Post-book rewards

[ksmith]

Question for the house--how do you reward yourself after you've completed a book/major work? If you're not a writer, any major work-related project would count.

A friend on another list asked how I planned to reward myself for wrapping up this puppy. Book-related rewards didn't count--the joy of having finished it, of seeing it on the shelves, etc. It had to be a non-book itself related reward.

I'm guessing that the vacuum cleaner I bought yesterday doesn't count.

I do have a history of end-of-book rewards to self. Sometimes it's jewelry--a Laurie Edison piece, usually. Sometimes, it's a new computer, and while I do see a MacBook in my future, I don't want to get it while I still have warranty time on the iBook.

I am actually considering upgrading the iBook RAM and installing an Airport card so I can use wireless internet when I travel. I could even install wireless in my house, but that's still at the *let's think about it* stage.

Hmmmm...I very, very rarely watch TV, and that includes DVDs I own. So for finishing my YA fantasy The Dark Horse, I watched several seasons' worth of Stargate SG-1 over the course of a week. For finishing The City Beyond Play I spent two days going through Firefly.

I also ate a lot of ice cream while doing this.
