Total Spent Today: $70.82

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 [...]
