and a totally unexpected work bonus = 2x
then it's important to be sure that
x + (2x) > p + v + s
with p = a new play system
v = a Disney Vacation and
s = a new stroller
and that
[x + (2x)] - (p + v +s) > r + d
with
r = random purchases
d = dining out expenses

Just a note - it's hard for me to spend money. If you've read my list you'd know that I have trouble spending more than $200 on anything and that I also get stroller envy at the mall. All. the. time. We rarely spend money, but we always make lists of what we'd buy if we could. Well, somehow, it's worked out that we can and we're doing it. But it's been a hard two weeks - researching, test driving, researching, choosing, etc. And in case you're wondering where I've been, you can find me here. Doing more research.

OOH! Looky you. Congrats on the unexpected windfall. I wish I didn't know how to spend. I'm VERY good at spending.
sometimes, spending is too easy. I've gotten better at saving, thank goodness.
Wow...that's quite a complicated formula!
Love the way things have worked out, though!
I also spend too easily. I wish I were more frugal like you. I do like my version of the sit n' stand.. I think mine's a babytrend? I forget! The only part of mine that I hate is the basket is hard to get to underneath. The one you picked out looks way easier with the elastic sides. Go get it, Mama!
Hey! We're going to be in Disney World at around the same time! Look for me there, I'll be the one with the rented stoller and the kid refusing to go on anything more intense then Dumbo.
