Give Me Back My Five Bucks

So here is my official June budget. It’s changed a bit from my potential June budget. Now that all of the hoopla is over, I’m really hoping to settle into a routine. I’m finally moved in (no more take-out/food on-the-go), the car issues have been dealt with, and we have no major purchases coming up. BF’s parents are coming into town, and we’ll probably go out for dinner with them at least once. But that can be worked into the Food budget. Personal Care is $50 because I need a hair cut, which will cost me about $40. Entertainment is … Continue reading →

Last night we moved a car load of things back to our place, but today after work we have to get everything done. BF has borrowed a van, so we can get all the big items over no problem. But I still need to pack up the kitchen, and then we’ll have to clean and vacuum before we’re ready to leave. Then I have to drop the keys off at my landlord’s house. BF said that we can do it all today for sure, so I didn’t bother asking my landlord if I could have Saturday before giving him the … Continue reading →

My boss from my PT job back home gave me a $25 Subway gift card. He gave everyone one to thank them for all of their hard work, but since I haven’t been home for a while and I haven’t worked since March, I didn’t get mine until yesterday. $25 = 5 meals! I usually get the veggie sub because I don’t eat processed deli meat. Anyway, I treat myself to lunch out once per pay period, so now I can use my Subway card instead. Which is good, because I usually just pop across the street to this burger … Continue reading →

I’m glad I held off on getting a netbook. After much research, I really wanted the Asus Eee PC 1000HE. But, after I took one look at the new LG X120 over the weekend, I am IN LOVE. It is fricking gorgeous, and has all the specs as the Eee PC I wanted, plus more. It’s slimmer and lighter, way way way better looking, has a “Smart On” feature which lets you load the computer in a matter of seconds after pressing the on button, without the need to wait for Windows XP to load, and seems to be more … Continue reading →

Yesterday I brought about 5 boxes of stuff with me from my old apartment, and spent the rest of the day cleaning, organizing and doing laundry. I’m pleased with the way our place is coming together, but there is just so much crap everywhere. BF’s stuff is piled up in every corner. I don’t know where any of it is going to fit! Most of my things that I’ve brought over are put away, but that doesn’t include the stuff in my old apartment. I’ll basically have to pack up my entire kitchen since I really won’t be using any … Continue reading →
