$$: Tunes & Travel

By Suburban Wife | Published: January 25, 2010
iTunes — $5.21 It’s been absolutely for­ever since I’ve pur­chased any new music — partly because I had no iTunes credit and that’s usu­ally the only cir­cum­stance under which I indulge myself.  How­ever, with the receipt of a cou­ple of gift cards over the hol­i­days, my store account is flush and today I went on a lit­tle [...]

Endocri­nol­o­gist — $40.00 This after­noon I accom­pa­nied The Daugh­ter to her appoint­ment for a thy­roid check-up.  Some­times the thought that she’ll be on her own in 6 months strikes fear into my heart — once again she went to the appoint­ment with­out her wal­let (no credit card for the co-pay) and I still carry her insur­ance [...]
