I am incredibly challenged by lack of will power. I have the uncanny ability to rationalize everything in my head so the most outrageous seems normal. Guess I have to work on that.

In my challenge to spend only $50 on eating out this month I am doing HORRIBLY! Today I got a fancy coffee and muffin to the tune of $4.35. That leaves me with $38.68 for the 27 days! How am I going to manage that? That comes out to $1.43 a day. That will cover a regular coffee here at work each day but nothing else. No taking the family out to eat, no special treats, nothing I better start stocking up on treats for my desk at work. Well, I am calling this a challenge and it is proving to be just that!

Good news is I went to the mall yesterday looking for some red shoes and didn't find any that I liked. I went to about 10 stores and couldn't find anything. I want them to wear with a black and white dress to a wedding but it won't be the end of the world if I can't find them.

Still searching for a gift idea for my 13 yr old niece. She does want money which I can do but like to purchase something. I want to get that out of the way so I can knock another thing off my to-do list.

DD had Disco Day at school and looked adorable! She wasn't really disco-y but she did look like a hippie! Denim jeans and matching jacket with big embrodered flowers, tie dye shirt, head band. I flat ironed her hair. She looked like the lead singer of the DOORS! Maybe I will post a picture for a short time as I don't like to leave pictures of my kids hanging out over the internet but again I was pleased with my costume!!
