$50 for a pair of Fit Flops from Alamo Shoes during Midsommarfest on Sunday. They were 20% off during Midsommarfest, and I had a gift card for Alamo Shoes (a birthday present from the rest of the staff…they know the way to my heart), so I only ended up spending about $25 out of pocket. I’m really excited to break them in (the upper is black patent leather so they’re still a bit still), but they have one of the most comfortable footbeds I’ve felt in a long time!

Events during Week 3 and preparations for Midsommarfest during Week 4 of the 20/20 Challenge derailed the Uncle Jason Project. With the 2nd birthday party for my niece and nephew looming on Saturday, and with Father’s Day the next day, Uncle (and son, and brother) Jay had some work to do! First the wee ones. I stopped by Green Genes and picked up a Foogo leakproof bottle with straw (one pink, one blue) for $18.99 each. I then headed to Women & Children First and bought a copy of ‘Llama Llama Red Pajama’ by Anna Dewdney ($16.99 – thanks for the suggestion Jill!). While I was there, I bought a couple of Father’s Day cards ($3) for my brother and my dad and a copy of The Omnivore’s Dilemma by Michael Pollan ($15) for my dad. Realizing that was not the most exciting Father’s Day gift, I once again stopped at In Fine Spirits and got him a bottle of the Arcane Cellar’s 2008 Pinot Gris Rose ($19.99) that I wrote about from Week 4 and bottle of El Dorado rum ($18.99) for my brother. He has two year old twins, so I figured he would appreciate a tropical drink after certain fussy children finally go to bed. Having more than met my 20 buck challenge for the week alas I was out of money and did not get to Toys Et Cetera, so I will need to stop in there at some point this summer for a reprise of the Uncle Jason Project.

$70 for my post-Midsommarfest massage: Thank you Serendipity Massage Therapy for getting me back on my feet (and back to sanity)! Also, given that right after Midsommarfest, errands such as going to the grocery store have all the appeal of dental surgery, I got lunch from Aville restaurants pretty much every day last week. Thank you Kopi, Hueys, Piatto Pronto, and Taste of Heaven!
