a financial voyeur’s dream come true: all the intimate details of how, where, and why I spend money

$$: Food, Tuition, and Cell Phones

Total Spent Today: $3,146.52

I enjoyed a nice quiet morning.  The Son and I both slept in and then watched disc 6 of X-Files, Season 4 (ah, the joys of homeschooling).  I did laundry, did some work, and some paperwork.  The Son cleaned the kitchen.
This afternoon The Husband came home and together he and I drove into town for [...]

$$: Groceries, an Odwalla, & “Harvey”

The painter showed up with her crew at 7:30 this morning.  Must have been 7 or 8 guys.  We confirmed the colors and where they would all go.  Then she took off, they got to work, and I was stuck home all day answering little questions here and there and basically just holding down the [...]

$$: Groceries, Meds, Tests, & Pizza

I’m still not driving though I feel myself improving by leaps and bounds and the Vicodin-induced fog is definitely lifting (my last pill-popping session was the 1/2 a Vicodin I took on Saturday night).  And when I’m not driving, I’m generally not spending.  Interesting correlation, that.
The Husband came back from the office to convey The [...]

Day 258: Activities

Baseball Coach — $67.00
This check covers two baseball-related activities.  First is The Son’s share of a tournament fee.  I can’t remember exactly what the date of the tournament is but it should be a little more fun than the last one because they don’t allow any “ringer” tournament-only teams to come in a make themselves [...]

Day 221: Eye Exams, Eye Glasses, School Fees, Dining, and Groceries

Ugh.  I had a busy, expensive day today.
School Fees — $75.00
The Son and I finally got around to driving up to the main campus of the county-supported homeschool co-op program that he’ll be attending next year.  We had to turn in his registration materials, his class requests for next year, and some fees.  The breakdown of [...]

Day 220: Gas, CPAP Supplies, Theater Ticket, and Dining

Apria Healthcare — $98.49
I had to pay the full price of my recent order of CPAP equipment(new mask, hose, and filters) because we haven’t satisfied our deductible yet.  Within the space of a few days we received two invoices from Apria — the first for $24.24.  The second invoice was for $97.32.  Both invoices itemized exactly the same items.  When I [...]
