April 2009 Budget Recap -$2762.53
Posted on April 30, 2009 | No CommentsORIGINAL BUDGET: I think I put it at $1500 because I went to Boston/Chicago on impulse with BF, and I didn’t factor that in. I think a more realistic budget would have been $3000 — $1500 for the trip which is just about what I... -

Receiving Gifts
Posted on April 26, 2009 | 12 CommentsI was thinking about this recently, and I’ve realized that I don’t actually like actual gifts any longer. It’s not to say that I don’t appreciate them, or that I don’t love the thought people put into them.. it’s more that I am feeling more... -

My basic uniform
Posted on April 22, 2009 | No CommentsThese days, this is what I’m wearing. P.S. Bag Smell Rehab was a success! It has toned down the leathery smell down to something more honeyed. Like honey + leather. And this is what I kind of wish I was wearing. Except I don’t own... -
The Idiot quit his job
Posted on April 22, 2009 | No CommentsThe Idiot is getting worried. (I’d change his name, but as the moniker has already stuck, so I’ll keep ‘er). Remember how I said he wanted to quit his high-paying job at $130,000 a year because he didn’t want to travel any longer? He did... -
