Various Expenses and Spring Break Downturn

March 16th, 2011 at 02:37 am

Today's various expenses included a very large cup of coffee to get me through the day, dog grooming (overdue!), and our newest expense, piano lessons for DD. I'm hoping she enjoys them. My DH has a good musical ear, but I hated piano lessons, though I love music. I topped off my gas tank at $3.42/gallon and made a big Tex-Mex casserole for dinner.

My very informal and unscientific poll reveals a lot about the economy. Of my 100 day-class students, only about 6 or 7 are going anywhere on their breaks. Everyone else is broke, going home, or staying around to work extra hours. Used to be that more than 1/3 of them went somewhere. I suspect that their parents are all hurting a bit, and so are they. One told me she was very excited about getting her hair cut because she'd put it off until she got paid! It's not as fun to be 20 as it used to be...


Tomorrow is the first batch of midterms! Break, please hurry !

    I bought a Wahl hair trimmer last Christmas (sale at WAG)so I can REALLY stretch the paid cuts even though I get senior rate at Super Cuts, Great Clips...... Those are up to $10 around here now from $7

    I use the hair trimmer to cut my son's and husband's hair. Definitely worth the investment.
