1. Peeps and foot rubs by my boyfriend.
Actually, I use the Peeps to bribe him into giving me foot rubs. I was never so thrilled as when they started having Peeps for other holidays, it means I get foot rubs at times other than Easter.

18. The bookshop at the library - 25 cent magazines.
I go there when I finish a work deadline. Buy 20 magazines (beauty, decorating, etc.) for $5 and become a couch potato for at least 2 days.
