Last Wednesday I decided that I wouldn't spend any money until this Wednesday.
This is HARD.
I don't normally spend money really. I make my own lunch at home (and work when I have a job). I rarely ever eat out. I rarely ever shop for clothes. And I rarely ever buy little things like coffee or nail polish.
But still for some reason, not spending anything on anything seemed a little difficult on some days.
Like when we went on a hike and then our friend wanted to go to Georgetown for lunch. Normally, I even bring my lunch on these hikes but I was at Dominic's house where there's nothing but cereal and water. So I was moneyless and hungry.
But Dominic was nice enough to buy my lunch.
And then there was Trivia Night with friends, to which I accidentally had 2 glasses of wine. Once again, I looked at Dominic, like please. Just this once. He gladly did. Because he's nice like that. And we're pretty fair when it comes to who takes who out.
I think I'll take him to see Persepolis this week.
So, if it wasn't for those 2 hiccups I would've been fine. Luckily, the boyfriend came to the rescue and I didn't spend a dime (except for necessary groceries and needed bus rides).
Now, I'm off to buy pictures from my trip to Bogota and beyond!

man, i am in the same exact situation. except, i HAVE to not spend money because i don't have any anymore. i find so many ways to get around spending money--like finding old gift cards (Starbucks!). but it's kind of nice because you're forced to do non-money spending activities, which are always so much more interesting anyways (at-home ballet with old 80s video, finishing knitting projects, working on my book!).
anyways.
HAPPY LATE BIRTHDAY! it sounded great. LA misses you so it's been raining.
My friend Mason and I used to do money fasts in college. As a matter of fact last time I checked we both still owed a three day fast due to an abandonment when something too cool to miss passed up. I should get on that, I could use one.
It was great seeing you last weekend- and I meant what I said about the 'bus and breakfast'!
