$$: Groceries, an Odwalla, & “Harvey”
The painter showed up with her crew at 7:30 this morning. Must have been 7 or 8 guys. We confirmed the colors and where they would all go. Then she took off, they got to work, and I was stuck home all day answering little questions here and there and basically just holding down the [...]
$$: Allowance, Fuel, Dining, & Hot Date!
A busy, busy day with but with nothing more than the regular, expected expenditures of a normal day.
Had an appointment with a roofer, logged a couple of volunteer hours at The Son’s homeschool co-op program, took The Son to a corn-maze outing with some friends, and attended the ballet with The Son. Lots of driving [...]
$$: Health & Clothing
Computer Lesson — $0.00
Another fabulously productive One-to-One computer lesson on my iMac at the Apple store. The $79 (usually $99 but as a homeschooler I get their educator’s discount) I spent on that year of One-to-One instruction is unquestionably one of the best values and wisest purchases I’ve ever made.
Panda Express — $0.00
For a [...]
$$: GE Stock, Ballet Tickets, & Cell Phone
Ballet — $104.15
Two tickets for The Son and I to go see a traditional production of Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake. The Son mentioned an interest in seeing this particular ballet about two months ago but I put off buying tickets because I was unsure of how my thyroidectomy was going to pan out.
Now that the surgery [...]
Suze Orman on Oprah Today: Kids & Money
Let me begin by saying that I know very little about Suze Orman. I’m not familiar with her overall fiscal philosophy, her background, etc. In fact, before today, everything I knew about Suze Orman I learned in a recent SNL skit.
So I watched today’s show with no preconceived notions.
In general, I agreed with most of [...]
$$: Food & Phone
The Husband came home early for a nap and I had a hankering for some yummy baked chicken so I made a last-minute grocery run.
Whole Foods — $22.31
3 whole chicken legs — $4.80
1 boneless skin-on whole chicken breast — $7.40
1 split chicken breast (bone-in, skin-on) — $4.09
one bunch scallions — $1.99
3.26# (4 med) russet potatoes [...]
$$: Doctor & Panda Express (plus unreported expenses)
Doctor co-pay — $50.00
Today’s activities and expenses centered around The Son’s third visit to the pediatric orthopedist to check on the status of his broken left clavicle. Once again, they took x-rays and did a physical exam.
The good news is that The Son is finally rid of that hated sling. He’s not supposed to pick [...]
