It’s been so long since I’ve posted that I nearly forgot that I had a blog! I know you’ll forgive me though.
Let me think about what all has changed since I last wrote…I called a few apartments. Apparently there’s a big renters’ fair this week on campus, which I need to go to. I found one that I like, but it’s pretty far from campus and a bit expensive. It’s absolutely huge and totally worth the money, but I could find a place that is closer, smaller, and cheaper. My mom keeps nagging me about getting a Sunday paper to look at different apartments for rent. I’m simply too lazy to do that.
Spring Break went really well. I went out to dinner with my uncle and then went to a St. Patrick’s Day dance with my grandparents. The dance was at the Elk’s and it was a bit of a disappointment. Mainly because it’s so…trashy now. The people they have let in have totally ruined the mystique and the prestige of the lodge. I mean, when I was growing up, you dressed up to go out there. When my mom was a kid, you had to wear a jacket and tie to get into the dining room. But the numbers have fallen over the years, so they’ve had to lower the standards for admission. I know that probably sounds snobby, but oh well.
I didn’t get as much reading done over the break as I had hoped. I’ve come to the conclusion that reading is dangerous! When I read a book that mentions another book, I immediately want to read the other book. I broke my book buying ban today. I ordered a Judy Garland CD, Cruel Intentions, and then I had to buy something else to get the free shipping, so I got The Good Earth (which was mentioned in a book I recently read). But then I ended up getting a different, better Judy Garland collection that cost more and I found out that this one book (Provence A-Z) was on sale, so I bought it too.
I’m afraid that I need to cut this post short and look at my online banking to see what all money I’ve spent. I should probably start with January and go on from there, writing down the expenses and deposits. I’m really bad about remembering to do that. One of these days it’s going to get me into a lot of trouble.
I’ll try to write soon…
try roommates.com we did that for my daughter and found a place.
ah, tracking where I spend all my money…I suck at it too! And I always get sucked into buying another book for the free shipping, I’m sure they more than make their money back on that offer by upping our purchases.
I am so freakin’ anal about my bank account…..I know about every dime I’ve spent outta there! Sick huh? LOL
