Day 7: Liberty Science Center

Money Spent: $20.93
Total amount on food: $3.93

This turned out to be a really bad day for my mission and a really good day for me.  I hope this correlation is a coincidence.

Breakfast was potatoes sliced as thinly as I possibly could, seasoned with garlic Season All, and cooked on a frying pan with a little olive oil.  I also had some of those delicious crackers with almond butter and jelly. We woke up a little late, so this tied us over.  I also got a coffee for $1.50 (I’d been craving it harddd). 

I really need to buy a coffee maker for Mike’s – I think it will be a worthy investment so my coffee cravings don’t take over.  I have, as you may have noticed, cut coffee out of my diet during the week.

Since it’s Mike’s birthday weekend, I decided I’d splurge a little to make sure he had the best weekend possible.  Our friend Caryn told us about the Hubble movie playing at the Liberty Science Center IMAX Dome, so we went to Jersey.  Transportation was about $3.00, admission to the museum was free (Caryn had passes), and the movie and simulation we did was $14.00.  WORTH IT. 

Yup, we're dorks

When we got home, we made couscous with my pasta sauce (I smothered mine in cheese, Mike had his plain).  I was VERY unhappy to find that the chicken breast in the fridge went bad (I had one in the freezer, too).  I’ll have to remember to keep my chicken in the freezer and just thaw it in the morning when we’re going to eat it at night.

Mike made some more smoothies for dessert (or “poop shakes” as I like to call them, thanks to the fiber powder)

It was one of the best days I’ve had in a LONG time, so I’m feeling like the cost was worth it.  Hopefully I’ll be able to find better ways of entertaining myself for cheaper.
