Depending on how you want to parse out our latest credit card bill - which was three times the normal monthly total (!)* - LD and I either spent our $1200 on groceries, gas and other essential miscellany; a fraction of my dental bills (ten years of avoiding the dentist will land you roughly four hours in the chair to the tune of about $2800, after insurance); or Kaylee’s dental work, which was actually just under $1200. If we hadn’t spent the money on Kaylee’s teeth…well, Ralphie’s scheduled for an extraction next month as well.

I had hoped to either save it or make an extra mortgage payment, but no go.

At no time did the thought of squandering it on luxury goods cross our minds.

* On the plus side, the Amazon points I earned through those crazy credit card charges will buy a small library. Ripley, here I come!
