Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next? Zoe: Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up. Wash: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Speaking of bills, I was excited to find that my utility bill wasn't any higher than I'm used to. My two-sweater strategy has paid off!

My gas and electric usage has been less than or equal to what it was at my old place. Which is kind of ridiculous when you think of the size of this place. Guess it is insulated better.

Ooh, and it would be even less if I had a job and wasn't home all day! I am definitely benefiting from heat rising from the apartments downstairs.

The bill paying talk made me go look at my CC balance. Not as bad as I thought. My mom gave me the cash to pay off some purchases that I made for her, and I have a couple of returns to make that will go back on the CC, so that brings the balance down a couple of hundred bucks. It's really not bad at all, considering it's just after Xmas.
But that's one thing--my mom gave me all this cash to pay me back, my SiL gave me the cash after she returned the camera she gave me, and then my mom handed me another wad of cash as I was leaving the house. Along with the other just in case money I had in my wallet, I was traveling on the bus last ngiht with almost $600 in cash. It made me constantly check on the location of my wallet.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
One should avoid being married to the President if at all possible.
Well sometimes it's unavoidable.
I would totally fake ransack my house if it meant someone else would come in after and set things in order. But I don't think that's what it means.

You know that makes you a target, right? And yet, I understand that it's impossible not to do!
When I go to Vegas, someone usually puts the house on a credit card, and then the rest of us end up paying our share in cash at the end of the weekend. It's kind of hilarious.

I know, but almost $400 of that was given to me within an hour of me leaving town. At least I was dressed like a bum for the bus ride in sweats, so I didn't look like Ms. Rich-y.

Am so going on an austerity budget this spring. Last couple of months have been murder on the checking account.
