How Do We Do It?
Monday, August 11, 2008
Spent a lovely 4-day wkend at Channel Is. Harbor on the boat. They don't call it the gateway to the "American Riviera" for nothing!
Played our music for Harbor Days on Sat. & I got a lovely travel bag - now it's playing the concertina for lunch and a bag and a lovely day outside!
Got some more nice headbands at the Dollar Tree (they are back in style, you know - ) and stocked up on tissue packages....
On the way home, I asked my husband how he thought we were doing vis a vis my pennypinching - what were my successes? To my surprise he replied "in recreation"- meaning our boat weekends and so on. True. Our excursion up the coast cost us at leat $500 - and 1/2 of that was lodging because we just weren't up for camping - Staying on the boat is a happy medium for us - Quasi camping! And a heater at night if we need it....
I think I would add wardrobe/makeup and beauty supplies/books!
Have always spent more on those things than someone truly austere would do - but I AM an actress and performer in HOLLYWOOD - so I need prof. wardrobe and generally not to look too ratty! And sortta keep up with the trends....And within my budget limitations I don't think I do too badly - and I always seem to have something nice to wear for almost any occasion - because who knows what will turn up!

Boats can be good for the recreation budget!
