Today in Dollars

Posted on January 13, 2012 5 Comments

I’m writing this post from my cell phone on the way home (See? I attached a picture to prove it. That is me, in glasses, wearing a scarf thing that I knitted. It’s the end of the day, just gloss over my no-more-makeup appearance…)

It’s sort of odd to post from my phone, so if anything looks off, I promise to fix it later. But it’s also very exciting because until now I was only able to Tweet during my commute; this opens up nearly two hours of blogging time per day. And I’m feeling motivated.

But since this is more of a test than anything, I’m posting a simple summary of my day’s expenses. I didn’t do that well today, because we had free tickets to the Bulls (basketball) game last night and got home too late to think about meal planning. So I was left to fend for myself for breakfast and lunch today. Nutrition-wise I did horrible, but everything was oh-so-tasty.

Breakfast: spent $3.05 on a Nutella croissant. I actually had oatmeal and fruit at home but every once in a while I get a serious craving for these. Usually we buy the croissants from Whole Foods and make them at home, but I had none left. At least I managed to make my own coffee. (Ok, that’s a lie. Man-friend made it for me.)

Comcast Bill: I paid it this morning. Our bill is something like $120 every month for cable (including DVR) and Internet. We split the bill, but this particular one goes on my credit card and we settle our bills once or twice per year.

Lunch: I spent $8.10 on a Jimmy John’s meal for lunch. Have I ever mentioned how much I love JJ’s? It’s my favorite guilty pleasure (easy mayo, o’course!). Sure, it’s pretty heavy calorically, but I’m pretty sure I’m still burning calories from yesterday’s 30 minute stair climb, at least, if my ridiculously aching legs are any indication.

So there you have it, my first cell phone post. Time to publish and see how I did…
