Shopping Update - 08/29 and 08/30

Other than buying stamps the other day so I could mail DD's birthday party invitations, I haven't been buying anything. The shopping list has been growing, however. I've been trying to do without instead of running to the store everyday.

There was a while when I first started this that I was itching to shop just for entertainment. Now, because I have to go to the store frequently to get basic things we need, I don't want to go as much. Plus, DD has started riding the bus to school so I'm not in the car already. It is so nice NOT to be driving all the time.

The 'gift certificates' in DD's piano practice prize box are working MUCH better than expected. She has selected a trip to the park as her first item. It was a hot day but the park has a water feature and we brought DD's bathing suit so it turned out to be okay. The next night she selected to have me read her an extra chapter in her night-time story book. Yes! I can do that any time.
