I have to start taking notes throughout the day so I remember everything when I sit down to blog. Here are my musings from the past few days:

Finally ate lunch at work. I didn't have time to eat breakfast at home, and forgot to pack my lunch, so I was absolutely starving. Ended up getting lunch at work. Bad news: Had sushi, which is expensive. Good news: Paid the $10.67 in cash. Moral of the story: pack my lunch the night before and leave a packet of oatmeal at work.

Got rid of Onstar. It came free for the first year we bought our GM car. After the first year, DH insisted on keeping it, even though we both have cell phones, AAA, etc. Cost about $14/month ever since. They switched from analog to digital last year, and we needed to have the dealer install a part. Things were so crazy last time we went to the dealer that we forgot to have him do it. Our subscription was automatically cancelled 12/31. Sin of omission, here, because I'm not going to say anything to hubby.

I need to cancel Netflix. I've had a DVD outstanding for 6 months (no lie). Can't find it anywhere in the house. DH looked online and the penalty is a $20 charge, so I'm going to eat it and cancel my membership. I'm tacking this on my list of 2007 financial issues, though, since it's really a holdover from that!

I also need to call my water company. We're signed up for budget billing and pay $27/month. (Water's cheap in NJ). I have accrued a credit of about $47, because they've charged us more than we've used. When I went to look at the statement, it doesn't show usage, just the budget billing amount. Bizarre. Also can't check accounts online, so I need to call up. One of my targets for the year with all of my utilities is to reduce usage by 10% (totally arbitrary number). I'm not sure how reasonable it will be for the water bill, because it's so low to begin with, but electric and gas for sure.

I don't have big plans for the weekend. DH is going out with some guys Saturday night, and we're staying home on Sunday. I'm going to take advantage of the time to take down all of the Christmas stuff and put everything away. Lofty goals, for sure...
