1. Budget revealed
Not to you.
I worked on the budget yesterday afternoon and ran through it with my resident budget guru, Carol. She had several great ideas on final cuts so the whole thing might balance (always good behavior for a budget).
And then later last night I debuted the budget for CC. Overall, he was pleased and didn’t freak out too much. Seeing each of the high individual credit card balances was a bit of a shock, but he handled it well. And seeing that we will actually, and finally, receive allowances that can be used to buy guilt-free clothes seemed rather freeing.
So we’re off! The plan to start on the 15th with the allowance pieces, finish making capital improvement purchases (a coffee maker for CC’s office so he can avoid the local coffee shop, etc.) and have everything set up with the budget program for September 1.
2. Little packets of condiments!
Yesterday my package from minimus.biz arrived. It bothered me when we started the bring-lunch program that if you add mayo or mustard to your sandwich in the morning, by noon it’s always a bit nasty, you have to worry about refrigeration, etc. After searching high and low – thinking that someone must offer handy “picnic” packs – I came up dry. Thankfully minimus.biz allows you to order single serving sizes of several different mustards, ketchups, mayos (including fat-free), salad dressings … list goes on and on.
So today I enjoyed my ham and swiss sandwiches with Grey Poupon!
