Hop skip and a jump to Day 17: Want

I have it on good authority (thanks, Facebook) that the fine participants of Lent!Blog! were busy doing real stuff in the real world this weekend, so we're going to give ourselves a "blogging bye" and return to the Challenge today.

I've been relatively thrifty lately, but the promise of spring is getting to me. I'm itching for sundresses, flats, brightly-colored jewelry, a pedicure. In reality, I'm putting my hard-earned dollars into the same old buckets: student loans, rent, car payment, insurance, savings. And I'm noticing that despite my diligence, I'm still not on the verge of an early retirement. Shocker, no?

In honor of us all being such great bill-payers, I vote we hit up Fantasy Island, if only for a few minutes.

Name three things you want, and don't you dare feel guilty while doing so.

MacBook Pro, for how many more years will I covet you?

I have a perfectly decent coffee maker but french press just looks sexier.

This is one of about seven ruffled duvets I have bookmarked. And yet, each night I fall asleep under the rough Ikea comforter I purchased approximately five years ago. (Seriously, Ikea, just tell me the truth. Is your bedding made of horse hair?)
