    Thumbs up NOt Frugal

    but I treated myself out to Chinese today.
    I had to run a errand for my ds today so i went window shopping and then treated myself to lunch.
    I feel so much calmer now... This has been a very rough winter for me and my depression was acting up big time.

    You deserved it....we all have to treat ourselves to stay on track with all of our frugalness (is that a word??). Just say it was a mental health treat.

    Sounds like a great treat and I hope you are starting to feel happier now that spring is making it's appearance. I know my mood has been improving every week since the sun has been shining more .

    Thanks everyone,
    I get so depressed during th ewinter because the snow on our hill is sooooo bad the last few years.
    (maybe because I'm not getting younger) lol.
    I was nice to hop in the car yesterday and just get away from everything.
    It did wonders for my spirit.
    ( even ran into my Fiance and he bought me coffee )

    If you treated yourself out to eat and you enjoyed the food then it was well worth it
