Whadaya doin? Me? Paying stupid tax.

Soooo... whadaya doin? Me? Not so much.

We (ok, me) made a stupid mistake and over drafted our trip account. I didn't over spend - it truly was a stupid mistake of monumental proportions. But it cost me.

I don't bounce checks or debits or whatever, so I was shocked - shocked, I say - to find out that my bank charges $35 per overdraft. I was also shocked to find out that 1 small mistake s´could set off a shit storm of monumental proportions. Let's just say that paying overdraft fees ate our sightseeing budget for the week.

Sure, I could transfer money from our home account to cover my stupid tax, but what would that teach my son? It is ok if you screw up because there is more money somewhere? yeah... not the lesson I want him to learn.

So we sit. We are really stuck inside because all week there is anywhere from 50-70% chance of rain and getting stuck somewhere because of a freezing downpour is just something I would rather avoid.

Andre found a copy of Jillian Michaels - 30 Day Shred, so on days that we can't go for our walk, I have that. I might actually do it every day anyway, walk or not.

I have decided that if we are stuck inside all week, I am putting it to good use. I am researching some things that I will tell you more about later.

So... What about you?
