February is one of my favorite months. Not because of Valentine's Day or because I get to celebrate birthdays (sorry family & friends with Feb. birthdays). I enjoy February because that's when I receive my tax refund from Uncle Sam.
The sensible person in me thinks I should put the money towards paying off those pesky student loans or towards my car payment. The self loving person in me thinks I should spend a little of the money buying something nice for myself. A couple years ago, it was a new pair of running shoes that, at the time, were oh so fancy. The plan worked last year and kept me from feeling guilty so I figured I'd try it out again. So I paid of some debt and bought myself a gift. What did I splurge on this year you ask? An alternator.
What is the world coming to when you take your car in for a standard oil change and tire rotation and come home with an alternator? Sad I tell you. It looks like my gift to myself is one of sustainability this year. The gift of being able to continue doing what I'm doing. No fun new shoes or the latest tech gadget. Just an alternator. I can't even show it off to my friends. I'm just glad Uncle Sam was there to cushion the blow.

i just hope we get a refund this year and ryan's taxes didn't suck it dry!
technically you could show your alternator to your friends, but speaking from the friends perspective, I'd rather not.
