1. I am spending cents somewhere
2. I am also earning cents somewhere
3. College
4. My dad
See expanded version of these thoughts below:
1. While I am not debiting money at Target, The Sacramento Coop, or my favorite drive through coffee shop (harder than I imagined to pass without stopping) I am still using the heater in my house (there has been a series of crazy rain storms in Nor Cal), our semi-slow internet, netflix and 13 channel "cable." I guess these are what I would consider our family's necessities and what I am NOT spending money on are extra creature comforts.
2. The cents I am earning are small in amount but they are interest on the money I am NOT spending in the bank.
3. This project reminds me of when i was in college and I REALLY had to go weeks without spending money because I did not have any! Reminds me of how lucky I am now and how far I've come.
4. The last time I saw my dad he told me that every night he unplugs everything in his house except for his alarm clock. He has his energy bill dwindled down to single digits. Kind of thought-provoking. I actually have been unplugging my blowdryer and straightener directly after using after hearing this cool news.
At school when we have projects I ask students to to answer the question: "What have you learned?":
What I have learned that is the most important is that I doesn't take much to entertain a 10 month old. All he wants/needs is me (and maybe some puppy and grandma interactions) and I am so happy that I have been able to give that to him this week.
Agenda for today:
Finish Home Office (two trash bags went to the curb today!)
Tea Party in Elk Grove (bringin my own tea and G-free snacks)
Evening appetizers with gal friends
(I was all prepped to go to my first La Leche League Meeting today ( I know Bear is 10 months already!) But then I realized it was last Thursday! Bummer. Will make it to a meeting before he is 1!)
