Wow, I gave into every impulse yesterday! I was picking up my dry cleaning, and had an overwhelming hankering for Chinese food for lunch (it's right next door). $5.67 spent. Ended up being just ok. Later in the day, had a hankering for the new Milky Way hot cocoa at Dunking Donuts. I've been holding off, trying to be good, and gave in. Picked one up for me and one for hubby. $3.60. Again, just ok. Then, a friend of mine asked me to go for dinner and drinks with her. $32.50, but totally worth it. So over $40 spent yesterday on impulse!
Today, in addition to watching football, I'm using up some stuff in my fridge. I had 9 carrots and a bunch of celery, so I diced them, used some to make a sauce, and froze the rest. I also caught up on some laundry and cleaned the house.
Also, on the plus side, we had a busy Friday night (DS had a birthday party, DD had soccer practice). Hubby suggested we order a pizza for dinner, but instead, I made pasta with shrimp and alfredo sauce (had the cream and parmesan cheese open in the fridge; needed to get rid of it, and I had shrimp in the freezer). I felt pretty good about that.
This should be a fairly ordinary week. Busy, as usual, but ordinary.

Good job resisting the pizza delivery!
