Day 115: Christmas Day charity donation
Merry Christmas, everyone!
Last night was the first time since having children that I finished my Santa chores early enough, and with enough energy to spare, to attend the midnight service at church. It was beautiful and worth every minute of lost sleep. I got home at about 1:30am and the roads were clear and the [...]
Day 114: Groceries Galore!
Christmas eve and The Daughter and I ran to the library and then went grocery shopping. We took only one trip to the grocery store but we ended up going through the checkout line a full three times!

As I heard myself say this, it occurred to me how much [...]
Day 111: Christmas is Coming, The Goose is Fat, My Wallet’s Thin
Now, if I were into numerology I’d know the significance of the following fact:
today is day #111 of my Daily $$ Diary and …
I spent $111.11 at Target today — my first shopping stop of the day.
Just how weird is that? I hope it’s not a bad omen or anything. Then again, I hope [...]
