Buy something!

Smug?

Paul got a 13" MacBook Pro last night... He got a student discount (sweet) and also a free ipod touch (for me since he has a 32g).


Now, I just need to get my HP DV4, and life will be good.

Please love, don't be scared... It's just your own reflection///

So,

I have now $3300 in my savings.
I am surprised that I managed to put away that much too!
Paul and I have been talking about going to France (Aix-en-Provence technically) sometime either this winter (he said that I had the worst time in Italy a few years ago, so this might not happen then) or perhaps next spring.

If we went during Christmas time, it would only cost about $1200 round trip each person. And since we have a home to stay in, no need for a hotel room!

Maybe I am thinking too much about traveling. I don't even have a passport yet.

I just want to go see Museums and all things Picasso (he is my hero!).
Before Grandma died, I wrote to her telling her about our trip someday soon. I just want to make her happy for me. *sigh*

I want a girl with extensions in her hair... Bamboo earrings, at least two pair///

So, I am at the point where I want to start selling all those crocheted bags I have been making out of plastic bags. I have about 12 now, all different sizes and colors and styles... I don't know how much money I would be making but I think that I should get rid of them. I could use the extra money too.

I am happy that I am making some money off the things I sell at half.com tho. I know it isn't going to make me millions or anything like that, but having some money is better then having no money and lots of unwanted music, movies and books in my closet. I just wish that more people would buy my things.


Help!

I think I'd like to know ya, know ya///

Some things before I go to sleep:

-Curled my hair and liked how I looked for once. I am thinking of doing this from now on.
-Went to lunch @ the Cheesecake Factory for Sara's birthday. I love the cheesecake!
-Finally sold more things off half.com. One was a book I had bought for my Digital Photography class last semester (which I didn't really need or use at all) and a Coldplay CD that I never listened to much.
-Having some major drama with another half.com user... I hate people like this. Media mail takes longer but its cheeper... He is the first person I have EVER had a problem with.
-Decided to buy the stupid school book for my Group Discussion class so I can read over the weekend and then (hopefully) return it sometime next week and get my $90 back... I just need my book I bought online to get here asap.
-Starting to enjoy my group discussion class.
-Celtics beat the Lakers... Oh yea. 3 to 1. I want the Celtics to win in Los Angeles. I think it will make the victory more sweet.
-Went out with Paul to get a PS3 and the new Ratchet & Clank game. We got it at Wal-Mart and they also gave us a gift card for $100 which I used to buy the Ratchet and Clank game. I told paul that I would get him the new Metal Gear Solid 4 game and a new/ 2nd controler when he is out of town next week.


So, that means no cabin adventure for this weekend... It's all about us being total gaming dorks now...

America... FUCK YEA!

omfg (yes, I hate using that word);

I got my "rebate" money today (thanks to our "intelligent government" (and I use the term loosely, BTW)! Score one for the good guys! Who couldnt use an extra $600 for no reason? I wouldn't have noticed but I get these emails daily that tell me the balance of each of my bank accounts (Checking, Savings and my Credit Card). I was looking through them to see how much I have in checking to live by till next Monday (since I only get paid 2 times a month, at the 5th and the 20th of each month). Usually, the checks that I get at the beginning of the month are a little more then the ones at the end. This is only because we have a "bonus program" set up where we get more money if we collect more money or see more patients or get a set number of new patients in to see the Doctor. The only bonus we usually hit is the one for money collected in a month. The goal is to collect $25k with in the month and we get 1% of that final total (yeah, only 1-freaking-%, weak). So far, with 2 more days left in the month, we have collected about $34140.71. So, this means that I will take home an extra $341 on top of what I usually make... I hope my final total will be $1k for this next pay check (one can only hope that it is that much). Anyways, I am happy today. Well, kinda. I like the thought of having some extra money in my bank account, but I know I have to pay off some bills. I owe Paul $350 for half of the TV that we bought earlier this month. And I also have a balance of $228.32 on my credit card... Which means... $600 - $350 - $228 = I will have left about $22 stinking dollars to show for it. *sigh* But then, I will be debt free (minus the car payments on SnoBall). I am finally getting my shit together. Once this credit card is gone, all the left over money I get (like the things I sell on Half.com, or my silly habit of recycling to make some extra $) will go in to savings. Its kinda sad, I had $1500 in my ING Orange savings account, then I took $500 out to pay for my car registration and getting new insurance on it. There is only now $1100... I need to stop spending! Ugh!

[Edit: 926am]
I am gonna pay of the credit card today and pay Paul the money now. We have been emailing each other this morning since about 830am and the sooner I get this thing done, the better. I'll fell better about it when I have a $0 balance on the credit card... I promise.

I don't want you to fall in love now, so please don't start///

So, it turns out that we did not get the Sony Bravia like we had wanted. We went back to Fry's this morning and apparently the model that we wanted was only on sale cause it is being discontinued. When we asked the sales guy if they had any left, he said that the didn't and all they had was the floor model that had a bunch of dings and scratches. The other brand that we were looking at (which was a Samsung) was also being discontinued too. Not my idea of a good time... The guy who was helping us was not very helpful or friendly either. We walked around talking about what we could do (either go to another store and see what they have in stock/ sale, go home all together, or get something else). We talked to another guy in that department and we asked him about a different TV, a nice little 32" Toshiba LCD TV that wasn't being discontinued and he said that they didn't have any at the Natomas location but that they did have one at the Roseville store.

We drove to Best Buy and saw what they had. Paul doesn't like Best Buy let alone the fact buying from them and perpetuating the cycle of greed or something like that... We decided to check out the computer section to see if we could go online to compare prices while in the store. Well, one of the "department managers" saw what we were doing and waited till we got off to change the setting on the computer so no one can do a price comparison. (score one for the little guys). We decided to walk over to Bev Mo see if they had any Skyy Vodka on sale (it was on sale for buy one, get one for a $0.05) but they were all sold out. Yet another strike out for us.

We got back in the car and we drove around trying to find another store in the area, but I ended up on the freeway heading towards home. Paul said that if I wanted to try seeing if the Roseville store had the TV, it was my call. So, I changed my direction from going South on I-5 to heading East on I-80.

We ended up seeing that they had the TV and it was the last that they had in stock (which is the same thing that the second guy told us at the Natomas store) but it was an open box one. We thought about it for a little bit and decided to get that one which also included the original warranty from the manufacturer but was also marked down $40 because it was a return. So, after driving a round trip of about 50 miles, we are now the proud owners of a new flat screen LCD TV! It looks real nice and the sound and picture looks very good. Now all I need to do is get some of the HD channels from the cable to our cable.

Ah, anyways, I think it is time for sleep. Paul is knocked out and work is tomorrow (lame)

I have decided that I need to sell some of the books I have had in my room... I feel like I have no need for these silly things anymore & I am not the way I once was. I just wish I could get something out of these damn things & make a little extra cash... Go fig, compulsive shopper gets what she deserves. Lame.


buy my monkeys... SUCKERS!
