It's time for another episode of Good Idea, Bad Idea.

Good idea: bringing a bottle of wine to your friends' for a party.

Bad idea: bringing numerous bottles of wine to your friends' for a party.

Especially when it didn't occur to me last night that I'm on this whole budget thing now, with limited funds.

In short, I just used a week's worth of my food budget for alcohol, and now I have about twenty dollars left to do me until next pay day. I'm going to have to... cook. And buy things at a grocery store instead of ordering things in.

And I'm really going to have to quit smoking.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, I'm just musing about it because it's all new to me. I'm actually finding it pretty interesting. I don't know how to go to the grocery store. Obviously, I need to learn, which didn't occur to me until now. Thus, amused. I'm looking forward to it.

Can someone come with me? Teach me the ins and outs of buying food that I prepare myself?

And on the smoking front, I think I should put out a call that if anyone sees me smoking they should punch me in the face. That'll be some incentive for me not to smoke!

I'd be up for tagging along, if you don't mind. I'm not the best cook in the world but I can hold my own.

Don't think I could abide punching you in the face, though, me or anyone else for that matter.

[x-adrienne.livejournal.com]

Well, that's more than I can do at this point, so your help would be appreciated.

I think if anyone really did punch me in the face, I'd have to kick their ass...

[x-cannonball.livejournal.com]

Alright then, it's a done deal. I'm ready to go whenever you are.

[x-celsis.livejournal.com]

I could make it so every time you smoked you punched yourself in your own face?

Would that help, sister mine?

[x-m.livejournal.com]

You're a kind and caring sister.

[x-adrienne.livejournal.com]

Isn't she just? I'm so lucky.

Tough love. In the Frost Family it's not just a saying. More a way of life.

[x-m.livejournal.com]

One of the many reasons I both admire and fear you, my dear.

[x-adrienne.livejournal.com]

That would help immensely! Thank you so much!

Oh, but wait, wouldn't that violate your policy on the Law of Consequences being in place for a reason? Wouldn't it be me taking a cop-out?

[x-celsis.livejournal.com]

I prefer to think of it as making the Consequences a little more obvious and upfront.

If somewhat socially embarrassing.

I only suggest it because I care. Really.

Welcome to the world of the poor people. (Not that I really am anymore, but it's a mindset.)

I can teach you how to shop on a budget if you still need it.

[x-adrienne.livejournal.com]

I am up for whatever lessons you have to offer.

[x-m.livejournal.com]

Oh, baby girl, that is just not okay.

You, me, dinner in town? My shout.

[x-adrienne.livejournal.com]

I'd love that!
