Yesterday I found a local liquor stores that carries 12 bottle medleys of local beers.

2 different 12 packs:  Midwest (though I think one was from SF) and Indiana.

I would've gotten both, but it's Frugality Week, so I didn't.

I also had to buy a bottle of wine.  This sort of wine comes in 4 different sizes.

One of those things where the $/oz. drops significantly with every step up in size.

I went with the biggest.  It's like a jug.  I'm not sure what's more Frugal:

Getting exactly how much you need for the occasion at hand, and no more

OR spending the least for the most.  Obviously, I made my call on that.

Previous weeks are keeping their hold.  I'm still finding myself naturally being a bit more outgoing, and I'm reading and focusing on strengths more.  Now when I think of something I don't know that I feel someone may expect me to know, I study up.  And last night I finished 1 of the 2 shoes I'm working on for a particular project.

This whole thing has been so insanely positive.  I should mention that the shoe project is somewhat Frugal of me.

I bought everything necessary to complete the project about a year ago.  All told it cost about $50.  And without finishing the project, that was money down the drain.

Nothing to overcome really.

I bought a bookmark with a stopwatch attached to it.

It's for kids who have to read a certain amount every week.

I'll be using it to time how many pages per minute I read.

I usually look at a book and think that it will take my freetime for 1-3 weeks.

I think if I can figure it out by hours, that'd be far more encouraging.

Specialization Week has been a blast thus far.

Next week:  Frugality

I'm spending some time trying to put some art out.

Reading X-Men is impossible.  Starting at #1 means starting when they weren't exactly enthralling.

Also, the lady is on a bit of a needy kick.  Very much so actually.  Which tends to pull an hour or two out off my schedule.  Hmm.   I need to get her a game boy.

Still, I have a canvas or two prepped to work with, and I'm already doing a lot of reading on things I think will further my specialties.  Fun week.  And yes, still working the easy outgoing stuff.
