Adulthood
Being an adult is both fun and annoying.
I guess it's better than being a kid with adult responsibilities, at least this way, you can do fun things LOL
Today I finished getting in the rest of my income tax refund and I was able to:
• Pay off 2 of 3 credit cards (such a liberating feeling). I just have one plastic card and student loans to my name right now. Hopefully by next tax season, if there are no ridiculous emergencies this year, I can pay off the other card! Then, all I'll have to worry about is student loans! This is almost too good to be true.
• Book hotel room for Memorial Weekend & Car Rental (spending money already set aside too)
• Buy Mozart a carrier for his Neutering appointment next month
• Put money aside for Florida this Summer
• Put money in my savings account (this was the best feeling)
• Decide how much I am lending my mother.
The last one leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. Why? Because I do not want to lend it to her, but I know I can't say no to her plea for help. Why? Because although I don't want to toot my own horn, I am a good person. The trick is going to be having her pay me back. I have come up with a scenario that will force her to pay me back because it is something she wants; for me to have children. I am going to tell her we have put off family planning until we get that money back. I know it's really harsh, mean, rude, sad *insert another awful cruel word here* of me to do that, but I know if I don't hit her where it hurts, she won't know how much this affects me or how much she's asking of me. I'm only going to let her borrow $1k because that is all I can afford to live without right now, anymore and she's asking too much of me.
We do have the rest of the website payment and the money from the CD account that comes in this July, but I want to be able to extend that CD account another 6 months to accrue more interest. We'll see though, because there are a lot of things I still want to do.
My friend Cindy is planning a trip to Cancun and she wants me to go with her. Gosh knows I'd love to hang out by the ocean in the summer, but it all depends on time and well, duh, money. She usually takes off for a week and that might be an issue with me and work. Hopefully it is not and I can get a sun-kissed tan from Mother Earth.
My allergies went nuts yesterday and today, they decided to turn into a head cold. Kill me now.
I had planned to take our new sweet rides out for a spin! Maybe I'll feel better by then.
Have a good weekend ya'll!
