Hey Gang!!!!
I have stopped watching the boob tube and tuned in here! Actually reading and responding to blogs is so much more enjoyable and productive.
The week went prety well and I pretty much stayed on target and spent only on budgeted items. WooHOOO!!!!
Today I treated myself to two dirty water hot dogs with mustard, sauerkraut, and onions, I washed it down with a diet Coke! That was my indulgence this week!
Went over to Mamas house and got a bag of Tootsie Pops. Seems like too much candy was bought for the kids trick or treating! I am a Toosie Pop Fiend! I love the darn things! I also got a bowl of, ready to laugh, chicken soup! Homemade chicken soup that was to die for!
The wife and I are doing well so far but she had 619 dollar overdraft on her checking. Hey, it is her problem now so I'll not be losing sleep over it!
We are getting along smashingly this week though! We still have yet to go get her new leaher coat!
DDs birthday is coming up and I am getting her new in line skates as the old ones really are too small for her now!
Got a few things for Christmas but I really hate shopping and such especially for clothes! I usuually take one of my sisters because when it comes to buying womens clothing, for my wife, I am a walking disaster. Don't ever ask me to coordinate color or anything else fashionable. High fashion for me is Dockers, loafers, a shirt, and a tie!
My wife asks me not to go clothes shopping without someone who understands the subtle vagueries of womens clothing! I am as clueless as they come!
DDs Viola lessons are going to cost 343 dollars. An odd number for 10 lessons if you ask me. There was 40 dollars for the trip to the French restaurant with her French Class.
The wife and I have to go to an auto safety course to get our 10% off on our auto insurance. We are looking for the cheapest possible class!
Wait I also splurged last night and bought two bottle of Diet Dr. Browns Blackberry Soda! It is a treat for me. Most folsk think it tastes like Robitussin but hey I like it and it was 99 cents for the large bottles so I bought two!
I am on my third Tootsie Pop and I still bite them before I get tohe center. Oh well!
I realize this is a long post bt I have not been posting as often as I would like!
On we go!
Nice Weekend!

Yeah, I am happy. Why not? Life is too short to not be! It sure is funny how little things like Tootsie Pops can make you happy. Maybe it always is the little things that make us happy!
Tina....I sort of look like the owl.........

Also, thanks for the kick in the pants...signing up for an auto class has been on my to-do list for about 6 months!

"Mr. Owl, how many licks does it take to get to the center of a toosie pop?"
"A one."
"A two."
"A three" and then Mr. Owl bites into it and declares "A three".
If this does not ring any bells with you or your readers, I have just severely dated myself.
Funny thing is, they have been recently repeating these same old ads on Cartoon Network.
Tootsie pops are darned good! I prefer the chocolate ones myself.

A dirty water hot dog is a hot dog you buy off a street vendor who has a pushcart. Generally the water used to cook the dogs is not changed during the day and so the water becomes flavored over time and changes color thus the term "dirty water"! Then of course you get mustard, sauerkraut, and onions piled on top of your dog. The street vendor usuualy has hands that look like he has been shoveling coal. When I make trips to NY City I always make a point of getting one!
I am still working on the Tootsie Pops! pjmama I am sorry but the Orange ones are spoken for!

Regarding the viola lessons- I played violin but always loved the deeper, "richer" tone of the viola. Never knew of many viola concertos, so I'd be interested to know what your DD plays. As for the pricing, you also have to add in the price of music books, extra strings, viola accessories (shoulderpad), rosin, metronome, music stand...ahh!

Uh, excuse me. That was very unladylike. But they are so good. I would take a hot dog (straight yellow mustard for me, though) over a Tootsie Pop anyday. Unfortunately, we don't have any vendors here in rural America
