I started working this morning and about 9:00 I went to fill out my timecard for the week. I noticed I have 40 hours of vacation left, but I'm only scheduled to take 3 days before the end of the year. We have to use it or lose it. Anyways I'm waiting for other people to do work before I can do my work and was just doing fill in type work updating documents, cleaning out mail, etc, until it was ready so I called my boss and asked for today off, since I'm waiting anyways. So I got an unexpected vacation day. I still have 4 to take before the end of the year.

The sun was shining and the weather got up to 37 so I went into town. Met my parents for lunch at Ruby Tuesday's and spent $9.56. I love their salad and baked potato combo. That's pretty much what I order every time I'm there. I'll get 4% back on my CC for eating there. Then we went to Borders and I showed my mom a Dragon calendar I want and gave her a 15% off coupon that I had printed off from the internet. I have lots of dragons, unicorns, griffins, gargoyles etc in my house. I especially like dragons.

Total spent this month = $176.05

I went to the big library in town and picked up some books on tape, a magazine and some reading books.

Then went to the local libary and picked up my holds.

Went to the dollar store and spent $7.49 on gift bags and wrapping paper. I have a lot of big gifts this year and don't want to wrap them so got 2 big plastic gift bags for $1 ea and 2 big paper gift bags for $1 each and then some wrapping paper that I can use for some of the smaller items.

I got a $10 refund from Media Play in the mail.

Finished reading my book Pete by Leigh Greenwood. Romance. Ok, nothing special.
