10 days in

So I'm ten days into my little financial diet/self improvement experiment, aka "let's try to shrink Sunny's ulcer!", aka "another excuse to rewatch Buffy", and so far all I've managed to do is keep to my one tea from Starbucks pledge and watch all of BtVS Season One.

But I've also preordered this



because it'll look so pretty next to this

on my shelf, and invited everyone I know to go see Waitress with me this week at the Riv and I've ordered groceries, twice. Absolutely no self control.

I also took Jboy and Mandy back to school shopping yesterday. We sponsor kids every year, filling backpacks with school supplies. We managed to keep the spending in check, with the exception of a $68 hoodie that Jboy couldn't live without. Even though he has about 15 hoodies already. And I think we've eaten out almost every other day since the first. I so need a personal assistant to run my life.

Worst of all, I'm pretty sure that for every 10 calories I've burned on that stupid @$%$# exercise machine I've eaten 50 calories of chocolate pudding. Usually immediately after getting off the little torture device.

Wish me luck.
