Obama for America — $10.00
What is this, my third or fourth donation?  I’ve been meaning to donate again for the last few months but never seem to get around to it.  I know it will never happen, but I threw my $10 into Obama’s pot so I’d have a chance at his latest “dinner with Obama” event.  How cool would that be?

Vitamin Cottage — $5.28
A gallon of Horizon organic 2% milk.  We needed other groceries but The Daughter wanted to do the shopping so I ran out and bought the milk I needed for breakfast.

I’m really digging this “newly licensed teen” thing.  Right now we’re keeping her to errands on this side of town.  Today she ventured to the public library and the grocery store.  I could get used to having someone eager to run errands leaving me at home to do laundry or read or … just not having to leave.
