a good man...

I have the hardest time letting go of money. I get physically sick if I spend more than 100 dollars on anything for myself.

Oh boy - I thought I was the only one like this! Last night I spent $1800 on a new bike for myself (like you - a Cannondale after months of riding my MTB on the roads) and feel awful about spending the money but great about having a road bike!

My mind goes in such funny circles... if I buy it, I will be healthier, and may live longer... but if I live longer then I shouldn't spend the money because I will need that $1800 in my retirement fund... but I could (knock on wood) die soon, and then would have wanted the freedom of the new bike... but if I die soon, I would want DH to have the money to help offset the loss of my income... but...

I gave DH a Seven for our seventh wedding anniversary - I don't have a problem spending it for someone I love! What a great gift from your DH... I love those little (and big!) things they do to show how much they care. Have a fantastic time!

You must tell me what bike you purchased...I tell you, the new paint jobs on the Synapse Feminines this year are gorgeous! Love the black, blue and white combo.
