"you made up your mind to leave it all behind"--the fray
so...i have pretty much sucked at life this whole week...i need to run and i get home and just end up watching dvr-ed shows (which by the way are DVR-ED, therefore they can be watched anytime), eat dinner and think about pilates...that's right, just think. awesome. my house is a mess, i have to get rid of stuff, and i need to run. a lot.
last night was no different, except i went to eat at ztejas with my mom and a family friend from saudi and her husband...well she's like 30, so her mom is really the family friend, my mom just helped her find her house here and they're friends. anyways, i had the wild mushroom enchiladas and they were great, yum-o! after that i just went home, watched nip/tuck, and started to do my budget.
just like clockwork, i've freaked out about finances this month...i think you can go back through archives and read at least once a month how i freak out about them. except this time, i took action and made a budget. it amazes me that i have a decent amount of money leftover each month and yet, like this week, i'm like how do i only have $30 left for the next 8 days? eff. sooo...with a little help from excel, chris' finance knowledge and my own discipline (i'm sorry? what's that?) i think i should be ok...it's just a matter of wondering how i managed to have credit card debt, something i swore i'd NEVER have and paying it off in a timely matter so my credit (which is like one of the only things i really care about in my personal life, finance wise) doesn't get incredibly screwed. once they get back down to $0, i'm not being stupid...well i probably will, but not like i did. wtf? as long as i can pay my bills and mortgage, i think i'm ok. and in that sense, i'm ok.
ce came home and we watched project runway, well, like the end of it, together, but in separate rooms, yes, we're ridiculous. then she came into the study and we started talking. she is very excited b/c she went to the bridal extravaganza this weekend and her and gary won a trip! (aka honeymoon) and some spa treatment thing and her work hours changed to earlier, so she can get off sooner, that's good! i feel so bad sometimes, she'll ask me a quesiton about my relationship and what should take 5 mins, takes like 20 because i'm explaining in-depth things and how i didn't know what i wanted a year or 2 ago in my last relationship and that i really like chris because i'm able to be/do the things i want to be and i can let him be/do the things he wants to and we seem to have the same values, etc. anyways, i won't go on and on about it in here, because that would take YOU 20 mins to read about it, but you loyal readers get what i'm sayin'.
our lawn is a jungle, i have to call someone about it today, it is just ridiculous. boo.
tonight's thursday, the best night in tv (yet again, since friends was on), the office, grey's anatomy and i think i'm goign to dvr ugly betty to see what it's all about, i'm also dvr-ing six degrees even though i haven't watched last week's, just in case i end up liking it. and this is also the reason that as part of the budget, i will be ending my netflix subscribtion for awhile...sure it's not going to make a huge dent in my life savings, but...it's $16.23 that i could be using somewhere else and i think i have enough tv to keep me occupied plus, i remember shawna saying if i ever wanted to, i could borrow some movies? (does that offer still stand? :) ) i think half the ones on my list she has anyways, lol. let me know!
ok i think that's it...tonight, i'm returning some clothes...going to run! YES! YES! (i really shouldn't speak so quickly, actually) then going home to watch all my good tv! yay!
peace!
