College Update

By Suburban Wife | Published: January 26, 2010
The Daugh­ter has now heard from 8 of the 12 col­leges to which she applied.  Another accep­tance and another schol­ar­ship offer arrived this past Sat­ur­day.  Her accep­tance rate is still at 100% but this par­tic­u­lar school isn’t in the run­ning: the approx­i­mate annual cost is $40,000 and the schol­ar­ship offer was $12,500.  That doesn’t bring [...]

$$: Tunes & Travel

By Suburban Wife | Published: January 25, 2010
iTunes — $5.21 It’s been absolutely for­ever since I’ve pur­chased any new music — partly because I had no iTunes credit and that’s usu­ally the only cir­cum­stance under which I indulge myself.  How­ever, with the receipt of a cou­ple of gift cards over the hol­i­days, my store account is flush and today I went on a lit­tle [...]

$$: School Lunches, Milk, & Vitamins

By Suburban Wife | Published: January 19, 2010
School Lunches — $41.10 Three weeks’ worth of hot (mostly) organic school lunches for The Son.  Well, three weeks’ worth of his allot­ted two meals per week, that is.  That includes 6 meals plus 6 extra por­tions of entree, veg­gie, and fruit plus fruit juice. ********** The Son skipped his bas­ket­ball games today and instead came home right after [...]
