    Cool What is your gazingus pin?

    A gazingus pin is any item that you can't pass by without buying. And somehow it is easily justified (gee, I don't have one in this color, it's only a few bucks, it'll add to my collection, this one has neat features). And it tends to be the same type of item. Whether it is chocolate, fabric, music CDs, sweaters, clothes of a certain color etc.

    This is a term used in Your Money or Your Life by Joe Dominguez and Vicki Robin.

    Mine used to be magazines, but I'm over that now.
    Books will always be a gazingus for me.
    Sometimes it's scrapbooking or cardmaking supplies. I just love all the papers out there!

    Default "educational" for the kids ...

    I've been buying the kids "educational" stuff. Books galore. Legos. Craft stuff for them to do.

    For me, it's books, chocolate, ice cream, whatever craft I'm doing. The "treat" for myself.

    I went shopping today. Spring was in the air and the sandals were everywhere. I just love them.
