Well that was a nice weekend.

Friday was the last day of my upholstery class. I gave the instructor my mom's chair to finish. I didn't want to pay another $200 to take the class and finish it myself. I know he'd do a better job, for probably the same price too. This is going to be my birthday present for her (a little late from March 15th). Then we headed out for a late dinner. We went to a burger place, and it was really good. We also had a buy one get one coupon from REd Robin, courtesy of Kimmie Thanks. No spend day: 11/18

Saturday was a bit more pricey. I tried to get my oil changed, but the wait was 3 hours. I'll wait till next weekend. Then headed over to Menards. My boyfriend picked up a tool chest for $40! It's a decent sized one too. This also means that I'm going to inherit his small one for my tools. Then in the afternoon, we headed to Panda Express for lunch. He said he was going to take me out, so he paid. Then it was off to the mall. He needed to get a filter for his refrigerator (no such luck on that end). We were mainly passing time though so we stopped a few places to get there. I'm looking for a bedroom set (no luck) but we did stop at the bakery outlet. I picked up a loaf and the good whole wheat English muffins for $2.22. Yeah, I could have paid less for white bread, but this is so much healthier and tastier.

Then on our way home, we stopped by the cheap theaters to check on the attractions. Then we had an hour to kill, so off to Borders. Yes, we splurged and ordered drinks and browsed magazines and books. I paid ~$10 Then I bought two clearance cookbooks for $7.40 Then off to the theater. I paid for that too. $14 for two, with popcorn and drink. We saw Hitch. It was hilarious and well worth it! THen it was off to dinner, and he treated me again.

So ~$33 for a day of entertainment, not bad.

Sunday was relaxing. I did my first spring cleaning. My place was getting pretty bad. So I cleaned everything. Then I went to visit my parents, my dad had an Easter performance. I managed to come back with some food, a rug and some misc stuff. I stopped by my bf's house and we cooked dinner using a recipe out of one of the new books. It was great!!! It was ground turkey stir fried and then put into a lettuce leaf. I even have left overs for today. Then I ended up finishing watching The Incredibles. I had fallen asleep about 30 min. into it on Friday. That is a funny movie. No spend day: 12/20

And now here I am on another Monday morning. Unfortuneately today will be a spend day. I need groceries. I haven't done some serious grocery shopping for over 2 weeks. We're going to cook at home again tonight.

Spendless days: 12/21
