We have wheels!
spirit_o_fire has come through with a way to get me to Faustus... and I didn't even have to sell my soul to make it happen! Huzzah! :)
In other travel-related news... my boss just left for a week-long trip to Alaska. What's he going to be doing up there? Working. What does that entail? Filming stuff for Greenpeace. I know he'll be coming back with interesting stories.
Last night, I finally got around to signing up for one of the short-term car rental services. Both Zipcar and Flexcar are everywhere now, which is nice. In fact, my mother says she even saw one of them up in my neck of the woods in NY. I went with Zipcar. Not because of it's sexy and hip image (which, really, annoys me a little) but because I was handed a promotional flier last month with a $50 driving credit code. That won't cover the application fee, first year's membership fee and one rental I have planned, but it should make it come out to a little less than I would have spent on the Flexcar. Though, in the long run, Flexcar seems cheaper. We'll see how this year with Zipcar goes.
This, of course, means I won't have to worry quite so much about getting my groceries delivered through Peapod. This is a good thing. In the four times I've ordered stuff through Peapod, one time they showed up many hours after the scheduled drop-off window and, just last week, they showed up on time but every last bit of my frozen stuff was melted. Ice cream should not slosh when you pick up the container. Unfortunately, I didn't get that far until after the delivery guy had left. Otherwise I would have just sent the non-frozen frozen stuff back with him. And there would have been no tip.
Paycheck gets deposited today. Bill that can be scheduled to be paid will be scheduled this weekend. We'll see how much money I actually end up with in the bank account. Then I can really work out a budget and be on my way to getting out of debt.
This whole having money left over after paying bills is a nice thing. I think I'll keep that up for a while. :)
So... play tonight. Parties tomorrow. Pirates on Sunday. Nothing for Monday just yet. Maybe sleep?
Hope everyone's Friday is going as well as mine is (or better)!
