Last night the Ogre worked late, so I thought I would surprise him by doing the budget for the month BY MYSELF.

This is huge for me, by the way. I have trouble with things involving numbers. I have to use my fingers to add and subtract. Math is hard.

Luckily I remembered that calculators exist, and spent the evening virtuously (not to mention selflessly) working on the budget for the month. By the time the Ogre got home it was all done, checks were written and waiting to be mailed, payments were scheduled, savings were allocated, and I was like
