Words cannot express how much I miss the internet.

Every time I have the opportunity to use it I have to squeeze like 18 things to do into a 20 minute time period. It especially sucks when the internet I am using is spotty. Lame.

Very busy week. Started out with taking the cousins to see Princess & the Frog (which is cute and not overly black--you know you were concerned about that too) on Sunday. Monday was work as usual and then dinner with my parents followed by a lovely jaunt with KTP at LAX watching the planes come in. Tuesday was the Edge of Darkness premiere. The movie was entertaining enough and we saw a couple of celebs. It was worth it though to see the RIDICULOUSLY tiny car that drove past us as we waited in line (will post pic soon!). Wednesday I did the work thing and then joined KFP at the Nick Jonas concert, which was funsies! His music is a lot less pop and a lot more funky than expected. Can't wait for my wife to burn me a copy! Yesterday I spent an hour at Knott's Berry Farm before abandoning that exercise. Its a crappy park that's rides were built for children in China and its dying a slow death. The only good things were the log ride and the Western stunt show. Oh, and the jam, but you can technically buy that at your local grocery store. Anyhoo, we ventured on to Disneyland, which is WAAAAAAAAAY more fun. Spent about 4 hours there and then headed home.

Tonight is Nick Jonas round two with my cousin and tomorrow is an early morning yard sale. Come by if you'd like. Not so much on the dvd, cd market, but we have lots of books, clothes, etc. Also, you can just say hi to me :)

That is all.

Oh, yeah, and I totally rick rolled the store today. It was awesome.

Silent stress

Its weird. I'm ridiculously stressed out, but at the same time I do a really good job of not focusing on it 90% of the time. When that 10% rolls around its bad news bears. I think we can all pretty much guess what it is that is stressing me out--->$$$$$$

I both love and hate this upcoming trip to Europe. I love it because I GET TO GO TO FRAKING EUROPE!!! But I hate it because I have no money for Europe. I'm starting to think now that there is probably no way that we will be able to go to all of the places we want to go. In fact, we'll probably be restricted to non-continental Europe, i.e. England, Scotland, Ireland. Which is totally awesome anyway, but I really wanted to go to France and Emily really wants to go to Italy.

Right now I have way to many upcoming expenses. Even having made $250 at the garage sale last week I'm still waaaaaaaaaay under on funds.

Rent (Feb): $300
Rent (Mar): $465
Chase (Feb/Mar): $128
Macys (Feb/Mar): $60
VS (Feb/Mar): $60
Gardener: $160
DWP (Jan/Feb): $125
---------------------------------
Total Costs: $1,298

How much I will make between now and the end of February: $1800

That leaves me with roughly $500 to work with in between.

I'm also expecting to spend roughly $80-100 on Mammoth in 2 weeks. So that brings me down to $400 to work with.

I spend about $25/week on gas so that's: $150
Being mighty frugal on food I can do about $40/week so that's: $240

Bringing me down to $10 left over. Lame.

Hopefully I make more $$ on the rest of my crap I'll be selling in the next few weeks. Btw, I'm having another yard sale on the 30th of this month. I have a few DVDs left and bunches of books and clothes and other random stuff. I might be able to do a "preview" for anyone interested.

If you can think of more ways to make quick cash let me know!!!

Ch-ch-changes

So.

I am moving.

Don't freak out!

Its most likely just to Sylmar.

We haven't figured out the details (i.e. we haven't spoken with Emily yet), but we are definitely going to be moved out of my childhood home by the end of February.

Apparently our landlords (who are really old) have hired a caretaker (since they have no family) and she is "taking care of their affairs", which apparently means bullying my mother and doubling our rent.

So, we have decided to "not accept" the increase (yes there was a letter where we check the box and send it back to them) and move out before the effective date, which is March 1st.

My aunt owns a home in Sylmar that they've been renovating so they can rent it out and our plan is for me to move in there with someone else. Since we haven't spoken with Emily yet, I don't know if she will continue to be my roommate or finally move in with Sam's mom in Mission Hills. Either way, I am moving.

Which is super convenient because I am planning on selling everything I own so that I can afford to go to Europe anyway. So, if any of you are interested in purchasing my things, just let me know :)
Wtf Borders? I don't appreciate this coupon I just received in my email for the SAME EXACT discount that employees get. That's just a slap in the face right there. And its not like our discount is an even number and it could be coincidental. No, its friggin' 33%. Stupid.

Anyhizzle, our landlord is sending someone over on Thursday to inspect the house for insurance purposes. Which means...we need to hardcore clean up this place so they don't kick us out. So Wednesday's plan to sell my plasma is not happening. Maybe Friday???? Lord knows I need the $$$$.

Did you find me yet Nadia Mars?

As soon as you do, I'll post a link here.
