So I have a friend that is driving across the country with her family (for pleasure). She had plans to stop in and see me. I chatted with her last night on YIM an dshe estimated that she'd be here around dinner time and then we'd hang out for the evening.
So I went to the grocery store and splurged. Not anything too crazy but bought a bunch of stuff in anticipation of her arrival. Stuff I wouldn't normally buy - chips, ice cream (she has 4 boys), extra burgers and dogs, etc. Anyway I spent way mroe than I would have otherwise.
I hadn't heard from her by 6pm and she was still 3 hours away!!! It's not her fault I overbought but she could have called me earlier if she knew she was going to be late. I am pretty annoyed. So she won't get here until 9pm (at the earliest). I have to work tomorrow (it's my last day so I HAVE to go). Besides I left early today thinking she'd be here. Oh well, nothing I can do about it now.
It's payday tomorrow but pretty much the whole thing will go toward the mortgage so we have to make what we do have stretch. It's gonna be tight until next Friday. I hope I don't have to wait too long to get my first paycheck at my new job. I was feeling pretty good about our food expenses this month. The first half we were really bad but the second have we did really well - until today's shopping trip. I still think we will at least be LESS than last month and that is a place to start. I think we will be able to do really well in July - esp since now we have all this 'extra' food to use up 
GRRRRR
