Weekend Spending Report
Went to the drive-in again on Friday night. I bought the tolls and tickets into the show. ($4+$16=$20) Boyfriend bought us a whole 16″ pizza pie, popcorn and drinks. ($25ish) I also bought a drink for the road trip back. ($2) FWIW, lunch on Friday at work was free because of a group presentation.
Saturday I picked up my sewing machine refurb and it was $96. Spendy, but worth it. You can buy a whole new machine for $150, but it will be cheap and yucky. This one is a test refurb on a used machine I bought from a friend for $20 when she moved to Oregon. If I think the work was good, I will take them my precious vintage Singer.
Later there was a trip to the flea market and a $4 ironing board (No rust!) but nothing good to eat for lunch, so I snacked before going to a barbecue. I went to a barbecue for my old boss and bought some birthday cards ($6) and a gift card ($25). I also bought boyfriend take out dinner for $10. (Oh those annoying neighbors had a party with full on amplifiers so he had to bring the dog over and stay overnight. The yummy place we like to eat was closing and he didn’t go to the barbecue with me.) Boyfriend mailed a package for me for ($8).
On Sunday we ate brunch at Bistrot Du Coin which boyfriend picked up. ($30, because I am a pig who had salad and pate de campagne. Boyfriend had an omelette only. No drinks.) There was cool drive in the evening to Crystal City for a Chipotle dinner for $16. Boyfriend bought tasty Coldstone ice cream for $10 while we sat under a nice wisteria arbor and watched a pretty fountain. (It’s a really romantic spot. I highly recommend it for a date. The same neighborhood has Jaleo and Legal Sea Food and some other fancy and not so fancy spots for a variety of budgets.) I also picked up some dog food during the day for his dog for $21. (IAMS fancy stuff.)
There was spending every day and a lot of stress of running around etc. The drive-in showed Wall-E and Batman: The Dark Knight. Both worth seeing. We got a lot done, but maybe not enough.
This weekend was boyfriend’s birthday, but there wasn’t really time to go someplace nice for dinner. We also couldn’t decide what to have, so we’re going to put that off till he comes back from his trip for work.
