J is on a business trip in NYC until Friday, so I'm living the bachelorette lifestyle. Not that it's terribly exciting, I was hardly a Sex and the City type in my single days. About the only thing I do that I don't do when he's here is eat lots of garlic and onions. Mmmmm...

Tonight I had pasta with roasted sweet potatoes and onions, with some olive oil, rosemary and parmesan. It's my favorite meal these days; I'll be sad when sweet potatoes go out of season. As usual, I made enough so that I have lunch for tomorrow. I'm going to try to be good and bring my lunch every day, even if it's just pb&j (as it was today).

Not much going on on the money front. I'm continuing to fight off gloomy feelings about the impact of the holiday season on our finances. I will be glad when it's January 2 and things are back to normal. Maybe I'd feel better if I made some goals for the next year--I'll try that.
