A single gal’s night out on the town

Well, I went grocery shopping today and spent $35, which is approximately what I spent the last time I went shopping. A few things made this week a little more expensive than usual – I bought a huge box of Red Rose tea ($5) and a block of cheese ($7, regular was $11.59).

Saturday night out with my friend was a lot of fun. I didn’t feel as old or as out of touch with the “bar scene” as I thought I would. I even recognized most of the music – albeit, they were now all remixed to death. Can’t people come up with original music nowadays? I had 4 drinks and my share of cab fare was $15.25. It was an expensive evening by my standards (about $35), but I know that’s not bad. Plus, I never EVER go out, so I figured it was okay.

The best part of the night? My friend went to the washroom, so I was sitting alone at our table … and a 20 year old guy came over, sat down across from me, and tried to pick me up! I told him I was too old for him, and it turns out he thought I was around 19. So that made this quarter-century gal feel pretty good. :)

I’m going out again this Friday night with some of the people from the part-time job, and then after that, I don’t think I’ll do another bar night until the New Year. It’s just too expensive to do when you’re unemployed.
