Lettuce

I peeled a lot of greens out of my purse today. But this did include a family gift and household staples.
Special issue, fabulous retro cover.
$ MONEY OUT OF POCKET
  • CVS, Nutri-Grain bars for Punch, 2 small valentine treats on sale for her and her talent show partner, $5.43.
  • Parking meter, 50 cents.
  • Joyist, healthy breakfast bowl with mashed root veg, roasted tomatoes, one egg, crispy kale, etc., $10.
  • Print of winter in Maine painting by my talented brother-in-law, David Hurley, and I'm sure he undercharged us, $40.
  • CVS again, went for 2 Rxs and got staples, including 3 bags lavender bath salts, Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day honeysuckle liquid hand soap, dried figs, Raisin Bran and nuts, because I had a coupon for $10 off purchase of $60 or more. [Did include indulgence: Full-color keepsake issue of LIFE Magazine devoted to Mary Poppins "the Magic, the Adventure, the Love," cover price sky-high $13.99.] $73.08.
  • Drink and dinner out with Elaine at Applebee's; she insisted on using her $25 gift card. So we each spent $23.
  • ShopRite, organic milk and $25 gift card [very late Christmas gift] for goddaughter visiting from Florida. $29.50.
TOTAL: $181.51.

RUNNING TOTAL FOR THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY: $1764.22, SO $117.61 DAILY FOR THE 15 DAYS OF FEBRUARY, SO FAR. [THAT $500 SATURDAY....SIGH.] I DO STILL HAVE TIME TO BRING DAILY AVERAGE DOWN FOR THE MONTH. BUT DAN AND I GOING INTO NYC OVERNIGHT TOMORROW FOR 28th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY.

    1. Good morning, Liz. It's so nice to get up and see that someone read my blog early in the morning! Thank you for the anniversary wishes. LOL, when Dan and I were in Hawaii for our honeymoon, I said, "We'll probably come back in maybe 10 years, right?" and...then came life.....but who knows, we could start traveling more again.....I'm looking forward to NYC. He is kind and creative, you are right. Love, Alice
