no doubt about it, i have been slacking off like woah on posting. my apologies. i have spent the last 2 weeks battling a stupid cold, which i'm sure i got b/c i feel the need to run around like a crazy person and cram all kinds of things into my life only to get sick so that i am forced to slow down. you think i would have learned after the last time- couch bound for a straight 7 days complete with a trip to the dr and the ER, with the bill to prove it. which is bullshit btw... why do we pay for insurance so we can then pay out the ass for the ER. i am not a person who over uses the doctor or for that matter, the emergency room. in fact, i underuse it, much to the chagrin of my mother and as most recently noted, my sister. but that's another story all in itself. anyway. back to the insurance. so i pay each week, out of my hard earned pay check (coincidentally it's pay day) and then i have to pay out of my pocket to cover the doctor walking in and writing me a prescription for some eye drops for (gross) double pink eye (thank you dr. those were actually amazing and totally worth the trip). but seriously. i'm going to be out a nice chunk of money.
so being as it's pay day i just decided to take a look at my bank statement. now, while some people are not necessarily a fan of the bank i choose which shall remain nameless, it is super convenient for me. anyway. so i'm checking my statement and i decide to add up the amount of money i have put into my savings through their program which rounds all purchases up to the whole dollar (yay for round numbers) and then puts the extra into my savings... in a month, i have saved almost $17. now, that doesn't seem like a lot to be putting into your savings account however, it is. because that's $17 dollars i could have spent on pointless crap. i mean, yes, i'm much better at not buying pointless crap than i used to be but it actually feels better to save it. wow. i'm getting old. or just smart. whatever the case. i'm kinda pumped about it. i would make it my mission to save even more than that, but i feel like that means i need to make even more purchases in order for them to round up. but maybe i'll stop caring if i get to 40.00 on the gas pump and be okay with 39.01... because that's usually what i hit, and then, b/c i'm a touch OCD, i have to keep going until i reach a nice round sum. which is okay if i can get it on the first or second try but sometimes, my goal is to put like, $25 into the tank and i end up at $30 or $35 because i can't quite reach the 00. (ISSUES)
big weekend this weekend. heading out to the "in-laws" (who technically are not my in-laws yet but. you know the drill) for some birthday festivities for the bro-in-law (also not technically but.. you get the picture) and then for a little family party then hopefully meeting up for some drinks with one of p's good friends from elementary school who is getting married in January. since we are going to the wedding, i thought it might be nice to actually meet the groom before hand and the bride since neither of us have met her, and since the opportunity has risen, we are hopefully going to be able to take advantage of it. while i am looking forward to the weekend, i'm a little worried about the dog as he will be spending the weekend with his lovely grandparents (yes. i treat my dog like my child and i'm 100% okay with it). and it's not that my parents don't love him or take good care of him but they also have 2 other dogs- their own and a family friend's dog who is boarding with them. and normally, i don't care but since Coors puppy just had his male parts removed (sorry dude, it had to be done) and is only 9 days removed from surgery and only 12 hours sans anti lower half of the body licking cone, i'm a little nervous about his behavior...
before i go... happy birthday to one of the best friends a girl could ask for. we have been through so much together and while i am sad that i won't see you on your birthday, i am so incredibly happy for you and for everything that has fallen into place in the last few months. you are an amazing friend and i am truly blessed to have you in my life. <3 it takes a long time to grow an old friend, and you my friend, are one of the best. happy birthday, ashley!
