Coffee Settepani cafe .75
Cigs $8.00
Laundry pick-up $23.00

This morning got an e-mail from an old friend, not just any old friend, but my old boyfriend, a guy I dated and my "love" from age 16-19. He's reading the blog! I kinda advertise it in a way on my Myspace page, letting my friends on that site know about it, and hoping they take a minute out of their day to view it. I also hope for feedback, and weirdly enjoy the fact that I am letting people become voyeurs into my daily habits and fiscally irresponsible, hopefully and ever-so gradually shifting fiscally responsible patterns. Brian writes in an e-mail to me, that seeing that I'm spending most of my money on food, booze and late night cab rides home, that seems like not much has changed! Then he fills me in on his late life of a baby on the way, trips to Napa with his wife, a career as a Fromagier (as he put it, cheese guy/resident glutton) and I begin to wonder am I doing something wrong? Or am I leading my life as I destined? Just getting by, living and working in New York, heading into my late 20's, but still the same old Nicole! I even sport the same hair cut I had in 1998, am I a creature of habit, maybe that's what I thrive on? never changing? Well thanks Brian, if you read this entry, for opening my eyes and for filling me in on your life. I hope you continue to be a new regular set of eyes on my journal of spending, it was really great to hear from you. As for my Monday's spending, nothing too crazy, just picked up 32 pounds of laundry, a pack of cigarettes (no, I haven't even opened the Allen Carr book yet, do plan on it), and I stayed in and watched Secretary, from Netflix.
