@polka dots vs stripes It’s pretty awesome, and I’m holding on to it with both hands. I just hope it doesn’t evaporate once more of us have kids. I don’t think it will, though – the main hazard will be as people move away to places with better job markets.

@ThatJenn I haven’t had a friend group like that in awhile, but I hear you. I miss it.

@polka dots vs stripes Before they had the kid, this might have been something they’d do, but not these days. I actually don’t mind much – it’s sort of the culture of this friend group that you do what you can for each other, because you’re friends, and that’s all. If I needed something they’d be there in an instant if possible, and never expect any kind of payback. It’s different from what I’m used to in previous social circles, but it has its advantages. I haven’t needed anything in a long while, but they definitely helped me out a lot when I was getting divorced a few years ago.

Hanging out at home tonight & might go skating later = Free. Possibly will pick up some beer on the way home as we are all out.
No big plans tomorrow, but am thinking about picking up some cards and we might end up going to a movie/eat dinner/etc = $20-40ish
Grocery shopping on Sunday = $40, but no other plans at this point. Trying to keep it under $100 this weekend.

@ThatJenn It would be tacky to ask them, but is it possible they might ask you to brunch and pay, as a thank you for watching the dog? We’ll watch our friend’s cat occasionally and usually get thanked by getting taken out to dinner.

Tonight my husband and I are going to the First Fridays event at the Natural History Museum with live music (tonight it’s Lord Huron.) $36 for two.
Tomorrow we both have work to do at home, then maybe we’ll go see Django Unchained or Zero Dark Thirty and grab a burger after. $40.
Sunday we celebrate the anniversary of when we got together. Morning at the Hollywood Farmer’s Market ($40 for groceries), long walk in the Hollywood Hills, dinner at the Little Door ($150).
All told, probably $270.

AND ALSO. Mike, are those your feet on either side of a mimosa? Seems like a pretty good time. And relevant to the people over on the Downton Abbey post who are thinking that they have to have people sitting on the floor with BYO utensils.

I have almost nothing planned for this weekend, so costs should be low.

Dinner and a movie tonight: $40.
Groceries: $20.
And I should probably buy a book of bus tickets: $30.

So, $90 total. Unless I buy running shoes, then $190ish.
