Do you bring or buy your lunch during the work week? How much money do you spend on food consumed during working hours?

(I was amused by this question because I *just* finished updating my restaurant review blog.)

During the week I usually bring my lunch.  Rob and I figured out one time that we'd spent about 25% of our disposable income on eating out -- and a large portion of that on a particular Indian restaurant we loved.  That notion and a growing list of places we like in Delaware are what gave me the incentive to create the DelawareDiner blog.  In an effort to, I don't know... keep a ROOF over our heads, however, I've been keeping my lunches light and portable of late.  During working hours, the money I spend is generally less than $3 a day.

QotD: Who is the very first friend you ever had?  Are you still in touch?

The first ones I can remember are Jay and Jennifer.  Jay lived in my neighborhood and went to my school, and we were best buddies until I left RI.  We do still talk from time to time.  Jennifer, on the other hand, lived far away and I only got to see her when she visited her grandparents, who lived two doors down.  I remember she and I would listen to Barry Manilow records in her grandparent's basement and dance to Copa Cabana.

It's a good thing I went to military school later on, or I might just be wearing a boa now and parading around mouthing the words to other people's songs. =P
