Gasoline (and a return)

By Suburban Wife | Published: August 31, 2009
Yup, that’s the only thing I spent money on today, gasoline. I got the car today because I had a One­ToOne les­son at the Apple store.  I’d planned to run a num­ber of errands but an appoint­ment to con­sult on a web design project ran long.  Most of my other plans for the day went out [...]

$$: Another Saturday in Suburbia edition

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

By Suburban Wife | Published: November 18, 2008
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 [...]

Day 233: Returns, Chocolate Milk, the Dentist, and a Strapless Bra

By Suburban Wife | Published: April 21, 2008
Total Spent Today: $ 44.95 Net Spent Today: ($ 12.50) Den­tist — $0.00 I started the day with an early appoint­ment at the dentist’s to have my teeth cleaned.  Sleep­ing with my CPAP mask tends to make the cal­cium buildup on my teeth hap­pen faster so this is a 4-month appoint­ment instead of a 6-month.  That means that under [...]

Day 208: Returns, Towels, and Lavage

By Suburban Wife | Published: March 27, 2008
Lavage ses­sion — $70.00 It’s expen­sive.  It’s painful.  But the effect it’s hav­ing on my IBS is both unde­ni­able and fab­u­lous.  This is the longest stretch of symp­tom relief I’ve had in about a decade. Old Navy — ($40.87) I returned the base­ball jer­sey ($3.49) and the hooded jacket ($34.50) that the son rejected the other day. T.J. Maxx [...]
