Extreme NoSpendRemember how I did NoSpend November last year? Well this year I decided to try it in December. There are a couple of reasons for this shift. First of all I had a vacation planned already for November so I didn't want to skimp on it since vacations for me are so rare. The other reason is that while last November was difficult (primarily because of football season) it wasn't as big a stretch to pull off. Christmas is a big spending time and I found that instead of really saving on holiday spending, it could have been differed. So is it really no spend? Tough call. So in that spirit I modified one rule from 09. No Christmas stockpiling.
No Change November sprung as a result of things being moved to December. I can now compare it to December as well as last November. I also get a chance to see if I am able to track spending when it is happening all the time. Lets see how it all goes! Also of note, I am changing how I list acquired and consumed. If I acquired a cookie and ate it all in the same day, it will only be listed in consumed. Acquired will only be present for things that make it to the end of the day. The exception to this is cashflow. [If you want to see them you can display the complete rules here]

Day 17: Cooking Show
It's a week before christmas and it still hasn't sunk in for me yet. I went to Rivermill for lunch and had a Tosatada burger. Always a favorite. Most everyone seemed to be in a haze today. I think the snow shutting things down yesterday made for a lack of motivation to be productive. Everyone is going to have a short week next week so that didn't make it any easier to show up. After work I drove out to the store and picked up eggnog pie ingredients. I didn't make it right away when I came home and that turned out to be a mistake. I stayed up later than I wanted because I tried to shoot video of the pie making process, which about doubled what it usually took. On the upside I have a new video to entertain you with. Though I'll be spending some time on Saturday editing it before it gets posted.
