WordPress has changed the layout of the back end of my blog. I’m slightly confused. I’m sure that if I’d been reading the posts that have been popping up, I’d have known this. Alas, I did not read, thus I remained unaware.
Grammar is going to England. We hate him. He’s staying in some place outside of London that sounded vaguely like what a Briton would name his penis. I can’t recall the name, so it doesn’t matter. He asked last night if a cock in the hand was worth two in the bush. I told him not to inadvertently flirt with me. He apologized. *sigh* Boys are dumb.
NJ told me today that it’s hard to go into a meeting with a tent in his pants. Huh. Welcome to my world, mofo! Um, minus the tent, but adding the total distraction that having a mind swamped with sex brings on. I haven’t had sex in over four months. I haven’t gone four months without sex since I was sixteen. *double sigh*
Sis emailed me today; there’s a company that will have the much-sought-after WII available on Monday, and could she use my credit card to buy it, and of course she’d put the money on it right away. And WHY don’t you have a credit card of your own? Bad credit, she replied. So I get to pay for the interest so my nephews can have a WII. (granted, I did just put my personal training sessions on my credit card, but it was cheaper than the interest rate charged by the gym.)
In good news, Mom called today. The residue of Grandpa’s estate has come through. I thought it already had, but apparently not. I got a few hundred dollars today that I wasn’t expecting. It was quite a pleasant surprise. As per Chicago’s Rules, I’m going to spend one-third, I’m going to put one-third on my credit card bill, and I’m going to save one-third.
I haven’t been saving nearly as much as I should be, lately. I need to rein in my spending. (she said, immediately after advising she intended to spend one-third of her new-found funds). Granted, I bought a tree, I spent money at the One of a Kind Show last weekend, and Woodstock and I went out for lunch, but I can’t have weekends like that on a regular basis. That’s an entire (big) paycheque from CM gone. I need to watch what I’m doing.
On the other hand, I’m going to be working so much that spending money isn’t going to happen because I’m simply not going to have the time to do it!
Tonight is the first night all week I’ve been home before nine. I plan to put away some of my laundry and read a book and go to bed soon. I resisted buying the Blackberry Bold (which is what I want to spend my money on) tonight. I want one more night to think about it. Based on what The Ex told me the other day, my bill won’t really increase all that much if I switch things around. I looked on the Rogers website tonight; the Bold is selling for something like $400 with a three-year contract. But I have a letter in front of me that guarantees me a cost of $99 if I buy it before December 31. It seems almost stupid not to buy it, now that I’ve seen the “regular” price.
The Bold has all the regular BB features, and it also has a built-in GPS system. I understand you have to pay for that as an extra, but it would save me buying a GPS, which is kinda on the back of my technology list of “wants”. I still want an iPOD though, and I have the feeling that this money means I’m not getting my iPOD for Christmas from my parents. I know we got the money now because Creep needs glasses and because Sis needs it for Xmas. I don’t need it at all. Would it be so hard for my parents to simply… I don’t know. Say “Good Job!” ? Fuck.
