Challenge Day 11
Sorry.. I know I've skipped a couple of days. The good news is that I have no new stuff! My quote for today -
Challenges are what make life interesting; overcoming them is what makes life meaningful. {Joshua J. Marine}
I'm in complete agreement with this guy. So far, it's definitely been interesting. I've been trying to keep myself so busy that I don't have to worry about unnecessary spending - and it's worked. Between classes, hanging with Mike and Zion, and cleaning out the house, I haven't even been worried about it.
Today I mentioned going to the Renaissance Festival to Mike, and he said we really shouldn't be spending the money to go. Ordinarily, I would argue with him and tell him we could make it work, but for the first time in my LIFE, it made sense. Duh. What do we need at the Renaissance Festival? More pictures? No. I have a closet full of them that I haven't framed yet. Certainly not food. Zion's not old enough for rides, and we can go to the park for free.
No RenFest for us this year. Maybe next year.
I want a van.

Good decision. The Ren Fest was the same as always, so you didn't miss anything.
I *heart* my van.
Loving the girlfriends album. What was wrong with the first version? Both are great.
You want a what? :) I always swore I would never drive a van. Yet look at me now. It does make life much easier.
Not into the van thing but I Heart my freestyle :)
Ya know I have NEVER been to Ren fest since we've lived here. Too much money. One of these days will go. Good for you for not spending. Today is the start of my $20 allowance.....let's see if I can make it work :)
Ditto Kerry's comment about "what was wrong with the first album?" ..
I love my van too -- but with one kid, I would prefer Chris' Durango. (Not so much a good thing when I have all three kids!)
And --- sounds like Mike is getting ALL INTO this new spending idea ...
