Easter Weekend


Well, I had a great Easter weekend this time around, but unfortunately I’ve blown not only my diet but my budget to hell as well!

Bummer.
The diet woes started on Thursday, I went out with the people from work to Hooters for the night… much beer and fried chicken products ensued. Friday I had to buy a Timmy’s sandwich while I was on the road to P-Town, and then T’s mom made a huge Easter dinner (with copious amounts of delicious delicious foods!) for us and T’s family, so of course I could not pass up on all the scrumptious tasties.

I am happy to report though that I drank water the whole time and passed on the candies and snacks after supper!
On Saturday we went for her wedding dress fitting and then to the mall for some good old shopping. Of course there were no microwaves for my Jenny Craig food, so we ate out at East Side Mario’s and I had a burger and all you can eat garden salad.
We ended up stopping at an Addition-Elle and I bought a couple of shirts and this really cute brown cotton wrap dress even though I had not planned on spending anything. Oops.
To compound the spending issue, I then bought this new watch:

For $85, then some scrapbooking supplies since T and I have decided to make a scrapbook about the two of us. Oi. After the mall we scooped up some videos (Pride & Prejudice, Practical Magic and The Mummy boxed set) at Best Buy and I grabbed a copy of Guitar Hero III for PS2 (which I returned today because I just couldn’t justify that amount of money…).

I think that’s mostly it for spending. Yesterday my mom put out a big spread for the extended family for Easter dinner. We had turkey and all the trimmings so I couldn’t pass that up either.

But today I’m trying to be a good girl in terms of eating and spending. I’ve stuck mostly to my Jenny diet and haven’t spent much money yet today.

I haven’t done a total tally of how much my weekend cost me, but I’m estimating around $250 all told. Hopefully less than that though.

I hope you all had a great holiday, I’ll have to check all your blogs to see what you did!

Oh yes, thanks to all the new commenters and readers on my blog, I’m happy to know that you like my ramblings!

  1. hahaha, well you know what? at least you KNOW you spent too much….

    i have some pretty loopy friends who blow through $200 easily every weekend w/out a thought.

    at least you have some pretty awesome things to show for it!

  2. That dress is very nice!! And I bought that watch for my sister for Christmas, except hers had a clear dial, not pinkish. Very nice!!!

    Sounds like you had a blast! Socializing like that is important too 🙂
