Suggested Writing
Last year, I participated in NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month) and this year they have done something different. For every month, in order to encourage people to post to their blogs, they have suggested topics for every month. For the most part they haven't been things that I have been interested in or it hasn't been feasible for me to post. (I'll admit it, sometimes I'm just lazy.)
For this month, the good people at NaBloPoMo have suggested two things. The first is to write about things that make you laugh. This is an excellent suggestion but it was nowhere near as intriguing as the second option for this month. The second option is "five dollar lunch". They suggest that you spend five dollars on lunch for the first twenty-one days of the month and then blog about what you've been spending your money on. Five dollars doesn't go as far you it used to, but there are a number of places that have been offering five dollar deals (must notably places like Subway and Quiznos. Or perhaps, those are just the places that I have heard commercials for.)
Here is the problem: I am on a budget. And, spending thirty-five dollars of my food budget on just lunch is more than I'm willing to spare. Or rather, more than I'm willing to spend. I'm going to be telling you about the creative and wonderful things that I'm putting together for under two dollars and forty cents. This is going to be interesting.
