Day 152: No Spend Day
We worked hard, and sometimes hardly worked, today on deciding which of my mom’s possessions she’d be taking with her, what my sisters want, what I wanted, and what would be gotten rid of. There were children to entertain and feed. Someone came by to inspect the house. Someone else came by to look at [...]
Day 151: Train Tickets, Bus Fare, Concert Tickets, Water & Food
What a day. A long day. An exciting day. An expensive day.
Train Tickets — $10.50
The kids and I took public transportation to the event of a lifetime — to see Barack Obama speak. Words cannot express the experience.
Concert Tickets — $88.00
The Son and I will be going to see The Capitol Steps in this spring. [...]
Day 150: First-Rate Books & Last-Minute Travel
Oh, my. I can’t even begin to describe the day I’ve had today. Ups and downs and last-minute schedule changes and general running around like a busy mom without enough hours in the day or tools in my belt.
The day started out quietly enough, though early because I took care of The Daughter’s early morning [...]
Day 149: Liquid Gold & Groceries
I only made three purchases today. Two were for liquid gold — or, rather, liquids that cost a fortune.
Safeway Gas — $54.72
Most afternoons The Daughter gets a ride straight from school to practice. Then The Husband picks her up and brings her home. Most of my chauffeuring duties these days involve The Son. But every once [...]
Day 148: Religion, Politics, & Food
Church — $15.00
Weekly offering.
Old Navy — ($12.91)
Returned the two packages of men’s size small briefs. I was talking to the manager about something else and mentioned my frustration about
the fact that Old Navy’s boy’s size 18 pants have an inseam that is 4″ shorter than Gap’s boy’s size 18 pants;
Old Navy doesn’t offer an waist/inseam [...]
Day 147: Food, Food, and More Food
Basketball. Most of the day today was dedicated to basketball. And food.

First I had to “bribe” The Son to come to the game and work concessions/admissions. I promised him lunch.
Good Times — $7.10
Did you know that Good Times uses Coleman all-natural beef? Did you know that they’re [...]
Day 146: A No-Spend Day — or Was It?
Ah. An honest-to-goodness no-spend day. In other words, this wasn’t a delayed-spending no-spend day. I had no pressing errands and no impending expenses that were simply put off for another day.
~ o o O o o ~
But is it really possible to have a no-spend day? A day on which you don’t spend a single penny? I [...]
