Lunch anyone? Or Target? Anything?

This is one of those days. When you get everything done that you need to get done before noon and the rest of the day is spent taking repeated trips to the office kitchen for more and more cups of green tea. Actually, green & white fusion tea, to be exact. It's not as good as I thought it would be. Perhaps in a little while I will go on an "extended lunch" break and buy some green tea. And maybe some chamomile. Mmm...chamomile. But that might put me to sleep. Oh, and toothpaste. I need to go buy some toothpaste. Candles too. Yeah, candles so our apartment can continue to smell good... Maybe some razor blades. You can never have too many fresh, sharp razor blades in stock. Gillette Mach3. Best. Razor. Ever.

...

How am I doing in my quest to curb my Wasting All My Money Going Out To Eat and Making Star*ucks Runs addiction? Hmm..let's do a little check-in:

  • Saturday, April 1: Lunch w/ Scott = $15.00 (Stir-Fry Cafe. Oh my God. So good.)
  • Sunday, April 2: Starbucks = $7.92 (I heart soy white mochas. So much it hurts.)
  • Monday, April 3: Lunch w/ Ben = $8.00
  • Monday, April 3: Dinner w/ Scott = $19.12

Ok, so yesterday was sort of a step back. But, to be fair, Scott wasn't feeling well so I went and got dinner for the both of us on the way home from work. Mandarin House. Mmmmm... They love me there. And I love them.

So, let's see. If my goal is to spend only $100 a month on going out to eat, then, hmmm... 26 days left in the month and I've already gone through 50% of my monthly budget... I'm screwed! Maybe I can limit myself to $200 this month and then make a more gradual cut-back. Yes, perhaps that is more realistic. ...Or $250?? Waaaaaahh!!!! Now I know how heroin addicts feel!!

Also: How the hell do they know these things??!!



You Are Likely a Third Born

At your darkest moments, you feel vulnerable.
At work and school, you do best when you're comparing things.
When you love someone, you tend to like to please them.

In friendship, you are loyal to one person.
Your ideal careers are: sales, police officer, newspaper reporter, inventor, poet, and animal trainer.
You will leave your mark on the world with inventions, poetry, and inspiration.

  1. Apparently for me, I'm an only child. Wishful thinking maybe? He he he. Maybe first borns tend to still think of ourselves as only children.

  3. Is that the Stash green and white fusion? I've been drinking that, too. It's not great, but it doesn't need milk/sugar, so it's what I've been having at work.

  5. It was $1.99 a box at Trader Joe's. Seemed like a good price for Stash, so I got some.

    Tea Twin powers, activate!

  6. $100 a MONTh for food! That is NUTS! I give myself like $100 a week for food. And that's a budget! Maybe I just love food too much...

  7. Yes, I'm realizing now just how ridiculous that goal was... Considering I'm pretty sure I've broken my limit already just this first week. *sigh* Oh well.
