LOL! DH called from work today, which is to say he called from his car. The problem with his job and packing lunch is that his office is in the home and the car. Today he had a 10:00 interview with a client and figured he be home for lunch. He got a phone call while out from a client who could meet and blah, blah, blah, he got hungry and had to eat. He called to appologize and I told him it was no problem as long as we would commit to a no-spend two week challenge. The dear man agreed. I knew he would.

As for today, we are spending. My children's best friends, who are also the children of our best friends, are coming for dinner and to spend the night. It was a last minute thing that I decided to do. We're having pancakes, sausage, eggs and O.J. for dinner. Problem is, we don't have any eggs or O.J. We have fake eggs, but their kids won't like them. I adore these kids, so it isn't a problem! I feel bad about spending the money because tomorrow is pay day and shopping day, but again, I do adore these children and there's nothing in the house to eat at this point. Actually, I do have meals in the freezer, but they're pretty much portioned out for four, not six. Anyway, ramble, ramble, ramble.

Tomorrow we start the no-spend challenge right after I hit the grocery store with my list and the gas station. I am putting $100 on my gas gift card which will last two weeks or more. I am taking out $200 cash for groceries and hoping to spend only 1/4 of that or less. Then, it's a no-spend two week period. Here I come!

I think I will go start a thread.
