Wanna play?

So instead of sleeping I was thinking (which is pretty much what I do most of the time lately. I think I may need to make an appointment to see el doctor and get something lovely to knock me out at night. But I ride bikes.) about random things. Lots of things. Like, my throat is sore. Does this mean I'm getting sick? Also, I really need to re-watch Gilmore Girls. Love the Gilmore Girls. Finally, I decided (this is where the blog post comes in) that I spend too much money. MUCH, MUCH too much money. And not even on big things or even things that better my world. Little things. Silly things. I hate this about me! So I've decided to play a fun game and I want to invite you friends, family and Internet Crazies (until I take this blog private, then you're no longer invited. No offense.) to play along. Here's how it goes: Starting TOMORROW (or wait, today? Tuesday August 24th, or whenever you read this) I'm going to track EVERYTHING I spend money on. Necessity or not, I'm writing it down. I may post it, I may not. It depends on how lazy I am. And I'm pretty lazy. Anyway, so I just want to see where I spend our money. THEN (here's where the game comes in) I'm going to go a WHOLE WEEK...6 days (no Sabbath shopping for me!)...without spending ANY MONEY. This is going to involve planning ahead this week and making sure we have everything we need and it's going to involve crazy amounts of will power. No stopping for a $1 Coke. No running to the store for that 1 thing I need for dinner and then leaving with $30 worth of crap that I may or may not have needed. I'm pretty excited for the prospect.
Join me, won't you? Come back and see me and comment, telling me how you did. The over-achiever in me wants to give a prize to those of you who participate and succeed in going the whole week but I realize that sort of defeats the purpose. So instead, I'll uh..I don't know..be your best friend. Or something.
