Cafe Madiba $5.00 Mojito

The Mojito was actually $10.00 and Steph covered the rest and included tip, I only had $5.00 cash on me, so I'll have to get her back...Anyway, it was a pretty darn expensive round of drinks, but Madiba's Mojitos are so worth it, and the atmosphere and beautiful people watching is fun. We each just had one and caught a buzz... We rode bikes to Fort Greene to check out some artwork at a cafe called Smooch, Nine works by an artist Kate Sterlin, they were these amazing multi-layered transparent photographs. That's how we ended up right around the corner for a drink, and we missed the reading and music in the park, ah well. It was a great night to sit outside, that's for sure.

"Riding Bikes and Saving Money"

Whiskey Sour at the W Hotel $10.00

A dear friend of mine Mikeshot from Chicago e-mailed me the other day and expressed how he missed my spending blog, I then realized it had been nearly a month since I have written. My year long project still has about 4 months left, and then I kiss this blog goodbye, so I will continue to fill people in on my spending adventures and saving tips.
Last night I was lucky enought to go see Sandra Bernhard perform for free...In her show here in NYC called, Everything Bad & Beautiful. Sandy B. was off the hook, it was a blast! My friend Megan got some free tickets thorough her work and invited me as her date.
Okay, so a few things have changed in the past month, and I'm doing a couple of new things to cut back and save money, so I'll list them off...

1. I quit smoking Sunday, May 28th (haven't cheated once)
2. Riding bike or walking into work average of 3-4 times a week
3. Cancelled Netflix for the summer (it's too nice to stay in)
4. Making drinking rules (setting goals i.e. 2 drinks and then go home)

Change is good...
