Day 83: Shampoo & Shepherd’s Pie

The Daughter and I made a library run this afternoon -- we both had a stack of DVD's on hold and I had several Personal Finance books waiting as well.  Oh, and The Son had a Raymond Chandler book on hold.

While we were at the library, I remembered that yesterday's shower had been one of frustration and fear that I wouldn't be able to shake enough shampoo out of the bottle to properly wash my finally-starting-to-grow-out-but-still-way-too-short hair.  So we dashed across the street to Ulta for a bottle of shampoo ($13.93).

Which reminds me -- I hate shopping in Ulta.  I really need find another source for my Matrix Biolage shampoo.  I hate Ulta because they put the shampoo in the very back so I have to walk past all of the overpoweringly stinky, asthma-inducing perfume-y smells just to pick up a bottle of shampoo.  Did I see someone buy Biolage at Target the other day?  I'm going to have to check that out.

And before leaving for the library, the daughter and I had decided that the best way to use the entire Pyrex casserole dish of left-over mashed potatoes (brought home from yesterday's Thanksgiving feast) was to make a Shepherd's Pie.  So after the library and Ulta, we popped into Whole Foods for about 1.75 lbs of ground turkey thigh ($7.67).  That, plus the left-over candied yams, rutabagas, brussel sprouts, and pie made a wonderful dinner. :-)

Over dinner we looked at Time's What The World Eats photo essay as mentioned by Eric @ A Penny Closer (thanks, Eric, for that fascinating link).  I suggested that as a family we try to keep a food diary for just one week.  No one else was interested.  I think I'll keep working on them -- I think it would be a fun and fascinating exercise.  Enlightening as well.

Not the "no spend" day I'd been hoping for but not too bad either -- especially considering it was Black Friday.
