$$: Dec 9 — Recycling on the Cheap
Total Spent Today: $84.48
The Home Depot — $47.94
Our “waste management” company recently announced that they were greatly expanding the list of recyclable materials they’d collect. This, combined with the fact that they went “single stream” a while ago and the fact that they pick up recyclables only every other week means that our old recycling tub just [...]
$$: Another Saturday in Suburbia edition
Total Spent Today: $70.82
Qwest — $51.76
This particular bill is a very mild point of contention between me and The Husband. I say we should consider dropping our land line altogether or, at the very least, our long distance service through Qwest. He’s not interested in either option. *sigh*
Safeway — $19.44
The Daughter used her credit card to fill up [...]
$$: Coyote Sighting Edition
Total Spent Today: $1,954.94
A coyote crossed the road in front of me this morning as it traveled from one section of greenbelt to another. I can’t remember ever being that close to a coyote before and seeing it there, in the middle of an upscale suburban development, was a glorious testament to the will and drive to survive [...]
$$: Just Another Sunday in the ‘Burbs
I’m still feeling like dog barf so I sent the kids to church by themselves this morning. There really are great advantages to having a child with a driver’s license.
When they got back, The Son elected to stay home to play on the computer and complete some chores (including cleaning the kids’ toilet and his [...]
$$: Groceries
Yeah, I know. I went shopping yesterday. So sue me. I needed a few more things for The Daughter’s party and some Liquid Plumber ’cause the tub/shower is draining slowly.
Oh, as an aside — The Husband went shopping with me again today saying something getting another shrimp & rice scampi dinner. I asked if he realized that [...]
$$: More Groceries
Technically, I didn’t spend any money today. After all, I was left without transportation again all day. The Daughter, however, did spend money. She stopped at the grocery store and charged her purchases to her credit card and, naturally, she bought a couple of things I would not have purchased nor approved. ‘Gonna have to have another [...]
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; [...]
