This morning my carpooler gave me $10 -- off it goes to my Extra Monies fund.

After work today I stopped and got gas.
On August 1, my odomoter was: 104,333
Today, my odomoter was: 104,601
That is a difference of 268 miles
I bought 9.382 gallons on Aug. 1.
Today, I bought 8.135 gallons.
A difference of: 1.247 gallons
So . . my gas mileage is 268/8135 =~31mpg
Am I figuring this correctly?
Gas was $3.62/gallon for a total of $29.52

I stopped by the library today - dropped off items and picked up some more. I unfortunately had forgotten to take two books which were due today with me - so I'll get them in tomorrow on the way home from church. $.70 fine.
One of the books I had to return today was my Vegetarian Slow Cooker book. I made copies of 6 of the recipes that I may want to try.

Last night I made a start on my Shape It Up weekend by doing a trash run and a dish run.
So far tonight, all I've accomplished was actually eating one of the Veggie Bean Burgers I made a couple weeks ago (and froze!) to see if it was edible enough to include in my meal plans. It was.
I think #9 is calling my name quite loudly right now. I did make some progress in my plan . . . Hello? Stephanie? Yep I guess I'll be checking out your latest adventure here shortly.

I got an email today from the person who bought the Brita pitcher - she'd picked it up from the PO this morning. She was so happy to have gotten it so fast. I guess I can't begrudge the extra shipping cost (and reduced profit) too much. ;D
Extra $, Gas, etc.
