, I went shopping. I love clothes, clothes love me, I am a clothes horse (gee, I sound like I'm in a 12 step program for shopaholics - wait, maybe I should be!) LOL
However, I can find sales like you won't believe. Coldwater Creek was having a 75% off sale - I got a jacket originally for $89.99 for $17.98 - well, they had lace tanks (my signature item), buy one get one 1/2 off, so I got two (I should have bought at least three - drat)....
And then I just moseyed into Clarks just to see how those Privos would fit (gotta keep my fat teacher feet from ailing) - and low, and behold - both the brown and the black fit wonderfully, and they were buy one, get one half off. So I came home last Sunday with a new jacket, two tanks, two new pairs of shoes. That reward set me back just a little bit, but it was worth it! :-)
I think I'm going to set my reward as an hour by myself at Borders, Barnes & Noble, Starbucks etc... reading. I don't want to buy myself anything as a reward all the time - that will just replace the food high. Besides, when I'm nice and skinny - I'll just have to get another new wardrobe anyway (my OLD skinny clothes are 10 years old - and a little out of style).
Raquel
i was going to give myself an hour of me time but that didn't happen; i did go to dressbarn and bought a new suit during their suit sale last week...
