Spoiled Bint Seeks Ass-kicking

Or, Advice sought from all-knowing flist

( I like Farscape. Shocker, I know. )

Why is this relevant?

( Shore Leave + Chicago Stargate con = $$$ )

( Farscape fans are dirty rotten pushers )

I did my best to squash any thoughts of regret, though. I’d had my two cons. I was done. The household budget had been strained enough for my whims.

Then…then came the last couple of weeks. The husband started working again full-time (Angels sang! Rainbows sparkled! A chorus of Hallelujahs abounded!), and we had hope again for being financially solvent. And then we got a letter and check from a family member who was sharing the wealth. A big check. A Significant Amount of Moolah check.

And a little, quiet voice of (burbank. *sigh*) instantly turned into a tantrum wail of "I WANNA GO TO THE FARSCAPE PARTY IN BURBANK!".

I am so frelling torn.

( I'm not easy, but I'm certainly cheap. OK, maybe I am easy. )

( Picture John Crichton on one shoulder and Scorpius on the other )

I need help (well, that’s a constant and a given). I need advice. What do you think, flist: do I sigh regretfully and sock the money away, being nobly practical about it all, or do I give flight to my fangirl dreams and blow a lot of money on my sparkly Farscape party?

( Da poll! Da poll! )

I know how absolutely ridiculous this is, believe me. Of all the First World problems to have, this is small and petty and stupid to even consider. But…but…it is what it is: something about which I am well and truly torn.

ETA: OK, there's SUPPOSED to be a poll. There's a poll code and everything. WTF, poll?

ETA2: OK, so the husband is pointing out that I could get a new computer for the money. DAMMIT. I didn't need the water to be muddier...
