ETA, I don't know if I mentioned earlier in this thread, I had a couple years of lusting after a beautiful (diamond) ring. And, this year did it (3 stone ring symbolizing me and my two kids). And, for many reasons by the time I got the ring it's just not me and I don't wear it. It's an expensive lesson learned. It wasn't until I "scratched" that itch, I realized I didn't have that itch anymore. While I may sell it, more likely will hold onto it and re-purpose the stones for some other project.
New lusts:
a) renovating main bathroom to walk in shower and dedicated area for washer and dryer (versus in my bedroom). Pretty sure this is going to happen.
b) a really nice trip. I keep researching trips, but then gak at the price, and move on with life. I just had so many big expenses these past few years (divorce costs and fees and subsequent division of assets, replacing furnace and ac, braces for youngest (after completing braces for oldest), and remodeling kitchen), I need to have one relatively sane year. I did buy tickets to visit my family. I did spend a little more in case I need to change dates, as my older brother is seriously ill, and we all don't know how much time he has.
