I've been reading a lot more than usual since Truman was born 12 weeks ago. I realized in December that I was setting new records for book expenses. I decided with my husband that I'd have a certain budget for books so that I wouldn't feel guilty. The budget began January 1st. January's budget was amplified by (1) some Christmas money a relative sent to me and (2) the Barnes and Noble gift certificates that we get from our credit card.
As of today, I have spent all of the above and all of February's budget. I talked to my husband, and we have decided to abolish the book budget.
So you're back to feeling guilty?
ReplyDeleteI checked to see how much this week's set of books would have cost me. $284.06. That doesn't count the $400.00 book I read in the reference section of the library on Saturday. I'm sure my husband isn't that nice. :)

ReplyDeleteYou may want to change your little about this blog description -- it describes Truman as 7 weeks old. You'll have a hard time keeping that up-to-date.
