Give Me Back My Five Bucks

I’m very much considering selling our Wii and all of our accessories. We just don’t play it very often anymore, and I don’t really have any room to do my exercises with their fitness games (our place really is that small). Seems like a shame, because it’s such a fun thing to have around. We could keep it around, but BF and I both think that getting a Playstation 3 is a better idea, especially now that they’ve introduced Move (which I hear is better than the Wii). The Playstation is great because it would also be our Blu-ray player, … Continue reading →

Tomorrow BF and I are going to the Canucks/Ducks pre-season game with my sister and her BF. We always try to catch at least one pre-season game, but this is my sister’s first NHL game ever. I think her BF went to one game last year. We’re sitting up in the nosebleeds as usual. :) Before the game, we want to grab some dinner downtown.

Well I had budgeted $200 for my friend’s bachelorette party, and here’s what I ended up spending: $14 ferry ride $130 dinner & drinks – We went to Bard & Banker, which isn’t cheap but offers great atmosphere and the bride really likes the place. There were a total of 8 people at the dinner. I ended up paying for all of her drinks and her dinner, and nobody else even offered to pitch in. Let me first say that I have absolutely no problem paying for her dinner/drinks, but most of the people at the dinner weren’t even going … Continue reading →

Well this weekend I’m going back to my hometown for my friend’s bachelorette party. I feel bad because there aren’t that many people going, and at the end of the night it could end up just being me that’s left! It’s too bad, but it was definitely planned last minute. On Sunday I’m heading back to Vancouver and BF and I are going to Bodyworlds with some of his friends. The admission was kind of expensive ($26 for adults, $22 for students), and it prompted me to have a chat about money with BF. Going forward, we’re both going to … Continue reading →
