Priorities

Posted on June 5, 2007 7 Comments

$8 for a bratwurst
$74 (!) for Maybock beer for friends and me at Mayfest, of course
$25 cab ride home after missing our stop on the train because we were…sleeping?…

At least I got this fine photo out of the day…

I think I may need to refocus my summer priorities. This weekend definitely cannot happen again! Only running and salad for me from now on. It’s much easier on the wallet and the figure.

    beer, bratwurst, and a ride home are my TOP three priorities EVERY summer.

    Well, no beer for me this summer… but you get the idea.

    You should hold your own Mayfest at home for your friends. It would be cheaper and maybe inspire them to invite you over for some more budget friendly fun.

    Oh, that is what my family does (have our own). We are good Germans, we have our own Oktoberfest. Tent, german food, beer (including home-made beer), competitions, traditional dress, we’ve even had horses!!! It is a blast and everyone loves to come, they put it on the calendar a whole year in advance!!

    Don’t be so hard on yourself, everyone deserves a day of fun now and again!!!

    Oh savingdiva, we all know I’m not going to follow through with it! Maybe I’ll just cut out the really expensive, summer festival ones. I can still have them at home on the cheap!
