- Hubs still unemployed
- Curbing spending
- Actually setting up a spreadsheet for grocery purchases to help figure out our food budget
- Birthday (__30th__, 11/18)
- Went crazy, bought Wall-E and an advent calendar
- Dinner at Ruby Tuesday (downgrade from sushi/Cheesecake Factory tradition)
- Early present of a MacBook takes care of future birthdays/Christmas for both of us
- Put up the Christmas tree (11/19)
- No, it's not too early
- Moved the table out of the dining room
- Now the tree has center stage
- TV died, now it's out in the garage
- Feeling slightly pioneer-like
- But also feeling liberated
- No more advertising (except online and in print), which is very nice (no pressure to BUY or BE anything else)
- Blowing up the library card and reading fiction like crazy
- Ironically, watching more movies (see above item)
- Considering cancelling Netflix
- Enjoying Hulu.com
- Using the credenza for Christmas decor instead of as TV/DVR/DVD Player stand (prime real estate)
- Stayed up ALL NIGHT to read "Twilight" (11/22)
- File under "Reliving Adolescence", "Too Old for This"
- Good thing there's no TV to tease me with the movie trailer. Otherwise I might actually step inside a theater for the first time in years.
- Too late. Made movie date with my sister.
- As of 11/24, I'm now on Book 3. I haven't read this fast in... well, maybe never.
- 11/26- finished the last book! And saw the movie! Husband is on book 3. Whatta champ!
- Somehow lost 5 pounds. Hope I never see it again.
- And then, Thanksgiving in South Carolina. So, yeah. Those 5 pounds will probably be reappearing.
