So, the results of my great April budgeting experiment are out :) If you'll take a look at appendix A I think it's pretty clear where I need to cut back. Washington State Ferries is my favorite place to spend my money? What?

Mint.com is amazing. They do the budgeting for you. With pie charts, and bar graphs connected to all 53 of your bank accounts. No need to bust out the receipts and sort them into piles. Although I collected my receipts in a pretty envelope this month anyway.

Better awareness of your spending = more responsible management of your money. Check that one off my list.

It's snowing for the third day in a row. I don't even know what to say.

I'm looking out the window, and we have a lone vendor for Sunday Market. Brave soul. He's on Maintenance Road huddled under a 10 X 10 canopy tent with his stained glass swaying with the cold breeze. Who knows how long he'll last. If I were him, I'd be packed up and home by now.

Joel, Melissa, Rachel, and I made breakfast for dinner last night. French toast (from Chollah bread), sausage, scrambled eggs, mimosas...Just thinking about it makes me happy. It's been weeks since I've hung out with my roommates at home. Unfortunately it was just the three of us because everyone else has been plagued by gastroenteritis...a stomach/intestinal virus that you don't want.
