i love it here and i wish i could move all my friends here. Today i discovered Ross. A clothing store that sells name brand clothes at over half the cost. I bought a pair of 55 dollar Dockers cargo pants and it cost me 15$. I also bought a bunch of work pants at the really big goodwill store.
I am discovering more great treats/brands of foods at Sunflower market. I still have to find fake ham slices. They carry SmartDeli but only the bologna for some reason. They have all the tofurky slices but im not too big into tofurky. I miss the fake ham slices. They have 3 times the selection of fake cheese slices that Stop n Shop on Cape Cod had which is cool i guess. I bought Tofuti brand mint chocolate chip icecream sandwiches. They were soooo yummy yum yum.
I am making mad dough at work. This relieved soooo much of my stress. I was able to pay my bills way over the minimum monthly payments. My Laptop is almost fully paid off as well as my Visa credit card which i plan on cancelling afterward. The next step is paying off and cancelling my Best Buy credit card. That will leave me with just my Dell financing account and my new chase slate card which is awesome:
I can choose categories that, when paid in full, have 0 interest!!!! Example: Lets say one of the categories i choose is GROCERIES. This means that any grocery items i buy in that month will have no interest as long as i pay it back in full! Fucking amazing. There were some other neat things too, but mainly that one. I can build up credit so nicely this way without having to pay interest.
My electric moped will be here in the next few days. I am sooooo stoked about this.
Things are going well. Everything is going so well, but i still could use a friend to hang out with regularly here :( I still don't hang out very often at all. Jessica has been having car troubles. Olivia has just been wicked busy since she is a brainiac and does all sorts of scholar things. I met someone named Dannon. She and her BF drove here from New Jersey because her BFs job required him to move. He has an apartment in San Fran and she has been staying with her parents in Citrus Heights. I have yet to ask her why they do not live together... Anyway, she is still jobless so she cant really afford to hang out right now but she has had like 5 interviews in the last 2 days. So she should have a job soon.
I am craving oriental food. I really want to celebrate getting my first full paycheck but not alone. Oh well.
Well i suppose that's it for my public update of my life in California. I am really anxious about receiving my moped.
