Today I feel ____________ Towards Money.

I saw this at Budgets are Sexy, and he saw it at My Pretty Pennies. Let’s see if we can make it around the blogosphere today.

1. The most I’ve spent this last week was on a vet bill for the dog. ($114)
When we lived in Vegas there weren’t fleas or ticks so we didn’t have to worry about it. So now my pup gets one flea bite and ends up with a massive allergic reaction and infection. This week’s vet bill was to confirm his clean bill of health.

2. Today I feel ambivalent towards money.
At the end of the month I may be unemployed. Well, I know I won’t have my current contract job, but I do have several possibilities on the horizon. It makes me want to not spend, and not need money, but at the same time I understand that money is a necessary tool.

3. Money can’t buy happiness. One free/inexpensive thing I did last week that made me happy was the hot dog eating contest.
My husband’s work sponsored a hot dog eating contest for charity. Afterwards, we sat outside, enjoyed some gourmet hot dogs at $2 each, and I mean GOURMET! We had the Bacon Bleu Cheese Dog, the Chicago Dog, the Chili Verde Dog, and the Chili Cheese Dog made with in house chili and a cheddar cheese fondue, delish!

4. I will consider this week a success if I can focus on what I want to do and create a solid plan.
I have a fledgling business, and I write this blog, and I’ve been having difficulty narrowing my focus into a workable plan. If I can create a decent plan that I can follow-through on, I’ll be excited.

5. My first job was babysitting my next door neighbor for $1.25 an hour.
I remember going to babysitting classes at the local parks and rec to learn infant CPR, emergency procedures, and the whole nine yards. It was fun. But boy I even undercharged then!
