Oh...I also wanted to let everyone know that if they have not signed up at http://www.groupon.com/, do so immediately. All they ask for is your email address and your city, and they email you a fantastic local deal everyday that you can take advantage of (they offer the deal, you purchase it, and once a specific number of people have committed to doing so, "the deal is on" and you get your groupon). It can range from things like $10 for $20 worth of items at a bakery to 70% off boot camp to a huge discount on a spa day. It is great for people who don't get out much because they are on a tight budget.
Note: Best to keep a lookout for something you may be spending money on anyway (your favorite restaurant perhaps), rather than the mistake I made of thinking $25 for $149 worth of ballroom dancing lessons would be a fantastic idea. I am sure for someone who is not a single parent and has time to have leisure activities, that would have been a fantastic deal, but as it stands, I really just donated $25 to the dance studio (although they were nice enough to say I could use the $25 I spent to to pay my daughter's preschool ballet registration for next fall, so it may not be a total loss).
