$325.52
That’s the total value of The Son’s unused stack of Barnes & Noble gift cards.
Why so many? Because The Son is notoriously difficult to shop for. One thing he loves to do is read. So, over the years, gift cards for book stores have become the standard fall-back gift for The Son from extended family.

$$: Coyote Sighting Edition
Total Spent Today: $1,954.94
A coyote crossed the road in front of me this morning as it traveled from one section of greenbelt to another. I can’t remember ever being that close to a coyote before and seeing it there, in the middle of an upscale suburban development, was a glorious testament to the will and drive to survive [...]
$$: Panda Express, Groceries, a Book & a Shirt
Ugh. Today did not go as planned. The Son and I had an appointment for a One-to-One lesson at the Apple store. I was really looking forward to it. The Son asked for some time on the computer which I reluctantly gave him because it was a little too early to get packed up. I [...]
Day 264: Returns, T-Shirts, and N2O Cream Charger Cartridges
The Container Store — ($35.31)
I returned four items from my shopping spree last week: First, the plastic lid to storage box on coasters. Come on, let’s be realistic here — it will be a miracle if I can get The Son to actually contain his socks and misc stuff in these containers to begin with; [...]
Day 256: Dining & a Book
Wild Oats — $8.42
I spent nearly 2 hours sitting and waiting for the kids I was supposed to transport from the off-site theater where they’re performing their school play back to school. On the way back to school, we stopped at Wild Oats for snacks (and next-class avoidance). I bought myself an avocado sushi tray [...]
Day 255: Book & Sunglasses
Actually posted on May 16 — catching up with daily expenditures.
REI — $9.22
When I got home late on the 8th, The Husband announced that he wanted a new pair of sunglasses for his birthday. Since we had some many other things going on and since The Husband’s not particular about getting his gifts on his actual [...]
Day 243: Gift Shopping in The Big Apple
Actually posted on May 4 — still traveling but finally in a location where time and internet access are available at the same time.
My mom and I are in The Big Apple (aka New York City) visiting my brother, my sister-in-law, and my niece. They live in Manhattan just blocks away from Ground Zero.
Today we [...]
