Last night, Mac was on duty, so we really couldn’t make any plans. Being the good wife I am, I brought him dinner (okay, okay, it was KFC, but it still counts). He told me earlier in the week that we would be going out on a date tonight to our favorite Italian restaurant, Luigi’s. We shall see considering he’s still asleep.

As I book classes and get paid, I’ll update how much I make. Excel has a bunch of great formulas and shortcuts; I utilized auto sum and subtraction. Bills are exact amounts, while expenses… View Post »
Furniture window shopping
As I mentioned, we’re going to buy some more furniture in the not-so-distant future. We’ve gone furniture window shopping a few times in the past months to kind of gauge what we like and what we should expect to pay. In all, we own a bedroom set, a guest room bed, a desk, and few bookshelves. First up: washer and dryer. We obviously need these and will move them with… View Post »
