How To Party in a Recession...

Pre-cocktail party at my place;
Dance to some fun songs,
Quick stop at Cookies to pick up the girls-
(Maybe a few more glasses of wine...)
On the way to the birthday party;
Dinner before: Mc Donald's!
...what can I say, times are tough!

Remember When...

...Twenty-five dollars seemed like a nice chunk of change?

I just dropped twenty-five dollars on a small bottle of laundry soap (on special) a four pack of Target brand toilet paper and a three pack of Target paper towels!

I miss the good ol' days when $25.oo meant a fun night out at the movies, or a dinner for two, or a tank of gas, or four bottles of drinkable alcohol...

Wow. I sound like my father... I totally get it now! I'm not sure if it's because of the recession, or I'm just cheap- but I miss the lavish lifestyle! You know, when I could blow twenty-five bucks on a days worth of coffee at Starbucks!
