Finally did it.

So friends, today I must admit is pretty bittersweet. I just sold my first balenciaga bag. The 2005 bordeaux was definitely my first love - but alas, she has spent most of her months in my possession in her dustbag tucked away in my closet. So I listed her and she sold. Today I am $1000 richer, and feeling a bit more free.

This past weekend was good, albeit way too fast. My parents had a birthday party for me and I got $150 in cash. Not too shabby! On Sunday I returned a pair of boots that when I put on made me look like an elf. So that is $120 back on my visa card! Hooray! I did spend 67 at Target though... I needed some cleaning supplies, got BF some cereal, and picked up a few winter essentials since the weather will be changing fast. Mom also totally spoiled me - she bought me a painting for our apt, new jeans, two new sweaters and a new blazer. And she bought me lunch yesterday. So needless to say I'm feeling a bit better about everything.

I'm waiting to see what my updated visa bill looks like now after the returns that I've made on it. With the money that I've made on the handbag it's more than enough to get me out of debt and start to replenish my savings. I'm very, very excited - I may even put 100 in my fun fund that I started at BofA.

Weekend roundup

This weekend went by unbelievably fast... but without much spending! Friday night Dave and I stayed in and watched a movie that he had gotten from fandango. Saturday morning I went to mass with my mom and then we had lunch/shopped. I picked up a pair of work slacks for 29 - they had been 50 and 40% - so I couldn't resist. I'm kinda getting burned out on wearing jeans just about everyday, and they would look great dressed up.

Saturday evening we went to the movies and I bought an icee and some candy. Total - $7.25.

Sunday we relaxed by the pool and did some grocery shopping but with script. Total - $0. Had to put some gas in my car though, so that was $10. And we had dinner at home, which was a total of $0.

Weekend total - $46.25. Not too bad - but if I hadn't gotten charges would've been dropped. But what can I do - work clothes are work clothes, correct?

Anyway, on the visa front - I got another birthday check and that brings the total of birthday money to $300.00 - I'm feeling better about paying down the visa. Now if only the checks from work come, that would be great. I also think I might do the freeze trick with the card - freeze it in a bag of water in the freezer so that I can defrost it in DIRE emergencies - car trouble, vet visit, something along those lines. We shall see though..
