Taking Charge

So in the last day, I sat and wrote two articles about Las Vegas. One is about the worst tourist traps and the other is about free gambling lessons. I have two more than I need to write tomorrow too. I am enjoying writing them, which is totally different for me. Usually I hate the idea of writing articles, not knowing if they’re going to get accepted or not. I hope that all of them are, since I really could use the extra padding to my bank account.

It sucks, this coming weekend (13-16th) is the annual Spencer Picnic and Friday’s paycheck is going to be almost nil, thanks to the week off last week. I want to filter all of my money into my primary checking account rather than into my secondary account for savings. I did take $20 today and buy the absolutely freaking coolest hoodie from someone in fatshionista. This makes the second one I’ve bought from that community. *glares at girlghoul for talking about it*

I could totally see myself spending more money on stuff if I had it. I cancelled my preorder for Breaking Dawn because of the money situation, but I reserved it from the library and I snagged a copy of the audio book to tide me over. I can listen to that, then read the book when I get it. I don’t absorb the whole thing when I do the audio book because I’m always doing other things and don’t focus enough energy listening totally.

Ah well, life will go on and I will be alright.

I declare today an epic fail. Seriously. The plan was to go to the lake and have a picnic, then go get some fresh fruits and produce. What happened, however, was that we headed out to Ithaca. We stopped at a red light and when it changed, accelerated and all of the sudden the muffler blew out. Yeah, that was really not cool. We pull into the nearest parking lot, check out the damage, find that the pipe came off the catalytic converter. So, we turn around and go straight to our mechanic.

So much for the lake. At least it was an easy fix and it was cheap. We ended up getting some crappy produce that was supposed to be local and wasn’t. It’s crazy. I don’t understand why people have to lie about stuff like that. No wonder people end up with food poisoning from produce. *sigh*

The ONLY part of today that wasn’t EPIC FAIL was getting 3 Grisham novels in the mail that I bought from . I even forgot that Project Runway started tonight.

Tomorrow is shaping up to be another Epic Fail day. We have to go to Vestal in the morning for an appointment at 10:30. Maybe we can find something fun to do afterward. I’m taking my laptop with me so I can check different sites. I should balance my checkbook and see where that stands too. Meh, I’m tired. Goodnight.
