Give Me Back My Five Bucks

I up early this morning so I could work on my blog header. It isn’t exactly the way I wanted it, but I threw it up there yesterday just to get a feel for it. I need to tweak it a bit more, and I’m going to try to incorporate the old graphic somehow. Anyway last night BF and I went to the climbing gym.

And okay, that is cutting it pretty close BUT if you take into consideration I went to Mongolie Grill the night before my surgery ($30) and treated J to our Valentine’s Day dinner ($40), I’m not doing too badly! So for next week I’m going to try REALLY hard to not spend any money on dining out, and only buy the essentials from the grocery store. I’ll probably only need a couple of cans of soup and some fresh fruit. … Continue reading →
