March 2. I didn't spend any money yesterday, but I have to go to Target today to pick up a prescription. I'll get a gallon of milk while I'm there, in order to avoid another trip to the grocerystore, but that ought to be it. Circumstances are changing a little bit, and this month it seems even more important to have a lot of cash on hand, so I may be more motivated than I was in Feb.

I began March by bringing my sewing machine, and bags full of things to be mended or altered, upstairs. I basically got three new pairs of pants & a sweater yesterday! I have two more to do today, at which point I'm finished with hand sewing, and then I can move on to the few things that should be done by machine.

I have the ingredients for stuffed green peppers for dinner tonight, and for lunch I'm planning to have a fruit smoothie. As far as wasteful food I cannot seem to stop buying, my weakness is frappuccino. I end up feeling that it gives me a mental break which I enjoy taking, and then it gives me energy. Some of the substitutes I've tried are simply not cutting it. It's even too sunny and relatively warm for hot cappuccino! What to do about this? I can buy them by the case, and they're about $1 each, but if I drink three a day-- well, the calories are a problem, if not the $3!

Okay, well. March is off to a good start, but I've got to get moving. Good luck!
