Autumn updates

Oh blog, I'm sorry that this weekend slipped by so fast and I was unable to write in you. This weekend was a very expensive weekend. I bought BF his anniversary prsent - an xbox 360. BF has been up late the past few nights playing it, but it makes him happy and keeps him entertained. Overall a good choice, haha. That was a dent in my checking account, but it's okay - it's totally worth it.

I also picked up some more sweats and another sweater - all of which were on sale! I did buy another sweatshirt, but I believe I will be taking that one back. I got a great cardigan at Old Navy for 14.92 - they need sales like that more often!

With October in full force the weather is changing so quickly. It's getting darker out a lot more earlier so that means more lights on in the house. I've been trying to light candles to help out and also layering clothes inside so we avoid turning on the heater. I'm quite fond of keeping our heating bills under $25.00!

Another item that I will need to save for will be my car registration and unfortunately this year it needs a smog too. My registration is 90.00 + the cost of the smog. That isn't due until late December so I can start putting a few dollars away here and there to help lessen the blow on that one.

I also made another sale - I sold my LV accessory that I had up for sale. That will ship out later this week and help with the visa bill.

I've also brought my lunch for the past few days - that has been helping keep food costs down, although I think I will be dreadfully sick of sandwiches in the near future. Any advice on other cheap lunch alternatives would be great - but keep in mind I have no microwave or oven or anything to heat up meals here in the office.

That's all for today - will update you later :)

Whew - I can't believe that this week has gone by already - and sadly my poor blog has been neglected. I apologize blog - but I'm here to stay.

This week I only spent money on lunch. 7 on Monday, 6.50 Tuesday, 7 Wednesday, 11 Thursday (that one hurt...) and 6 yesterday. Not bad not bad. I'm going to try start making pasta salad again and bringing that to work. The reason why I buy my lunch just about everyday is our lack of microwave, oven, anything at my office that doesn't allow me to bring leftovers and heat them up. I hate this -but what can I do? Sandwiches aren't exactly my most favorite thing to eat on a daily basis, and salads rarely fill me up. Bah. It's always a battle.

I got a 50 amex gift card and I have no idea what to spend it on! If I could apply it toward my visa balance I totally would, but unfortunately I can't. I did get my work re-emburcements yesterday, so I'm holding $492.81 and 300 in birthday money - comes to 792.81, and with the 71 that my mom owes me it comes to $864.81. Not bad. I haven't had any takers on my stuff for sale so I may just turn to eBay which scares me, but what can I do.

I've also come to the realization that I don't need all of these fancy items. I might sell most of my balenciaga cities (gasp). I'm hesitant to let go of my Vuittons, but we'll see...

My mom and sister are coming in to the city today since Dave went to work and my dad and sister's boyfriend are busy. I think we are going to go to Chinatown (sigh since I work there) and maybe Union Square. I am going to leave the Visa card at home though!

So that's it for now... I'll see about updating later on if I have more to say!
