please let it not be mine

Saving log - $0 tip box
Spending log - $7.47 groceries (the checker exclaimed that my bill was a plane)

Had another nearly no spend day - with the brown bagging, and the home brew coffee I only spent at the grocery store this evening. Breakfast bars and a head of raw garlic. I felt like I staved off a couple of colds last month by a raw clove of garlic chopped in a salad.

Over lunch today, I caught the PC World's 11 Lamest blogs. Well, I blog, and thankfully this is not one of them. However

2. Wow, you are screwed! Where's my coffee cup?

    ha ha ha. I loved your "2 responses."

    No matter what you say ("Why don't you...) they reply, "Yes, BUT..."
