money is the devil.
no seriously, it is.
So, I got paid last Friday and did my xmas shopping all in one day. Which was good, but not. I spent so much money in so little time. Anyways, yesterday I called my bank to see exactly how much i had left in the bank before i bought my birth control. Instead of saying $20.00 like i thought, they said $80 something. So I'm all excited thinking I have more money, so last night I went and bought a top for new years. Well, turns out my xmas shopping transactions from VS didn't go through until yesterday! I am really upset, and now my parents are too because I'm under $5, and they have to deposit money in my account so I don't owe the bank a billion dollars. I just feel really bad, because I was always pretty good about not going too far. It also sucks because my parents are mad at me, and new years is coming up and i just hope they let me go out. It's chris and mine's 1 year, and i really want to spend the night with him. but who knows what they'll say. So tonight my dad is teaching me how to use my checkbook because i never really used it much. i started to but then i found out i could look at it online and stuff, so i did that instead. I just feel stupid for getting myself into this mess, but I'm sure lots of other people have done the same, and done worse.
Other than that I'm doing okay. Chris and I have been spending time together every night and i just hope he isn't getting tired of me. Sometimes I can be real annoying! Tonight I might just not see him because of this whole mess with my money. I don't want to tell him about it, because I feel like a dumbass. I really need to start saving money, and everyone else tells me that. Today was my first day off in a long time, and I didn't really get much of a break because I've been worried about money and new years all day long. Tomorrow I work for eight hours, so I should probably get up early and make lunch since I can't buy anything anymore. But that's okay, I'm trying to learn from this. I will be getting a good paycheck next week, so maybe I can put some money aside to save. That would be a good idea.
Anyways, I'm going to go for now. Finish up some laundry and just hang out.
