Buzz and I are living small these days.  On the advice of a relative who is living our dream, we have spent the last month living “like we have 50 cents in the bank”.

Or trying to, at least.

There were some unforeseen expenses and, honestly, how long must I go without wine?  So, now that I finished our finances for the month, we took a look back.  We overspent what I had budgeted but it was a good start.

We have now further adjusted our attitude.

We are now going to live like we have 5 cents in the bank.  Woo hoo!  Party time!!

Today’s word of the day is noisome.

noisome \NOY-sum\, adjective:
1. Noxious; harmful; unwholesome.
2. Offensive to the smell or other senses; disgusting.

I really would have thought that “offensive to the hearing” would have been first on the list.  Doesn’t it sound like it should have to do with noise??  Hmm.

Why don’t I like peanut butter and bananas?

Together, I mean.  I love both of them separately.

But everyone I know likes peanut butter and bananas.  I wonder what gene I am missing…
