I hate feeling this way
That was the same for us. We used to go out frequently.

We are also DINK's, even though we always knew how much we were spending to live that way, now that we've stopped, we don't know go out as much anymore.

Good for our waistlines and wallets.

Same with us. I doubt we'll ever go back to big lunches at restaurants. Wifey especially is adamant about keeping the weight she's lost off permanently. And our checking account is in very good shape. When life does return to normal, we'll have plenty of resources for a really nice vacation or two.

My M3 seems to have confused time zone software - it thinks we changed back to daylight savings recently and put the clock forward an hour. Does the same in October too - it's wrong for about a week each time.

Definitely more conservative, if that's what you're looking for. Hopefully it was.

I ordered Long Beach Blue but chickened out and changed to Donington Grey Metallic. I do look at the LBB with envy but feel I made the right choice. I think I would have tired of the “loud” LBB. Plus it screams pull me over.

I'd comment about how long it's been but my dad used to say, never spit up in the air. I'll leave it at that.

Yes, the tax-man-in-the-cute-uniform does seem to give me extra attention, but I can't let the fuzz ruin my style!

I have well over 100 shirts that I like, I wear & fit me. I have maybe 30-35 pairs of pants & shorts to wear them with because I have a rough time finding pants that fit me
