Heh. I knew my last credit card bill would be high...and I opened it the other day (just before I had to pay it) and it was pretty high...and then I realized it only included HALF of the F2F weekend (not the last couple dinners, and not the hotel bill). OUCH!!!
Also, you can tell it's not gonna have a happy ending when the main guy's all bumpy.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

I tried to do an all cash weekend. My savings account is anemic and my Amex is glaring at me.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Add more to your savings account with your Amex! all the cool kids are heavily in debt doing it!

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
I brought Pete to the Chip Shop. This is literally the most I've ever seen him smile.Pete likes cow chips?? Curious. Hey Scola, since you broke Pete, and you have excellent snog skills, I think you need to "kiss and make him all better".

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Mmmm, fish and chips! Yay! With vinegar and mushy peas!

I am DESOLATE that I am not there, but my wallet still hasn't quite recovered from Seattle. And from Seattle, I have come to terms with the fact that I have no willpower when it comes to hanging with Buffistas, so I'm staying home this weekend. *sigh*
This. So very much this. Although I am going to Maine this weekend, not staying home. But that's (usually) a cheap weekend for me (gas being the primary expense).

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Curses! She's on to us.

Seriously. I will say "oh, I'm going to go and have one drink, because I want to save money to blow on dinner" and low and behold, I have three drinks! and still blow money on dinner, because I'm on vacation, dammit!!

Yeah, this F2F I basically gave myself permission to not think about money at all, and do what I pleased. It worked out OK, as I ended up mostly using cash, but the expenses of going in the first place (air fare, hotel, etc.) put a serious dent in my credit card.
I figure I can probably get away with this once a year. I think next time (since the F2F will be east coast next year), I need to hit San Francisco.
