walked with mom for 45 min. It was completely dark by the time we were done around 8:30. It's already starting to get dark earlier.

Went to the grocery store this morning and spent $28.34 saved 25% according to the reciept.

Next stop was Media Play were I got the rest of my youngest neices b-day presents. 2 computer games, 1 book and 1 electronic talking thing that she wanted. Don't ask me what it is, I just bought it Smile Spent $93.39 That money comes from my gift fund and I'll get 19% back. 15% from the triple points replay membership and 4% from my CC.

Then I went to Longs and got a b-day present for a friends child plus some of her xmas present. Also picked up 3 containers to store food in. Had a $5.00 off coupon and spent $40.68 total. $26.21 was for the gifts and $14.47 was for the containers.

Total spent so far this month = 162.81
Total on gifts = $119.11

I read the library book Dead Beat by Jim Butcher Sci Fi. Really good story. This is the latest in a whole series that's very different and interesting. It goes on my books to buy when it comes out in paperback list. Smile
