Day 200: Groceries
The Daughter invited some classmates over for a movie/pizza/sleepover. They arrived starving and fell on the small amount of lasagna leftovers like a plague of locusts. At the same time, they called Dominos and ordered their 5 for $5 deal. The Husband went to pick up the pizzas (he never orders for delivery) and I made a quick [...]
Day 199: More Electronics
Why is nothing ever simple? And why are there times in my life when I seem to leak money from every pore?
The problem with being a gadget-hound is that new gadgets open the wallet floodgates. It’s never a simple matter of buying a new gadget. No. There are always new wires, new cables, new adapters, [...]
Day 198: Groceries, Cables, & Cash
Shall I start out this post by telling you what I didn’t spend money on today? A computer monitor. Yup, I didn’t buy one today. But I’ll probably have to buy one tomorrow. During the process of setting up my new Apple Time Capsule-driven wireless network, networked printer, and remote 1TB hard-drive (how cool is [...]

My mom and I visited the Apple store today. Man, that was an expensive outing! ;-)
The reason for the visit — my mom decided that she wouldn’t have room for her 2-yo PC (tower, keyboard, and 15″ LCD monitor) now that she’s moving from her own house into a bedroom in my sister’s house. She’s [...]
Day 192: Groceries
I got home late last night to bare cupboards. I definitely felt like Old Mother Hubbard especially when I had to scrape together a sack lunch for The Daughter and The Son this morning and had the prospect of two hungry teenaged boys to provide for.
My mom and I spent a great deal of time today [...]
Day 191: Traveling Expenses, Part 2
The house closing went rather smoothly this morning. What a relief! We ran into the buyer’s at the title company and my mom and the new owners had one more chance to wish each other the best of luck and promise to keep in touch. I’m glad she found buyers who will love the house [...]
