Post-book rewards

ksmithQuestion 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.

Big projects for me (IT geek) usually involve a major state of sleep deprivation. So first is sleep, at least 8 hours, then I play with the cats until we're tired and we take a nap :)
I often get myself a treat too, single malt of course, is my favorite treat.
Whatever you decide, here's hoping you enjoy it!
