Dumbass
Lately, I have been a little scatterbrained. For example, on Saturday I forgot to turn the oven off at dinner time. Luckily, my husband noticed my error. On Monday, I had to run to the craft store to return a picture frame. I accidentally left a candling burning in my living room. Luckily, my house didn't catch on fire. And yesterday, I went to the library and I left the back door open. Not unlocked - OPEN. What the hell? Am I trying to destroy everything we own?

Man, this budget shit is hard
So, I forgot about a bill - Porgie's dance lessons. An extra $50 came out of our checking account yesterday morning. DAMN IT! We have no money left. None. Actually, that is a lie. We have $4.82. John and I discussed our options. If we were sane and rational people, we would just transfer money from our savings account. Be we are not sane and rational people, so we are just going to tough it out.
In order to achieve our lofty goal, we are not going to the grocery store next week. When John first suggested this, I looked at him like he had 3 heads. No grocery store? What will we eat? But then I actually looked in our cupboard. We have plenty of food. We will be fine. I already have the entire menu for next week completely planned out. The only flaw to our plan is milk. We have to go to the store to buy the kids milk. But I have $10 in my wallet, so we should be golden.
Now I have to accomplish the seemingly impossible - go to Target without spending money frivolously.

Honing my old lady skills
As you know, I love crocheting. Lately, I have been getting really crafty. Remember my adorable hat? Well, now I have something even better! I present to you, the old lady dish towel contraption....
I know that your grandma had these in her kitchen, and you probably think they are lame, but you are wrong. These are the BEST dish towels ever! I hang them on the drawer handles in my kitchen. They are very convenient, and they always stay put. Since we don't use paper towels anymore, I use my fabulous hanging dish towel to dry my hands.
I know that you are jealous of my mad crocheting skillz. It is official, I am completely and totally AWESOME.
