I don't like eggs benedict

Had an average mother's day brunch at a place called So.Cial. I realized I don't like eggs Benedict; I hadn't had them before and I just thought it would be some great sauce on poached eggs on an english muffin. It was gross. And the potatoes were overcooked. Very disappointing.

Post-lunch I went with my mother to the Lululemon on 4th ave and she used a gift certificate the sibs gave her for her birthday. We picked out a nice pair of capris that I am sure she will love and wear daily like every other female in Vancouver. After I saw her off I went and shopped for wines; got the great blend Deaf Galah that I had at Gotham earlier in the week. It was awesome and I am psyched for the day I break that bottle open. At $30 a bottle that won't be anytime soon.

My financial diet is not going well. I had this great women's financial support group get together a few weeks ago that should have inspired me to start saving. Instead I bought a gift certificate for a couch (basically a savings because the gift certificate is for $1500 and I got it for $761), a bbq (again, through sales and free gift certificates I got $365 worth of product for $65) and then went on a shopping bonanza in Seattle. I picked up 6 pairs of shoes, a frame for my BA, lululemon pants (cheaper in the states!), 2 bottles of wine, some University gear to show my support as an alumni and makeup from Sephora. Total amount spent was around $700 but I don't really know because when I started to tally I thought I was going to throw up so I stopped. I also went away on two weekend vacations. I ate at a nice steakhouse this week but my date paid so maybe with that and all of the other great deals I am breaking even... Now I am buying wine like there is rumour we are running out of grapes.
