Budget woe
It's ironic that for the first time in my life I'm making an effort to make a budget and stick to it, and then Murphy's Law kicks in as if to say "haha! Try to impose order on a chaotic world, will you? Watch this!"
Of course, a planned lunch outing and air in the tires doesn't exactly count as life-altering events. But still. Because of the lunch that I'd forgotten about, I went $10 over my eating-out budget and because I needed to put air in my tires, I grabbed $10 from the ATM (only to have the not-so-helpful cashier tell me that all I had to do was ask and she'd turn the air on for free--WHY does the air dispenser say 75 cents then???)
Ah well. It's not like I've had this budget for awhile, maybe it still needs tweaking...
Wow. I feel really old for talking about a budget.... Old and nerdy.
