Well, darn
I had a very nice sleep going, and the girls ruined it. They’re just so LOUD. Grrrr. And, without really consulting me, Kristin is staying the night. Again. Sigh. So I’m tired, but they have Alex, whom they also woke up. Jerry went to get a movie from the RedBox, whoohoo. It’s a dollar rental (per day mind you, but we’re really good about returning them.) So here I am, yawning my little head off, but I’ll probably catch a second wind here soon, as I usually do. My sleep would have very likely turned into a nap anyway. In fact, it’s possible they woke me up before I really had a chance to get some rest, so it might be a good thing? I don’t know. I am quite sleep deprived. I took them ALL to McDonald’s today, after going to Walmart for snacks and the scrapbook store for Bling paper. I need to get a new club card so I can get my stuff there cheaper, but it’s 15 dollars, and I already spent that this month. I budgeted 30 dollars a month for scrapbooking, and unless Jerry and I agree otherwise, that is what I am going to stick to. So I’ll get my club card next month. It’ll save me over 15 dollars within a year, but probably only if I buy ALL my scrapbook supplies there. I got so used to buying 100 dollars in one trip… oh well. I don’t NEED 100 dollars worth of stuff anymore. But I do like getting the cheapest price. And I’ll have to ask them to order me some things, like the tools I want to buy. I think anything I can get on the net, I will simply have them get me. Because I don’t want to spend the money on shipping, and probably won’t actually have the money for the minimums to get free shipping. I’m pretty serious about sticking to this budget, though I am thinking about making changes so that I get more like 35 a month instead of 30. I need to consult with Jerry. The thing is, I’ve gone such a long time without spending ANYTHING, that there are just a few things I need. I could probably then go back to spending like 10 dollars a month, except for the tools. But I really need to decide, well, what I would USE, more than once or twice. I’ve been looking at POSSIBLY getting back into stamping, though again… more than once… do I get into card making? Do I figure out something else to do with the stamps? I used to LOVE stamping, and I still have them, 20 years worth. Oh good LORD. But yea, got into it in 87. I saw some CUTE baby stamps today… out of the budget for now. I’m just asking myself… since I am really not swapping, HOW are these going to get use? And the fact is, they’re not, so they’re hardly worth buying… not that’s it ever stopped me before, lol! However, things ARE different now, aren’t they? So… something to think about.
Jerry got 3 movies, Wall E, Step Brothers, and X files. We’re going to start with Step Brothers, so hopefully it’s funny/good. I just emailed Becca the last Twilight book, and am starting on a wish list of scrapbooking stuff… like I need ANY of it. LOL… like I need ANY scrapbooking anything. I found some really cute Christmas brads from Hot off the press, and I just love the look of them. Like I don’t have enough Christmas stuff. Still… cute, cute, cute.
