My brother sent me an email the other day…to say hi. I thought that was awfully suspicious and immediately replied with an inquiry about his mental state of mind. Come to find out, he really was just saying hi. So I responded again with a little blurb about what I’ve been up to lately, one such item being that Tom and I both recently got promoted. His reply? “The way I read things on your blog, you needed it seeing how it appears that every waking moment is either shopping or eating out. That’s gotta cost a bit in the end.” This caught me off guard for a couple reasons. 1) He reads my blog? 2) I didn’t know that was the vibe my blog was giving out, and 3) No I don’t just shop and eat out! Crap. Yes I do.
Money can keep a person up at night tossing and turning with worry, regret and fear. It can also be the demise of an otherwise loving relationship. Luckily for Tom and me its neither of those things (knock on wood). We’ll be the first to admit we don’t have it all figured out, we do what we I think is best (pay ourselves first, blah, blah, blah) and then, yes, we go shopping and eat out. And who says I don’t have a hobby?
