MORE NICE / LOVE

Inspired by the Dills, Ben agreed to take a shot with me at "No-Spending-Month" for February. With all the new books/new semester schedule (i.e. drive-thrus!), it felt like we were spending a lot, here's hoping February will balance it out? I've enjoyed being resourceful, but I'm a tight-wad anyway, so was bound to enjoy it. *I admit we've given in here and there, but it is only our first try...

On Saturday night, we spent hours at the studio until we were kicked out at 11. I still wanted to work on designs on the laptop, and Ben didn't feel like sleeping yet either. The No-Spending idea for late-night fun was the free monthly movie we get from Ben's Blockbuster Rewards program. Ben was so sure that Blockbuster would be closed... (at 11:15 on a Saturday night?) but luckily he trusted me, and we were in-and-out with another disc of The Office episodes. On the way home, Ben tempted, "ya can't watch a movie without a treat!" I think I whined in pain, because I agreed! We don't really have snacks/treats lately at home, but I think we were planning on a few chocolate chips from the Ghirardelli bag.

But we walked in the "foyer" to see a surprise at the foot of our door:
