A Small Donation

By Suburban Wife | Published: December 18, 2009
Dona­tion — $5.00 Gee.  I got awfully close to hav­ing a sec­ond no-spend day this week.  But no such luck.  The Hus­band and I, nei­ther one of us in the mood to leave the house, ven­tured out into the cold dark­ness to watch The Daugh­ter per­form a small part is a small Christ­mas play at the school [...]

$$: a cappella

By Suburban Wife | Published: December 13, 2008
Church — $20.00 The Son and I attended an annual Hol­i­day con­cert.  It was fab­u­lous.  Ter­rific.  I’d have given up any two skills/talents if I’d been born with a voice.  I have a range of two notes — both of them bad.  Really, I sound like a sick cow.  But I do love vocal music. The check was [...]

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 mixed [...]

$$: GE Stock, Ballet Tickets, & Cell Phone

By Suburban Wife | Published: October 22, 2008
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 is [...]
