Took a cab home from work, should have walked home instead (only 15 minutes but I was feeling lazy.)

I threw away my sandwiches which I made myself to try and save money and went to the canteen for a fully cooked lunch today! I'm so bold...what a waste!

Spent $57 on a new kit Bare Escentuals after watching it QVC....as if that was not bad enough I signed up for auto delivery which means they will send a kit with the season's new colors every 4 months at the same price for each shipment.

Went to walmart with DH last night and wound up buying a larger than planned for birthday present for nephew (3 years) and niece (8 years). They are having a birthday party this weekend. I had budgeted $30 total and wound up spending close to $60 !

Very unfrugal weekend here.
Yesterday afternoon, I had lied down in bed and fell asleep. About the same time, my daughter fell asleep on the family room floor. When we both finally got up, none of us felt like cooking so we ordered pizza for dinner.

Today, we went into the city and had lunch at our favorite vegetarian Chinese restaurant.

Today was one of those days when you think what else can go wrong.

1. I went to a dental appointment. I have to admit, this is the first time in a long time. After wearing braces for two years, I have been terrified of anyone who messes with my teeth. Anyways, I need about $1000 worth of work done. $250 of that was covered today.
2. My lovely paid off car pretty much died today. For the third time this year, it leaked in the garage. The only difference is that the other two times, it was a slow leak. The leak today looked like someone poured a bottle of oil on the ground. There was a trail of oil everywhere I went. This is after I got the leak fixed twice supposedly; the last time included an oil change 2 weeks ago. Time for a new car I guess. I can't afford to have unreliable transportation. Whoever said Hondas last forever was wrong. My husband's Ford is in much better shape even though his is the same year with the same mileage.

So goes life.

just my experience with hondas (and my family's too): they go forever but when they die they die hard. i've had poor luck with fords and they had several years with noted transmission issues (of course, i've just bought a ford 2 months ago!). best cars my parents have ever owned were both subarus. those cars were like the energizer bunny...

I ran the heat all afternoon. I had guests and they were cold.

My trip home from my parent's house was pretty frugal since they drove me to the airport in NY (saved $9.50 in train fare). But, then when I got off the train over here, I was so tired that rather than walk the 4/5 of a mile back to my house I spent $7 on a cab ride.

I had an expensive meal last night, $14, when we ate out.

I bought a book for school rather than seeing if it's available at the library.
