Friday, I spent too much money!

     Well all the toilet paper and cleaning supplies at Costco cost $130.00 but should last through Christmas.  We wipe a lot of bums everyday with and average of 50 students a day coming through that place.  We spent $100.00 on Halloween candy.  I went to Moscow last night and spent the night with the youngest daughter.  We went to Wingers for ribs, yum!  We split a rack and still brought home over 1/2.  I took her grocery shopping, as I have not done that since hubby did this the first of Sept.  I spent $130.00 about $30.00 was for Thanksgiving stock up.  They have a Winco and it is so much cheaper than our stores here.  I also purchased her a new wool coat at Old Navy.  It is very warm where we live, but up the hill it averages about 20 degrees a day in the winter.  I could not beleive how cold it was.  We never really even have heavy coats here unless we are going out to ski.  I actually wear heavy Swedish Sweaters most of the winter.  Went for over ten years without a winter coat.  I also purchased 4 new sweat outfits for teaching for daughter and I.  They were expensive, but we sweat and wash these every day.  I would rather have an outfit last 2 years of washing rather that one month.  So we do buy high quality teaching clothes.  I have not had any new ones for two years. Total Old Navy $120.00 (earned $50.00 in christmas $ purchases) Sports Shop $385.00.

     See what happens when Kim starts getting ahead?  I spend money.  Not to justify this but it has been a long time!  Please don't total all I spent I can't take it!  Although I will tell you I paid cash for everything.  How nice.  Two years ago I would have charged all but the groceries.  See how I have changed.  Just the fact that I had the money to pay cash is a miracle to me.
    
     I just realized that both cars will have to have gas tonight!  That will be at least $100.00.  Darn.  But I have several people picking up today so I will be fine.  Plus I have so much work to do.

     Out My Window:  The question is?  Will we get any trimming done this weekend?  I think I am avoiding it.  Can you imagine that?  Only 35 shrubs some the size of a small car that need to be cut down to knee level.  Why should I avoid that?

     Well I need to put away my groceries, and I have several customers that are due in today.  Also need to go to the Jr. High and get a printing order in, then go teach a dance class.  Oh don't forget the sewing.  Better get my butt in gear.  Oh I also had my nails done yesterday!  Have you ever listened to public radio?  I like it, but some times the nuts they have on there.  I listened to it on the way up the hill yesterday.  Did you know there is a man that has it on good authority that soy based products in our diets over the last 30 years, have caused men to be non-masculine?  I am a dance teacher, don't even get me started.  I get young men as young as three and raise them into the dance world.  Many have gone on professionally, and none of them was made non-masculine by diet, nor can a three year old make a choice!  I about stopped the truck to throw up.  Okay, done with my rant!

Have a Great and Productive Day!
