I make a policy of always going to stuff like that. Mostly it's worth it just to be more social, even if the event in question isn't my thing.

Because books.
I love the ballet! Damn, I would go in a heartbeat.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have meant to do that in my head, but still find excuses! OK, I'm going.

I am staying in all weekend to avoid spending money. Clio's extraction & cleaning is going to cost in the $800 ballpark.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I so totally feel your pain Sue. Last weekend was not cheap, even before I killed my back up hard drive.

Last Saturday I had an extra $500 in the bank. Since then the transmission pan on my car got replaced and I had a trifecta of medical weirdness. The fates wait for us to go "Yeah, this is OK, I think I can relax now."

My friend Debra swears there's a Detect Money chip that goes off in her car every time she gets an extra payment from somewhere.

I long for the day when I can get season tickets to see the ballet, opera, or concert music again.

I swear my life has one of those. Every time I feel like I am actually starting to save money, something expensive happens. I also have a few repairs to do around the house that will be in the $1500-2000 range. OTOH, I don't usually carry a lot of debt (other than my mortgage), so I should probably count myself lucky.
