Typical Tuesday (breakfast 3.31.09)
Tuesday, March 31, 2009 11:30 No CommentsIt’s a typical Tuesday for me – class this morning then back home to get Will and carry on with our day. We have an appointment for him this afternoon but there should be plenty of time to get home, eat, walk the dog and go without rushing too much. It looks like it is going to be a nice day so if there is time we will of course be heading out for a walk. Once I get through today I can start to turn my attention to getting ready for the trip west. I have to go find my summer clothes — I think they are under the bed in a bin but I am not sure. Last year I didn’t wear a lot of my regular shorts and tee shirts because I was pregnant so I forget what I even have! I have been so tempted to buy new stuff (because the stores have such great displays with nice bright colors) but I figure I should at least take inventory before I go spend money. I have really been trying to cut any unnecessary spending these days, mainly so I can keep up my latte habit and not feel bad about it but also to follow the advise of all the financial advisers out there saying you should have several months of spending saved. We’ll see how I do…I am still saving the $5’s and so far it’s been working. I appreciate the weather updates from my loyal San Diego readers – I have been checking everyday on the Weather Channel as well because it gets me excited to compare there to here!
