$20
So we all know that being out on your own for the first time is hard. Money never seems to be available, you are always scraping the bottom of the barrel. For the past week I have literally been eating whatever is not encrusted with freezer burn and the least stale crackers I can find. Last Friday my lunch was edamame and cheez-its. However, on Sunday I finally went down to the mailbox and got my mail. My mom had sent me my absentee ballot and some other odds and ends. Among all the envelopes was a $20 bill with a post-it that said “Fun Money!” I cried, and promptly went out and bought a bacon cheeseburger. Thanks mom!

Mmm…bacon.
It’s been a few years since anyone sent me “fun money,” (though I remember those days quite fondly), but Kim and I have to scrape the back of the pantry shelves fairly regularly looking for something to eat. Of course, quite often it’s because we’re too lazy to go to the store…
I will admit that edamame is a vital part of my diet—it served as my dinner tonight!
