So...things are pointed a bit more towards "suckage" in my current state of being. If you were to look up Financial Screw-Up in the Dictionary, you'd see my name. Yeah, thats how bad it is. I overdrew my account, by lots via lots of small purchases, and got dinged $35 for every purchase. All in all, about $655 in dings, and $400 in actual money overdrawn.
What made it worse is that I didn't get my timesheet turned in on time and only got paid for 1 week. And what makes that even worse is that on this said week that I didn't get my timesheet completed, was the week Wells Fargo decided to stop issuing special checks, so I won't see that money until my next check. What sucks about that is that means I got pushed up into a higher tax bracket and theyre taking out a whopping $561 from my check.
So explains "suckage"
Luckily, Mom was able to help me out and loaned me $1,000 to get out of the red, otherwise, those fees would just keep piling up. I've felt horrible about this whole situation, and just plain dumb for letting myself get into this situation by being both careless and unaware. Things are going to have to change. My money spending will be restricted to Groceries, Bills and Gas...for awhile - which makes life a bit dull. So if I ask you to come over to hang out with me at home - this is why.
But, not everything sucks.
I got my family, friends, and Josh. All of whom are wonderful and supportive, and I love dearly.
I'm going on what should be a fun and busy trip, leaving on Thursday on a red-eye. My stops include Houston (layover), Jacksonville (Destination), Newport News, VA (Destination), Atlanta (layover) and back home.
I'm very much looking forward to the wedding (the reason for the trip to Jacksonville) as it's Josh's best friend, and I know how important this is for him, and I get to see my man in a Tux..wooot, but also to get some wedding ideas...it's been 3-4 years since I last went to a wedding.
And then we go up to Virginia for the Family Reunion. I'm a bit nervous, even though I've met Josh's family before, this will be the first time I'll be seeing them as Josh's fiance, and not just girlfriend.
What I'm not looking forward to...the rain, the heat and humidity. I only own 2 pairs of shorts...hopefully that shall suffice.
I'm also not looking forward to my red-eye flight to Jacksonville. I'm coming equipped with Pillow and Blanket, and dressed in PJ's. I don't care if people look at me strange, I'm boarding a plane at 12:30am, so they can go and suck it. I'm really hoping that our layover in Houston isn't a get off and switch planes layover, and I'll have the option of staying on and continuing to sleep.
Ok...enough novel writing.
