The laundry mission got accomplished finally, i just did one load.
I also made some pasta with chicken sausage for dinner.
I ended up drinking a lot though, I went to see Megan at Taku and she poured me some wine, and then we went to the Brooklyn Inn, late night...Though somehow I ended up spending no money while we were out! hmmmm?

Laundry Detergent $4.32

Melissa went with me to Duane Reade after work so I could get some detergent, I usually can't just buy one thing at Duane Reade. I usually spend around $30 everytime I step foot in there, I have talked to others about this problem and many people agree they have the same problem. I get caught up in all the little stuff stores like this carry. I find myself saying, "I really need some black eyeliner and some ankle socks".

We took the train back to her neighborhood in Brooklyn, also Doug's hood where I am residing until R&C leave for Japan. We watched Sunday's episode of Grey's Anatomy, one of our favorite shows on-air right now. She taped it for us, and I had some left over chili that she made on Sunday. I planned on washing some clothes tonight, but never got around to it.

Coffee at Deli .70
Pellegrino Water $2.00
Pantene Pro-V Shampoo $5.73
Pomegranate Teany Tea $2.00

I made a red curry for dinner, it was missing the ingredient of fish sauce though. It was pretty good, I put spinach, red peppers and tofu in it. Sticking to the goal of cooking in, I'm already thinking about dinner for tonight, check me out!
I got rent payed for the month of December today as well, so I am all set and now just working on staying within the excel chart I have set up.
The Teany Tea I had was white tea with pomegranate juice, it was really good.
2 weeks today, no smokes.
We've started to watch the television series LOST on DVD, and well, it's kinda cheesy... I'm more a fan of HBO television series vs. primetime television, much better acting and writing. But, I may be sucked into this show anyway, i think because it's just weird, really weird.

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!
