Comfy Cozy

Hey, A,

Me again.

I tried to tackle some of my stock-up errands after school, but didn't get very far. I filled my tank--for under $30!, which made me feel justified in buying myself a new sweater. Then I went to the liquor mega mart for a few bottles. 'Tis the season for a good pumpkin spice martini, you know? And I can't make that without vanilla vodka and Baileys! Well, I was good and hungry after that excursion, so I stopped at Outback and got the 9 oz. sirloin special (salad, green beans; I rarely deviate) for dinner with a couple of glasses of Little Boomey cab. They say you should never go grocery shopping hungry.

Have I justified enough? Well f**k it. The only justification I need is that I finally had the extra money, 30 dollars of it coming from the drop in gas prices, and it felt GOOD to live a little.

Now I'm home, in my soft jammies, looking through the grocery circulars and my coupons, making lists, planning well, hoping to make up a couple of dollars from today's splurges.

Hope you had a good day, and that you're ready for Big E and P. Write when you can.

Love, Barb
