Give Me Back My Five Bucks

BF and I have decided that we’re going to go camping for New Years, just the 2 of us. It’s the perfect opportunity because it’s a long weekend and anywhere we go will most likely be deserted. I’m really excited because last year that’s what we were supposed to do, but then I think we just ended up watching movies at night, and then going snow shoeing on New Year’s Day instead. Which was still nice, but not an adventure. Now we just have to figure out where we want to go. Perhaps the Gulf Islands would be nice, or … Continue reading →

Well my weekend trip to the mall was a fail. Again. It started off well. I had a hair appointment first thing in the morning, and I love my cut. She styled it too poofy, but once I got home and styled it myself, I loved it. Well worth the $63 (including tax & tip). I think I will go back to her again. The salon I last went to by my office ended up costing $50 and I hated the cut (and very much disliked her), so the extra $13 to go back to this stylist is worth it. … Continue reading →

Yay! I just logged into my Adsense and it says that a cheque is being cut for me for $115.98. So that means I can now afford toget my GPS device.

Very stressful. Especially today. I was stuck in traffic for 2.5 hours running an errand (there was a big accident on the highway), and that could have been avoided if I … Continue reading →

I’ve decided to make personalized calendars for some people for Christmas. It’s not very expensive (maybe around $10 each) and I know that they will use it for the entire year. I’m going to make at least 3-4 of them (1 of them will be for me) and will be using an online company. Has anyone ever gotten calendars made online? Any recommended companies, or ones to avoid?

Well thankfully I found my winter coats. But they’ve been stored away for too long, so I’m going to need to get them dry cleaned. Which is good, because BF says that we should get our sleeping bags cleaned as well. So I’ll try to do that this weekend, although I’ll have to research and find a dry cleaners near here. I also really should get my hair cut. I’ve been trying to wait until December, but BF’s company Christmas party is at the end of this month, and I need to get it done before then. I haven’t even … Continue reading →
