phew ... what a week
really i didnt do anything much at all. went to the gym a few times. went tanning once. only had fast food one time, yipee for me. i was sick this week so i was off and on at work. mostly off and even when i was on i think i was on neopets or msn or something.
anyhow, i am getting pretty nervous that we planned a trip to vegas at the same time as christmas. i blame my parents. why did they have me in december? well i am learning my lesson this year. trying to save for spending cash $500-600 USD AND buy christmas presents (budget of $2000) is really just not working out for my day to day life.
how christmas and vegas are ruining my life:
a. can't afford to go to starbucks every morning (though this is partially due to the tainted water).
b. I can't go out for the next two weekends and I got a lot of good invites.
c. Instead of buying my favourite boneless skinless chicken breasts I can only afford bone-in chicken. so unfair.
d. Darin says no more restaurant dinners until JANUARY!!!!! I cannot live on the food prepared soley by myself.
e. I can't buy all the good stuff that Avon keeps sending me booklets for. I can only buy products if they are presents for other people. very unfair.
f. ALSO i was planning on losing weight for vegas but because i have been eating at home so much i apparently eat like 12 bags of chips a day and actually gained weight.
i am going to put up my xmas tree on november 3oth. oh and um i think someone broke into my computer and blogged for me last weekend. rofl rofl. gross.

$2000 for Christmas presents? Sheesh, that's probably a good place to look at re-budgeting. Yeah, it's nice to buy loads of gifts to pimp out your Christmas list, but it really isn't what matters during the holidays. Cheesy, I know, but true. I'm stuck saving for a trip this year too, and Simon and I have a $50 cap on our birthday and xmas prezzies (okay, I cheated and spent 75 on his xmas one), all in all we're probably spending less than $500 on our christmas shopping (if we had a kid we'd double that, but it's still only $1000). So while you're trimming you're tree this weekend, look at trimming your shopping list too. Trust me, spending the money on vacations and food and lovely times with your family will last way longer than the load of crap under the tree. Not that your presents are crap...you know what I mean. Oh, and if you don't cut back, put me down for a pony.

btw: I meant "your tree" not "you're tree". Don't you just hate illiterate people?

i know its awful. darin and i have a $600 limit. i am getting a ring and he is getting xbox 360. $200 for ashleen, $200 darins mom, $200 my dad, and everyone else is capped at $50. But there are a lot of "everyone elses."
i have even just about quit smoking to be able to afford all these presents. its crazy man.
if i win more than $1000 in vegas, i will buy you a pony. at least a nice poster of a pony to hang above your bed.

A ring? Of the engagement variety?
