No Joke! Yesterday Mel and I went shopping and I only spent $60. Can you believe that? I know, I can hardly believe it myself. I am proud let me tell ya.

Mel wasn't as controlled, but it's a once in a great while type of event for her so I can't blame her. Ok, well perhaps I wasn't either...I have been shopping online too! I can't resist it. It is justified though: I can pay all of my bills on time and still put money away in my piggy bank as a savings.

On another note my lame best friend forgot her keys in my sister's car and didn't remember until I was already in San Jose - she was still at work. Luckily she had a car key and lives dowsn the street. She drove home so I didn't have to go too far. The last time we had an incident with her keys (not too long ago) she dropped them inside my couch and I had to slice open the bottom to get them out. I could have killed her.

Until next time...be safe and have fun!
