Just took this quiz, how sad:

You Are 35% Normal (Occasionally Normal)

You sure do march to your own beat... But you're so weird, people wonder if it's a beat at all You think on a totally different wavelength And it's often a chore to get people to understand you

The surprise trip that John took me to this weekend was in Little Rock, AR. We saw the Bill Clinton presidential center and we ate at Gaucho's which is like a buffet in reverse. The waiters walk around with meat on skewers and give you pieces until you tell them to stop and somtimes not even then. It was a good weekend, but now I'm totally pooped. More later!

I am not doing to well this week. we spent $10 a piece at hooters tonight

I forgot I played 9 holes of golf on Saturday also so it looks like I went over by about $25

I was SO disappointed in myself for last week. I was really hesistant to add up everything because I knew I had blown budget. Well it looks like I only blew it by $15. It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought. Here's the breakdown.

14 McGurks
5 parking
0.25 coffee
10 Science center
5 parking
5 parking
5 custard
7 pizza for dinner with John
2.38 breakfast
30 Dave Chappel
5 drinks at Dave Chappel
16 lunch at the wineries
6 star wars ticket
5 drink at fridays
115.63 total

This week I have spent $20 so far. I goofed and had a $10 lunch at Fridays yesterday. Not exactly a goof, but they are painting the break room so I couldn't get in to get my lunch, so it was Fridays, starving or angering the painters. I have to confess though I could've gone somewhere a little cheaper than Fridays. I thought I was trying to be healthy. Is there anything healthy about buffalo chicken strips? The other $10 is parking yesterday and today.

$5 more for today. The Custard Caravan came by.

It's been a while since I've written. Mostly because I confessed to John that I had been updating my journal and I'm afraid for him to see how much $$$ I've been spending but I know he's gone over budget too. Our little BBQ was $140 worth of food and beer, but we will definitely use all of that, so I'm not counting it. I stayed under budget BARELY last week when you figured in the surplus. This week, eh not so hot. I spent $10 at the science center Monday and I spent $14 for John's graduation lunch on Tuesday. Parking yesterday and today is $10 total and I'm sure I'll need it tomorrow as well. The big cost will be that John wants to go see Dave Atell Friday night and it's like $35 per ticket. I guess if we don't go out to eat all weekend we should be safe. The only other thing I had in mind was to go see the star wars movie.

yesterday I spent 12 bucks at the bar and 5 on parking and a quarter on coffee. Counting last week's surplus I have a little less than $20 to spend until Sunday. I'll shoot for better next week. Golfing really did me in.

thank goodness for last week's surplus. I already went over my $100 for this week. I forgot golf was at a country club yesterday so I had to stop at target and by clothes. I brought my jean shorts and my I <3 NY shirt. Not exactly country clubbish.
Here's the damage so far this week. I didn't even wind up needing the golf balls yesterday I had brought some with me and didn't realize it.

Also mission 2 of eat healthier will be a miserable failure today. we were out of lunch meat so i told john to just pack a TON of strawberries for me. he puts a landshire chicken sandwich in the bag. we'll see if i can resist the yumminess of it all day. darn it, John!

so I'm golfing today. I was going to go to work with John and save $$$ on parking, but he decided to leave at like 6:15 this morning. I parked at a meter. I think that's been around $3.00 and I brought my lunch. Here's the kicker. I forgot golf balls. arg. Now I have to buy new ones and I think that will probably be another $10. Looks like it will have to be a calm weekend.

I spent $5 on parking today and 25 cents on coffee but I went down to the cafeteria and spent 2.31 on breakfast. My stomach was audibly growling. I knew if I ate the orange with my lunch I would wind up going out for lunch and that's even more expensive. I won't be paying for parking tomorrow or Thursday. Tomorrow I can't because I'm golfing and its like $13 to park there for a half day and I can't on Thursday because there's a Cardinals game so it will also be around $13. There's about $10 back. Maybe I should bring some emergency breakfast food. Usually I skip breakfast no problem but today my tummy was HUNGRY.

okay so I spent about $7 more over the weekend on underwear for my sister and a candy bar at Target. She had to leave her apartment in a hurry because her baby daddy was beating her again. Don't even ask. Anyway, long story short she is living at home again. That gives me $41 surplus. I should contribute it to the wedding but I'm going to need it this week with the $42 golf outing. I never made it to the driving range either, so I need to go tonight after work. Dinner is at Joel's house tonight. He's cooking sloppy Joe's, so there's a free meal. Also, I think Kim signed up for ING under me so there's $10 more wedding dollars!!

WOO HOO.

so for the secondary mission of eating healthier I failed since I had a chocolate long John and 2 brownies yesterday. I spent no money besides my donation for my TL's present. It looks like I might have surplus for this week!!! I was going to make myself donate the surplus to the wedding fund but since next week will be so tough with the golf tournament I'm doing carry-over.

I cheated on my budget yesterday. I got suckered by work-Amy into going out for lunch. I had a bowl of soup that was less than $5 including tip. To punish myself I had to wake up early and come to work with John to save $5. I also skipped my coffee today though that's only a quater. I spend 10.28 with my contribution and card towards my Team Lead's sympathy flowers. I'm at 51.79 so far. Here's the break down. I think I could be doing worse. :-(

This weeks finances. I have spent 26.15 so far. And that’s trying to be cheap. How sad. I had an urge for a manicure last night so I spent $3.00 on a bottle of Sally Hansen Hard as Nails so really that’s like at least a $12.00 savings. $20 of it is parking, but I still count that because yesterday and today I could have rode with John to work for free. I didn’t want to wake up that early though. I could also park a mile away. I’m not exaggerating, we’ve mapquested it, literally a mile away for only $2 but I think walking 2 miles every day would count as my workout so that’s like saving money and being fit all at once. Now that the weather’s warmer I might park there a few times, but again I have to wake up earlier to have time for that. I already know that I’m going to spend another $25.25 this week for my share of Judy’s birthday present, my dinner tonight at Orlando Gardens and tomorrow’s coffee and parking. I could technically take the dinner at Orlando Gardens out of the wedding fund since we’re going to check it out for our wedding. (Can you believe they charge $10 for that ?!?!?) John and I both agreed to just take it out of our spending money for the week, since we can both afford it. Long story short. That leaves me with $49 with which to entertain myself this weekend. It sounds like enough but one dinner out with drinks plus a movie will kill that. (I usually wind up paying for me and John and if he pays its STILL money that could go towards the wedding so what’s the point?!?!?)

I woke up at 4 am this morning and couldn't go back to sleep for an hour, because I decided 4 a.m. was a good time to get irritated that I haven't been promoted. I am very tired now. Spending today was another 5.00 on parking and I will probably drop another .25 on coffee from the break room. I spent $60 at the grocery store but I think that should count as "bills" and not my $100 a week spending money. Maybe the candle should come out of that. They had betty Crocker candles for 1.00 and they smell really good. Okay, so that comes out of my $100 this week. I have to spend $30 on the patch tonight and that's definitely counting as a monthly bill. The problem is, my monthly bills cannot exceed $1500 and anything I spend under $1500 goes in the wedding fund. I usually spend 1100-1200 if nothing breaks, so we'll see. I can split the groceries with John though so that's not too bad. It's not like I get to keep the money if I count it as a bill instead of fun money
