spending habits

[derien]

I just 'balanced' my checkbook (a joke, because I write down whatever the bank has and subtract it down and still my answer doesn't match up with theirs, and how can that be?? but anyway...) and I noticed that we went out to Norm's five times during the month, Shere Punjab in Brunswick once, and India Palace here in Portland once. And I had lunch at the airport once. That seems like a lot of going out. Well, at least to Norm's. I think we should probably try to shift some of those Norm's visits down to India Palace. :)

I also feel better about lunch at the airport. It's not cheap by any means, but it's about what I spend on myself for dinner at Norm's. Yeah - for a burger and steamed vegetables that's NOT good, but it was a lunch that left me feeling quite satisfied and happy - I should really learn how to cook that.

The best thing about my checkbook - the bonus I got at the beginning of the month means that I could lose my job tomorrow and live this entire month over again exactly the same and still not be out of money. Of course if I lost my job I would not go out to Norm's five times.

Okay, off to pay the rent and pick up my new monitor - yay! :)

I think India Palace isn't really all that expensive, for eating out, but Shere Punjab does seem to stretch the old wallet a bit.

We're not too vituous at all! Here it is the first day of the month and I just bemoaned eating out too much, but Eor wants his steak and cheese and I can deny my cutie nothing - I do spoil him far too much. I even walk out and fetch it. ;)
