Here is the second ever MONDAY MONEY CHECK UP! It’s a little thing I started two weeks ago to share weekly updates on my money and thoughts. Of course last week I decided to share some other news, but here I am bringing it back.
1. The most I’ve spent this last week was on car insurance: $180 for half of my six-month payment. The second half is due in a couple of weeks.
2. Today I feel very hyper-aware of my money. It may have something to do with the wedding budget I put together the other day! More details on that later. ;)
3. Money can’t buy happiness. One free/inexpensive thing I did last week that made me happy was take a hike with J around a gorgeous lake. :)
4. I will consider this week a success if I have a fantastic time on my trip to Austin! J and I leave Thursday for a five day weekend! Woohoo for mini summer vacations.
5. One movie that always me think of the summer is The Babysitter’s Club. My sisters and I wanted to start a babysitter’s club camp one summer but that idea was better for the movies.

I did my first today. :) http://savernotaspender.blogspot.com/2010/08/monday-money-check-up-august-16th.html
I like this.
On Mondays I always run a Quicken report to answer #1 (although its Tues. and I haven’t done it this week!) but I like the other questions.
I’m going to add this to my Monday ritual, along with cleaning out the chicken coop.
Summer Movie- Mystic Pizza with Julie Roberts and Lili Taylor
This is almost completely unrelated to this post, but I never posted a while back when you were looking for tips for Austin. So I’m just going to throw out one. Eat at the Hula Hut. It’s good Tex Mex, delicious drinks, great location for hanging out (right on the water), and seriously has the best Tres Leches on the planet. It’s one of my favorite places when I go to Austin (I live in Houston).
