I will not be spending anything because I'm out of spending money and don't get any till tomorrow. Oh wait, I do need gas, I don't have enough to get home, but Dh says that I don't get my gas allowance til tomorrow either so not sure what I'll do.

My2Beauties replied: I spent $4.73 on a sweet tea and some french toast this morning at the cafe on the corner of the street over here by work. Other than that I did good today. Yesterday I went out to lunch though and spent over $10 I'm so bad. Oh and last night was bowling night, so there went $20.

OMG I was sooooo bad today... today was a payday and DF got a bonus so we had money to play with (which we NEVER get) so I went to Babies 'r' Us in Syracuse for the first time... OH. MY. GOD! I was in love! I spent like two hours in there just looking at everything, no lie. Walked out with a $50 Snoogle Materniy Pillow (thank you GOD now I can sleep) and $2 on a cute little pooh rattle.

Got lunch, that was like $10... then went to Olive Garden for dinner.... yyyyeah $50 easy. THEN went to the mall and got 2 pairs of comfy pants for $17. Went to VS to get some undies. $25 there.

Spent around $155... oy. But I don't care, I never get to buy stuff and go out and it was really fun and I had a great time!

And thank god they don't have a Babies r us in Utica or I would put us in the poor house!!!
