Savings
I figured out my saving today!
Last month we spent $587.56 eating out and $272.76 on groceries. This month I spent $587.56 on groceries. I calculated it as a savings of $323.88. WOW! The last month eating out total only counts for debit card purchases, so it could be a larger savings. I know we used cash sometimes. That is amazing to me!
I also caved today. Some people...no names mentioned...we tempting me to go out to eat after church today. We ended up inviting them over for sandwiches. It was great fun! I am glad that B-Rock held his ground and refused to let me go out! Just a few more days and it's all over. I am ending this with a lunch meeting at the Ramada Inn on Wednesday. I'm glad the meeting wasn't scheduled for an earlier date.
Jaimie and I are talking about continuing the blog, so stick around for more recipies and things!

Long Overdue...Again
It has been a good week since B-Rock got home. We behaved, but I didn't have a lot of things around the house, so we ate a lot of leftovers and throw togethers. It was good though. B-Rockhas been coming home for lunch this week, because he has been waking up late for work. Its been nice seeing him during the day.
The Bear is the big cheater in the family. She went to McD with her dear friend Gjeeh. I can't blame her! It's not really cheating though, because Gjeeh paid.
With only a few days left, I am looking forward to not having to remind myself not to eat out. I am happy that I able to go this long and hope that I can continue. I will admit that I haven't lost any weight, but I know that I have saved money. This is the first time that I have been able to pay all my bills for the month within the first two weeks. It's nice and stress free! Although, the Bonnie (my car) is sick and needs some major repairs, so there goes the money we saved. We did talk about getting a new car, but we are going to try to make her work through the next year! She's a trooper and has been a GREAT car!
