We're supposed to be saving money because we spent way more than we should have on a new car last month and now we're hurting. But I really want a fancy coffee. Saving money is lame.
Where is everyone today? It seems like all the boards I usually post on are unusually dead today.
I just got here.
I was, just before this, changing a flat tire on the side of the road because apparently I suck at driving. I don't even know what happened. Just suddenly, a flat! That sucked. And pretty sure it can't be patched. DH is going to handle whatever we have to do with it tomorrow.
I feel your pain on saving money. We're trying. And doing an ok job until crap like this comes up. It sucks.

Sorry for the flat. That sucks. And yes, saving money is a pain. I like it more when I don't have to pay attention to finances!

For real. Ready to stop being an adult for a little while.
I'm at work. I was supposed to have today off but got coerced to come in. It is completely pointless for me to be here because it's dead.
Don't mind me I'm just banging my head against a wall...
At least if they're dead the likelihood of dealing with idiots is lower. Sorry you had to go in, though.
True. But time is crawling. Would rather deal with idiots and have my shift fly by than sit here twiddling my thumbs for another 2 hours and 45 minutes.
I've spent half the morning looking on Amazon for things for Halloween costumes. We might be doing a family theme of the Power Puff Girls, but h and I can't agree on who gets to be Buttercup.
Well I went outside to help DH with a fire pit project but since my opinion is apparently not wanted or needed I came back inside. Not annoyed with him right now at all... Nope.
There is a big pile of rocks in the yard that I thought we were moving over to put under our fire ring. Turns out he is moving the rocks along with a crap ton of dirt. In an effort to create "drainage" below the metal ring. Um... The dirt coming with the rocks is kind of going to negate that idea. And the real reason he is moving things is because he is obsessed with getting rid of the rocks. Not because he is really trying to do anything with the fire pit. Oh ok, so we are going to half fix one problem while creating another? Great plan. I'll be in the house.

That sounds infuriating. I hate when shit like that happens.

We can't save money because I buy shit when I'm sad. And I've been sad for awhile. Whoops.
Yes. I blew through at least $500 in a matter of days. I'm not even sad! Maybe subconsciously I am. Or it's all the hormones I'm on right now. Regardless, my purse strings are now sowed shut.
I'm watching House Hunters International Renovations. I just watched a couple spend ~3 million on a giant house somewhere in Spain. I should be cleaning, but eh.
nuggetrn, that sounds super irritating. Pour some wine.
We said we would start saving money. Then H bid $200 on a silent auction for a dresser-type-thing that we don't need. It normally goes for $1300 apparently, so he "had" to get it.
The grocery store had Cuties again!!! I was so sad because they switched to Halo's for a while and they suck. But the Cuties are back!!! naturally I bought 5 lbs and expect them to be gone by the end of the week. Hopefully they're still in season enough to have more next week!

I just dropped money on a car seat and 3 in 1 booster seat since they are 25% off with a trade in (I got expired ones donated to turn in). Only have buy another set by next weekend.....
Sadly, not even getting the expensive ones but more middle of the road. All 4 after discounts will still cost almost $475.00 with protection plans.
And Im about to drop over $100 on fire extinguishers.
I'm saving as much as I can but have to stock up on deals as well....sigh

I've been doing the same. I just ordered more yarn online, and I have an entire ottoman full of it.
I've been telling everyone I'm on a yarn buying freeze, but I'm pretty sure this weekend was the first one this month that I have not came home with any. I did almost buy some yesterday.

Do you have a baby registry or Amazon wish list you would be willing to share? I would love to help out if I can.

It's a lot of fun! YouTube and classes helps out a lot. Joanns sells spools of tulle and I use that + cotton yarn to make scrubbies.
I'm pretty sure I'm going to take a knitting class in October to learn two at a time socks.
DH realized the error of his ways after he had moved most of the dirt. We finished it the way it actually needed to be done. And because I am a sucker I helped him anyways.
Now if only this would teach him to just listen to me in the first place. /sigh

I'm glad it got done correctly so it doesn't have to be redone later!
I learned how to knit in like... The first grade. But haven't done any serious knitting since elementary school. I keep saying I need to pick it up again. And have half taught myself to crochet a couple of times. I would like to get back into it because I would love to make a blanket or something. A class would be helpful and probably motivate me.
