I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Zen, I am going to be working on an eat my way through my pantry adventure this summer. Goal, spend less on food, clear out stuff in pantry, cook more.

Also also, stopping with dying hair and spacing out the manicures more.

Oh, I forgot to say: YAY TIM going home from hospital! Stay inflated, lung of Tim!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I feel you, msbelle. I'm pretending that if I don't actually look at my financial situation it is okay by default but I know deep down that it is not.

I do not know how to psych myself into thinking about this damn presentation. It's not an intrinsically interesting topic and I'm not sure who the audience is supposed to be and I would so much rather take a nap.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

I have no real useful budget advice (Suze Orman? Dave Ramsey?), but I agree that you probably should allow yourself a small fun budget so you can go to the movies or get BK once in a while. And if you declutter and make a few bucks while getting something out of the house, that could go into your fun budget.

I have been thinking about eating my way through my pantry in case I need to move. We could have pantry parties in Natter.

I'd love to stop dying my hair, but I'm not quite ready to go gray again. I quit getting manis and pedis last year. Food, ugh. I'd probably spend less if I just ate at the diner every meal than all the money I spend on food that gets wasted because I don't cook it. Or junk food and frozen meals because they're easy. Eating everything in the kitchen before I buy more, though, that's definitely a good idea. Mainly, though, I need to stop impulse buying stuff I don't need off Amazon. And also finally sell the big pile of stuff I've been meaning to sell for years now.

Where is this guy? How long can it take to put duct tape over a vent? Did he fall down the hill and die? Doesn't he want to get paid?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What I took from the last bunch of posts: Ooh, I have caramel ice cream at home!

A coworker just told me I look like shit. Well, what she said was, "You look like you've had a long day." So on that note, I'm going home.
