Coffee at Ziads Deli on Smith Street .75
Duane Reade (hair color, cigarettes) $16.01

Working late again tonight, another day to be free of spending money!
But I endend up getting out of work last night early enough to meet up with the valentine in my life and had fantastic dinner at Cafe El Portal, in NoLita. Dinner was on him (thankfully). The service was incredible and the prixe fixe included a mole dish which I ordered and had food orgasms over.

So, I KNOW I'M BUSTED. Yes, I have been smoking again, which is just awful, I know. I went nearly 2 months without it, and I had one stressful night and next thing you know, slowly I'm back to smoking. I know it's not forever, but I need to quit again, and I will.
I was reading about this book, and then Jenna at work brought it up to me, saying how I may find it interesting. "Not Buying It: My Year Without Shopping", by Judith Levine.
I think with my next check I may buy it, even though it'll cost money! ha! I guess her and her husband went an entire year without buying anything non-essential to living! How wonderful, good for them. When I get it and read it, I'll tell a bit about it.
