101 things in 1001 days: Day 57

Day 57

Grrr.

Groupon offered a deal for a VA B&B near Charlottesville. Super pretty, includes dinner and breakfast, and is one of my 101 things (number 87). Going to a VA B&B is something I would really like to do, and this is a great deal.

So why the grrr?

We don't have $150 right now. And these are one day only deals. I really cannot justify buying this on our current budget. Being a grown-up sucks sometimes.

I guess there will always be another deal...
