Can You Help? Calling All Triathletes!

Okay, I have a gift card for one of the local bike shops that I got for my birthday.

I'm trying to decide if I should upgrade one of the following:

1) New bike shoes - mine are cheapos and I think they're not narrow enough. What kind?
2) Saddle - I don't know that these make a world of difference and am actually okay with what I have now. Probably because I don't know anything about saddles.

Or, should I buy one of the following:

1) Wetsuit - mine it really cheap and is NOT by any means the real deal. I actually am a little embarrassed to even wear it. If so, what kind and do I go with legs and arms or sleeveless?
2) Water bottle holder for underneath my saddle? (sorry, I don't know the technical term for this)
3) Aero Bars - I have no idea what kind but I kind of wanted them last year. If this, what kind?

I'm kind of teetering towards the aero bars but I kind of need a wetsuit and shoes too....help!

0 for 2

I had plans today and yesterday. Plans to go to the gym and get in a good workout. However, I am now 0 for 2 for the week. Yesterday, I wasn't feeling real great and came home and slept for close to two hours. Today, I even got up at 5 and was at work by 6:30 so I could leave early. I thought I'd beat the snow and the traffic that way. Well, I was wrong. I hit the snow and the traffic. My normal 25 minute drive, took me well over an hour today. So, I'm feeling sluggish and my pants feel tight today. Hopefully, tomorrow will be the day!
