Last summer....

My Baby

He's so ferocious...

*Things I Wish*

*that it was still raining

*that I could take a nap curled up with a cat, every day

*for a bunch of fresh ink pens

*that people still called me Jenny

*for great espresso, everyday

*that I could show you the fabulous, red, jeweled sandals I found yesterday

*for Halloween, every other weekend

*for Fall, every day

*that I could see my family every evening

*that my sisters (all of them) would call more often

*that I could adopt all the stray and forgotten kittens of the world

*that people would stop telling me about the things that make them miserable

*that I had a really good book to read

*that I could stop getting older

*for perfect Posh Spice hair

*that I could eat breakfast at Sam's every day

*that everyone made decent chai tea

*that I could take Bryce on a train ride

*that I could make everyone happy

*that I would be content, just to be me

What do you wish?

Hot

It is over 100 degrees today.

For me, this means:

*vomiting

*shakiness

*fatigue

It's been a great day here.  

Ways to Save Money

1. Read magazines while hiding behind racks of books in Borders. When a sales associate passes near you, furrow your brow and scrutinize the front of the magazine as though you cannot decide if it is *worthy* of your purchase.

2. Check out magazines from the library.

3. Drink crystal light instead of iced tea from the coffee shop next door

4. Wash your hair less. Thus, saving shampoo.

5. Watch tv on the internet {and cancel your cable}

6. Drink Americanos as opposed to Lattes

7. Exercise more. Shop less.

8. Use coupons

9. Invite yourself to dinner at the home of friendly people

10. Have your sister wax your eyebrows {a risk full of danger, yet, a thrifty choice}.
