On Friday Estimate

Well, I've already spent $19 on Star Trek tickets, but I have a free drink on my Starbucks card for tomorrow. I'm hoping to spend $0-12 real time dollars this weekend, and will probably only buy some Prosecco I promised for a friend. But I am planning a Pinterest party for my birthday next month, so I might spent $90 on supplies from Amazon? I told my husband that I was going to start stockpiling supplies for the party, and he said, why don't you just save up your money and buy them in June? And I said, because I can't actually save up money so I need to buy the things I need now, so I don't spend the money on something else. And he told me that is crazy. And I said, this is why you have to pay our rent.

@Carlos.Xavier Holla at Gatsby weekend. I am going to a matinee ($8) and will probably buy some candy at Target ($3). Will maybe charge a bottle of Prosecco for a friend as thanks for making me canoli cupcakes ($9). Will feel infinite guilt for not buying my mom a mother's day gift ($0)

On I Finally Internalized All Those Cheap Living in NYC Tips

@Bill Fostex So you are saying I should not call out my coworkers who bring 3 bottles of soda to our potluck lunches? I was really hoping there was a magic saying to make these people feel terrible about themselves while maintaining moral high ground.

On Can You Wear a Cocktail Dress to Work?

@blair Me too. But also it's now 5pm, and my coworkers wear flip flops. So whatever I guess.

On Friday Estimate

It's Cinco de Mayo, so while I want to say $0, it will probably be more like $20-30, depending on how many margaritas and nachos I opt for.
