Picked up dog and old boyfriend today; we share custody of Holly, an 11 year old Dalmation. Holly enjoyed her time at camp with him, but curled up in the car to sleep right away. Jim and I went to Pizza Hut for lucch, and got the buffet, using a buy 1/ get 1 free coupon, so $6.75 spent there; he tipped. Had ice cream for dessert at a drive thru place, and spent $5.50 for 2 cones. I thought my heart would just stop! We also saw a young woman who we helped over the holidays as she was in bad straits. She is now pregnant with child 2, apart from boyfriend, unmarried and older child is 31/2 or so. She moved back in with her mom and is talking about getting her GED again. It was interesting to hear that she expects to support herself and 2 kids on a $8 /hour job, once she gets her GED. She's about 21 or so, and it amazes me that she's so naive. I will try to think of her before I spend more money foolishly! Was able to deposit $1944 from tax refunds (2 years), mystery shopping and surveys. Slowly but surely... Oops, also spent $.50 on a snack.
