$$: Church, Dining, Groceries, Cosmetics, & Swimming
Church -- $50.00
It's been weeks since I've made an offering at church -- either because I didn't attend (after my surgery) or because I didn't have a check with me. Today I wrote an extra large offering check to make up for all of those skipped weeks.
Whole Foods -- $31.67
The kids are definitely preferring Whole Foods to Einstein's Bagels these days as their after-church-sustenance stop. We bought:
Vitamin Cottage -- $19.94
Once I got home and started thinking about what I was really going to fix for dinner, I realized that I was missing several ingredients for tonight's menu of meat loaf, broccoli, and twice-baked potatoes. Then I made the mistake of calling The Husband at work and discussing dinner with him and the menu got changed from twice-baked potatoes for dinner to twice-baked potatoes to be consumed on some future date (say, for lunches next week) and pan-fried fingerling potatoes for dinner tonight. I also decided to add a delectable and irresistible Caramel Apple Cake for dessert.
So I needed:
Swim Team -- $485.00
The Daughter recently joined a competitive swim team. This charge covers the $150 fee to the national swim association (an annual fee), the $55 annual team registration fee, and this month's and next month's pool fees. Swimming is not an inexpensive sport. I sent in all of the paperwork about two weeks ago but I only just received confirmation from the team that the charge had been sent through.
A few days ago The Daughter signed up for her first meet. It only just occurred to me that she doesn't have a team suit yet and apparently it hadn't occurred to her either. I imagine you'll be seeing that expense listed in my daily $$ postings before too long.
