A spendy day...not too bad, but it felt like we were buying things right and left today.

It started out on a good note - exchanged a book (gift for DD) for four Magic Treehouse books, and it only cost one cent. Very cool Next we went across the street to the bank and deposited change into DD's savings account - put $23.50 in and brought her total up over $300. This account is the account we set up for her that is at a local bank, so that she can physically deposit money into her acount and get the thrill of seeing her account grow. That's the idea, anyway. (Worked for me.)

Next was lunch with DH - $15. After that was a gift for DH for our anniversary ($80+), and a birthday gift for one of DD's friends ($30+). Then it was a stop at the fabric store for a skirt pattern, $2 for two ice cream cones, $16 at the grocery store, $4 at the 99 cent store, and finally home. The finale - $50+ on printer ink online this evening.

Phew.

I've had some sort of sinus cold for days now. It isn't getting worse, but it isn't getting better either. Very annoying. I've blown my nose so often that it's really starting to hurt now. I hate that.

I started knitting a sweater back in February/March, but I haven't worked on it lately due to being intimidated by it. I'm not working from a pattern but trying to replicate (somewhat) a sweater I already own. I got it out again this evening and have started working on it again. I'm not trying to make an exact duplicate of the sweater, but it's helping me with measurements and whatnot.
