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 229: Groceries, another Lampshade, a Genie, and more
Total spent today: $405.14
Okay, ladies. Are your husbands impossible to shop for? I really want to know.
The Husband’s 73rd birthday is fast approaching. Shopping for this man has got to be one of the most difficult and frustrating tasks I face every year. He never wants anything. He has no hobbies and no vices. [...]
Day 228: Music Lessons
Well, The Son’s youth orchestra is over for the season. While The Son is ready for the break, he’s bummed because it also means a break in his Wednesday trips to Wendy’s. Yup, that’s right. No more weekly Baconators and vanilla Frosties
I’m sure we’ll find opportunities to eat out now and again but [...]
Day 186: Fast Food
Since it’s Wednesday, naturally we stopped at Wendy’s
I took The Son to his cello lesson and then stopped his weekly Wendy’s fix. But instead of heading straight to orchestra rehearsal as we usually do, we drove back home. I’d asked The Husband if he would take care of the orchestra run so I [...]
Day 179: Gas, Gifts, & More
Not to sound like a broken record, but it’s been a long day. And did I mention, I’ve been sick? No, not just sick. I mean sick. Really sick. Ill.
We all got up at 6am to celebrate The Daughter’s 16th birthday. It was so fun to give her gifts she hadn’t expected. It was really [...]
Day 165: Lunch, Dinner, Gas, & Music Lessons
Today is Wednesday which means it must be music day. Well, it was supposed to be music day. We went all the way to The Son’s cello lesson but the teacher never showed up. I’m guessing we got our wires crossed — I’d mentioned that we needed to cancel next week’s lesson; maybe he thought [...]
Day 158: Home Improvements & Dining
Well, today is Wednesday and that means cello lessons, orchestra rehearsal, and dinner at Wendy’s for The Son. Between dinner and rehearsal we stopped at Lowe’s for some home repair supplies.
