Most Fridays at our house we get take out, but tonight as much as I want to go out and do a happy hour, we have a hot minestrone soup in the crock pot, chocked full of vegetables, beans, and pasta ready to be enjoyed.
Looking ahead, we have one thing on the books for this weekend that we are pre-committed to that will requires money, but because that was already on the radar we are going to allow it. (As we like to try to be people of our word.)
The tricky part of our spending freeze is when Josh dropped his blackberry today and the screen turned gray. Even though we have a warranty, they said we have to pay over $135 to get the stupid thing replaced. (robbery!) Josh needs it for work, so what choice do we have in the matter? He also managed to rip the pants to his favorite suit yesterday, in a place that I don't think is going to be repairable. The cost of this guy doing business just keeps going up and up! But it really does raise questions on Wants VS. Needs. He does need a new phone, but I think he can hold off on the suit pants until next month, when we can budget for it and pay cash.
All in all another successful day of budget and blogging although I have to say I'm pretty frustrated with the whole T-mobile/new blackberry thing. I think things are going to start getting hard though, as we ran out of the hummus I was eating for lunch today, and eventually we are going to have to buy new food. Lets see how long we can last. ;)
