I have discovered a major problem - Well, not actually a problem for me, but possibly for my financial well-being.
Here's the situation:
Abby has ballet at 3:00. It ends at 3:45. By the time I drive home and unload Deakon, I have to reload Deakon and drive right back. I don't enjoy that. I'd much rather spend money.
You might think - "Hey, doesn't she have a life, or errands, or something?"
Sometimes I do...but sometimes I don't want to do them.
So, what do I do? I choose to drive aimlessly around Kaysville and the surrounding cities searching for the "winner" of the week (AKA the store/gas station/restaurant that will recieve my money). Sometimes all I need is a Diet Coke and I'm good. Sometimes (as was the case today) I spend close to $100 in 15 minutes. That's right - a big fat "C Note"... at your neighborly Distribution Center; buying Mormon underwear and a DVD of the Testaments to show to my Primary class.
I have such an exciting life. Maybe I'll try exercising next time. Or not.
(I must admit, some of that money was spent across the street at Bed Bath and Beyond. I could spend a lot of money in that store. I felt like I "needed" every item on every endcap. I left with towel racks, a shower curtain liner, and a really cute dishwasher scrubbing thing.)

Looks like you had a fun Easter!!! No worries...I can drop a quick 100 at the distribution center in a heartbeat...SOOOOOo easy to justify!
Last year Abbie's dance was that same way but there was a TJ Maxx within about 5 minutes. I think dance last year cost us about 350 dollars a month! HA HA! Good thing I do the budget huh?
I struggled with this same problem last year when I had the whole summer off. Having fun costs $. Even if it is just 45 minutes of fun.
JENNY--- Put down the wallet!! Walk away from the store fronts!! Just say "no" to the credit cards!! Friends don't let friends shop excessively!! There are so many other things in life to spend money on than underwear (like Hawaii!! I say: just go COMMANDO) Next time you ARE out: my sizes are Large, Large, and extra Large!!

Ummm, I have no idea what you are talking about. I have never done anything like that. Especially not on Tuesdays between 4:00-5:00.
Sterling gave me a $100 gift certificate to the mall as an easter present and I planned on dragging it out and savoring it. Whoops. I spent it all in 20 minutes.
