In case you are wondering, the book is The Amazing Adventures of Diet Girl. A few months ago I discovered a blog by the same name. It's one of those blogs that is so witty and compelling that you go back and read it from the very beginning. I, ahem, most certainly did not do that at work, or during my reading with Rand in bed time. Ahem, no. Anyway, I WANT THAT BOOK!
I feel bad that I can't buy the book, b/c I would really like to support the author, but I am damn well gonna read that book, even if it does cost me $4.60 in fines. Man, buying the book is looking better and better. Stupid fines. But seriously, if you are trying to lose weight, go read her blog for inspiration. She's who made me realize I didn't have to wait until I was thin and in shape to go to Zumba or to hula hoop. She made me want to get out there and do stuff.
What I Wore While Paying Fines At the Library:
- black pencil skirt (George/Walmart, new at Goodwill) $3 *
- red tank (CAbi, thrifted Goodwill) $1
- blue T (Old Navy) $5
- blue/green/white plaid pumps ($9.99 Shoe Store) $7
- red wicker purse (thrifted, Goodwill) $3
- green necklace (Target, new stock Goodwill) $0.79
- gold earrings (hand-me-down from Mom) free
- mother of pearl & silvertone bracelet (Xmas gift from Stacy) free
* At first I felt like it might be cheating to wear the same skirt twice this week. I've really been trying to wear different items for my each of my $20 Challenge outfits. But then I realized that I wore this skirt twice last week too. So it's not like I did it just for the challenge. I just love this skirt.
What I Drank As Payment For Dog-sitting a Racoon Killer:
Maria went camping last weekend, so we watched her little dog. As payment for doing this, we get beer. I told Maria to pick something random. We ended up with Buffalo Butt Beer, which is made right here in Ft. Worth. It's a good thing she picked such an amusing beer after all the raccoon killing scariness that happened. Hi, Maria! We loved your choice! The beer was only so-so but the title and label more than made up for that.
Total for the Day: $19.79, F-ton of calories, no exercise
