brightbluegirlI finished all the Christmas shopping this weekend. Andrew just has to finish buying his presents for me. I had to severely curtail his money expenditure - he's already spent $100 on me, and wanted to spend $175 more.
Silly man.
So I said $70 more TOPS and that's it! Primarily because that's the last of the money budgetted for presents, and if he wants to spend it on me, that's fine, but we don't have any more to spend after that.
Our budget is so strict. But it works. And it's better than blindly spending. I'd hate to have the stress of not knowing if I had enough money for rent or food.
But anyway.
Saturday night, when I was finishing up the shopping with Kurt and Nicole, I left my bank card in the atm. Dammit.
I didn't notice until Sunday when we were grocery shopping, and I went to pay. Luckily, we had enough cash on us to cover the bill, but I was depressed for hours afterwards. I felt like an idiot, and the usual concern that I'm getting flakier and crazier as I get older came back.
Andrew was a sweetheart, of course, and said all the right things.
I dyed my hair dark blonde last night. No more blue until after my mom leaves. Not that I'm ashamed of myself, cuz I'm not - but no matter how old I get, she just doesn't understand body modification, and really doesn't understand it in me. (ON me?) So I dyed my hair, and most of my tattoos will stay hidden. Well - the back and torso ones will. She's at least used to my arm tattoos.
Last night I made perogies, which took longer than the last time I made them, cuz I made more. By the time they were finished I was grumpy.
Everything made me grumpy yesterday.
So I went to bed early.
Today I feel better. The bike ride in helped, although it was REALLY cold this morning.
