1. Still no mention of our writer ever going to church.
2. I think this is the first mention of our writer leaving the house - except I would presume she leaves to purchase the items she lists each day, but I guess this isn't important enough to mention?
3. I thought it was interesting that she mentions "Bill" bought the eggs, rather than "we" bought eggs. Which I guess is why she doesn't mention the eggs in her daily spending list. According to Wiki-Answers.com the price of a dozen eggs in 1925 was typically .25c, so maybe our writer can't afford $1 out of her daily budget.
