Happy Turkey Day!

November 26th, 2010 at 02:26 am

I had a great day with the family. Just my parents, sister & nephew. We had food, watched a movie & played boardgames. It was very nice & relaxing.

I did splurge on bringing coffee & drinks to the house, spent about $7.00 total.

Tonight, I came home to an empty house. The roommate went to her parents for the weekend! Woohoo. I am no relaxing with an old movie that I love, Desk Set, with Katherine Hepburn & Spencer Tracy. I love old movies!

Tomorrow, I head back to work. No Black Friday shopping for me! I plan on a low key & even lower spending this weekend. I have a $95 shortfall in my December budget. I am going to try to make up the difference. I am not counting on the income from the renter. Until its in my hand, it won't be budgeted. So in the mean time, I would REALLY like to not hit my savings to cover the shortfall.

I hope everyone had a great holiday & will have an even better weekend

I love Desk Set too! I only saw it for the first time a few months ago, but I really enjoyed it.

I've been helping my mom pack most of today, and tomorrow the movers will be coming. So, no shopping for me either. (Though I don't think I've *ever* gone out shopping on "Black Friday" - at least not for the "deals.")

I have been watching a bunch of old movies lately. I go thru the schedule for the month on TCM and write down the ones I want to watch. Happy Holidays!!
