March 15

Beware the Ides of March?  The job interview to become the Julius Caesar of Wisconsin agriculture went OK.

Makeup from Sephora: $$53.85

Tennis/work out clothing: $219.05.  I used to play on my high school tennis team.  I really don't play anymore because of foot injuries, but I still prefer tennis clothing for my workout gear.  The fit from EleVen, which is made by Venus Williams, is very odd: the bust is much larger than the hip measurement for anything with a built in bra.  Don't know that I'm going to buy anything else from her line, even though the clothes are cute and the quality is otherwise OK.

Dead pineapple and moldy bread: $3.98

Popcorn chicken and sweet potato tots from Sonic: $7.79.  The strawberry limeade isn't pictured.  Sweet potato tater tots sound like a good idea, but they're not.  They were awful.

Overpriced organic Mexican food from Border Grill food truck: $10.41.  Three dollars for a really small taco is outrageous.  Quinoa fritters sound like a good idea but aren't.

March 1, 2013

Car wash: $6.00.  It used to be $5.  I think the last time my car got washed was October 2012; living in California, I really don't see the point.  It would rust if I still lived where it snows and I didn't wash the road salt off, but here it is just dirty.  Might as well save the cash to spend on something else.

HP laptop: $701.56.  Gift for my technologically impaired mother.  I will do all the set up and configuration, and then give it to her for Mothers Day.
