$$: Another Saturday in Suburbia edition
Total Spent Today: $70.82
Qwest — $51.76
This particular bill is a very mild point of contention between me and The Husband. I say we should consider dropping our land line altogether or, at the very least, our long distance service through Qwest. He’s not interested in either option. *sigh*
Safeway — $19.44
The Daughter used her credit card to fill up [...]
$$: 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 [...]
Day 233: Returns, Chocolate Milk, the Dentist, and a Strapless Bra
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 [...]
Day 208: Returns, Towels, and Lavage
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 [...]
Day 189: Shopping Frenzy
Self-Defense Class — $37.00
The Daughter participated in a self-defense class today. We weren’t sure what to expect but the class turned out to be excellent! Very empowering and instructive. The class was filled with girls from The Daughter’s school including most of the girls from her class — so it was a bonding experience too.
While [...]
Day 138: Undies and Outers, Speech and Baseball
The Son announced the other day that he needed new underwear. Well, knock me down with a feather. This is a kid who will do just about anything to avoid having to be involved, even remotely, with new clothing and/or shopping of any kind.
His acknowledgement of needing new underwear was the surprise; the need, however, [...]
Day 126: Gas, Flannel PJs, Mouse Traps, and Ground Beef
My mom’s leaving tomorrow and today was the first day in her visit that we didn’t have any appointments or activities to attend — or drive the kids to chauffeur. We spent the whole morning putzing around the house, hanging pictures, dusting, and looking at how cool my YNAB budget* is. Then people got hungry [...]
