I tie it into work. Go to the Courthouse- go to the Quilt shop. They are having a sale this week. Went yesterday, bought some stuff to compliment what I have. Needed some fat quarters to make a quilt, bought a 1/2 yard and I'll make 2. Pulled out a gift cert., some cash I was stashing and wrote a check for the balance and I was good- no credit card use for this girl.
And it was about 1 mile from the Courthouse so the gas use was minimal. But my happiness level increased greatly.
