How Would You Spend an Extra $100?

My Parents bought me a subscription to Real Simple Magazine for Christmas. It is a wonderful gift and a great magazine. Every month it features an article with this title "How would you spend an extra $100"? Someone writes in their reply and the magazine also provides a pie chart with the break down on how they would spend each dollar. I'm not sure if this is to make people feel badly about spending 68% of the money on wine or a purse, or just to show that some people actually would.

So I decided to think about what I would do if I came into an extra $100. . . here are some possibilitles
* Take Bill and I to dinner at Famous Dave's BBQ
* Save it!
* Buy blinds for one room in our house
* Go on a scrapbook shopping spree
* Buy books
* Have the carpets cleaned
* Buy a new pair of jeans
* Save it for a vacation

It seems like $100 is a lot of money, especially now! What would you do with an extra $100?
