Turkey Tuesday…& Wednesday, oh what the heck, Turkey until it's gone and a chocolate chip cookie!

 The turkey turned out great!  the nice thing about turkey is, you can make a ton of left over meals with it, like turkey tetrazini and turkey pot pie.  I have had turkey for dinner and lunch the last couple of days.  Last night we made a box pizza.  While at lunch the other day, my friend Susan was eating one of the cafeteria's chocolate chip cookies.  Anyway, they are amazing.  I told her the first thing I am buying after the challenge is one of those cookies.  So she gave me a piece.  Thanks Susan!!

Our spending so far goes like this:
$10.71- medicine
$43.00 hair cut ( I postponed from Sept to Oct because of my neighborhood garage sale. and my hair dresser only works on Saturdays)
$41.35 auto fuel ( I expect this will be higher because my oldest hasn't recorded hers yet and my car and the youngest's car both need to be filled soon)
$ 9.80 stamps
$ 2.58 bread ( before he bought bread, they ate all the bread with the sandwich meat and whatever including, hot dog and hamburger buns. )
$ 20.17 school book
$ 20.00 dent school house. (my youngest went with her squad from the band.  They don't get a lot of free time to do these things and she paid with her own money.)
The largest expense is $ 109.00, and this is for a clarinet lesson for my youngest with the principal player of the CSO.  My daughter was selected to the CSYO and has a very large solo for E Flat clarinet.  E flat is a bit tricky and she did not own one, she borrowed one for the audition.  Much to our great surprise, she was selected and now she needs some lessons to help her with the part.  She worked with the CSO clarinetist.  He is probably the "best E Flat clarinetist around"  Her part is Shostakovich symphony number 5.  If you listen to it on you tube its almost an hour long.  Check out the second movement.  Expensive, but necessary to her success.  All this for a total of $256.61.  Hopefully, the next weeks won't be so expensive.  We did just get an email from the CSYO saying that the girls had to get concert dresses.  That's $55.00.  I will be paying for that on Sunday.
