December 17th Spending- Done planning

Total Spent...$27.48

So officially done planning out my days...at least until work dies down a bit, either that or God is trying to teach me to let go of control.

Since I covered a few time at work for this one guy, he offered to cover for me last night so I got to leave work at 5 instead 8 or 9! Since hubby was having his boys over and wasn't expecting me till after 8 I decided I would get some of my errands done and...a trip to the gym! I ran to the mall to pick up my new contacts first. I can finally see! After 2 weeks of having a much weaker pair it's great! While I was there I had to talk myself out of many personal items. I actually caved enough and tried on some things at The Loft and Express, but luckily I didn't buy them. I do need an outfit for a wedding right after Christmas, but I want to see what I can pull together from my wardrobe first. I didn't walk out empty handed though. I spent $8.47 on a gift for hubby. I know we said we weren't buying anything else, but he needs a new controller for his PS2, so I got him one. It could have been worse...I was looking at a wireless one for $29.99 +tax. You'd have to keep buying batteries for it, just for the convience of sitting across the room without a wire. No thank you.

I also stopped at CVS where my plan of what to buy fell to piece when they were out of two of the things I wanted :-( I also bought an item I didn't have on my list but I needed because I was stupid when I was a lifeguard and walked around the pool barefooted...oops. That was $14 and cause the big dent in my money spent.
I bought 2 bottles of St. Ives lotion for $5 each, which earned me $5 in ECB's. I had $6 in ECB previously, so I would have paid $4. Then I bought 2 Soft and Dri deodorants at $2.99 a piece. They each earned me $2 ECB, plus...they had $0.55 off peelies on each, bringing their total to $4, so I bought a box of candy canes and paid with the ECB's and $.76 out of pocket.
So I now have $4 ECB's for next time :-)

Plus... I WENT TO THE GYM!!! First time in almost 2 weeks! I didn't do much, but even 20 minutes of cardio is nice when you haven't done any in awhile :-)
