Hope to see you at 5
We're giving a book talk today, 5pm at the Donelson Library. We'll cover the basics of budgeting and follow the interests of the audience. If time permits, I'd really like to discuss the connection between saving money and eating healthy, but only because it's been on my mind lately.
So far, I'm doing okay with my 2012 plans. I got organized on Monday, finished reading "Eats, Shoots, and Leaves" on Tuesday, and got 3 tax forms filled out on Wednesday. Couldn't print them because my printer ink ran out, but I picked some up on the way to meet my friends to see "The Muppets" (fun movie). I did eat out, but I got the kids meal instead of adult meal (cheaper and fewer calories). Got free popcorn for using my Regal loyalty card. I'm camped out at Starbucks today, doing working on the cafepress and zazzle shops from my latop. It saves gas if I don't drive all the way home after taking my nephew to school (using sis's car). Used a Christmas gift card to get green tea (cheaper and better for me than a half & half based drink).
The point of that list was not TMI but to illustrate that any positive change involves lots of little steps and decisions.
