Thanksgiving Weekend Update:

So I was bad, I was writing down everything the best I could and then just lost track of some stuff along the way, so I'll give my Turkey Day weekend update to you, but a bit patchy...
Also, I had a little "session" at the Starbucks (yuck, i know, but free wireless) on Court St. with Doug on Saturday. We broke down my income and my expenses, and then he created a spreadsheet for me in Excel. Calling it the "road to riches", it should be a helpful guide for me to control my spending. This week's new goal is to eat in, start cooking more and stick to my chart best I can. Tomorrow we celebrate 2 weeks no smoking!
