I've been struggling with the idea of "no-spend" days for a while now. I forgot who posted the idea that no-spend days are senseless if you pile up all your purchases into one day, and then are no-spend the next. What's the difference? I think it was Diva Jen that said she strives for "no unnecessary spend" days. I'm going to try to take that approach, but am still not sure how many I should shoot for each month. I mean, shouldn't every day be a "no unnecessary spend" day? I'll need to think a bit more on this. On to other things...

I sold a book yesterday on half.com for $10. I don't get it. It's a Dr. Seuss-type book. I usually list my books for a couple of bucks in an effort to make them more marketable. But when I did a search on half.com for this title, most were coming up at $10 or more. So I listed it at $10 (the list price on the book was only $10.50). It must be a classic or something to fetch that price, but having read it, I didn't think it was so great...Who knows, I'm just happy for the $10.

We had a good time with our friends this weekend. I made stuffed shells and meatballs for dinner. The great thing about this is that it's relatively inexpensive and I was able to make a lot, not knowing exactly how much we'd eat, then freeze the rest, so there's no waste. I have 3 more servings in the freezer now. This week is going to be pretty quiet. Hubby has dinner out 2 nights this week, and we have our parent-teacher conference on Thursday. Other than that, I'm going to try to pick up a few more things I need for Christmas, and get some of the wrapping for the kids' presents done. I need to work this weekend, then hubby is travelling next week, so I need to finish making the big push now while I have the time...
