It Isn't Always Easy

I'm in one of those moods where I REALLY want to spend an evening in Des Moines going from store to store, picking out new clothes for winter for all of us, buying fancy Christmas presents for friends and relatives, taking the boys to buy indoor soccer shoes (I wasn't aware these even existed), then going to a nice restaurant.

We used to do this at least once a month. It would end up being around a $400 night.

We don't do that anymore. Not that I could even make myself do that anymore, but I sure do miss those trips.
