YAYAYAYAY!
ION, I was just uber productive actually taking a lunch hour, but staying at my desk. I got my stupid medical and dependant care info sorted out, 2 medical bills sorted and paid, and a dent into a ridiculous pile of receipts.
DOING A BUDGET IS HARD!!! But I will be triumphant and kill the pile of receipts and have all the knowledge of how I waste away my money and I will use the knowledge for good and be a grown-up to start saving money for SPRING BREAK IN DISNEY!!!
I could really do with a little less excitement about all this.

Wow 'Suela. Good thing too because the buffista torches were getting lit. And not the good kind of lit either.

If there are other people who have SPECIFIC EXPERIENCE of disposal of that thing you work on, I will be sort of amazed.
I mean, I once saw an academic job posted where they wanted someone who could teach latin and greek and also knew Chinese archaeology, and they found a person, but still.
Budget Motivation - If I cut back our eating out budget by one-half, that will cover our hotel room for 5 days by the time we take the trip. Clearly, we have been out-of-control in that area.
My favorite xkcd is the "You're a Kitty!" ridiculous things you say to cats one, very closely followed by Click & Drag. There are other good ones but I can't find the links at the moment.
