It's been a while, I guess it's time for an update, huh?
So for the most part I am settled in. It's been an adjustment. I do miss my family and friends back home and I have yet to make any new friends here, so that's been kinda hard. Babe and I haven't had many outings since we moved which sucks. Either it's raining or there's some reason to go to his mom's. We went out to eat twice and really that's about it. Kinda sad now that I think about it... I'm not saying we have to go spend money - obviously this economy and these damn gas prices don't allow for much of that - but I'm sure there's some free or at least some cheap fun we can have. I guess it'll be up to me to figure that out.
I have a job working for his brother's company which I'm grateful for, but I need to start looking elsewhere. I really appreciate his brother helping me out, but the job is just so out of the way. I'm part time right now, and I spend as much time getting to and from work as I do at the actual job. I need something closer. What I really need is to be my own boss but I don't foresee that happening any time soon so yeah... Hourly it is.
Funds have been... I'm not sure yet. I know when we first moved in I spent more than I should have, but that was to be expected. I think I'm getting a better handle on my spending now. Our agreement was that I would take care of the utilities and my own expenses and Babe would take care of the rent and his own expenses. We had some miscommunications about the groceries [I'll talk about that in another post, maybe tomorrow] but I think we've got it together now. That was a learning experience in and of itself, grocery shopping. Hard to separate the needs from the wants when you're walking down that cookie aisle. But like I said, I think I'm getting a handle on it. I told Babe I wasn't spending any money on anything we didn't need for the rest of the month. That was on May 7th, and I've kept my word, so I do have *some* willpower.
I haven't been back home yet but I'm hoping to remedy that next weekend. My dad and I have birthdays that weekend so I'm excited to see my parents and my brothers and whoever else plans on coming by. Also I plan on making a 7 layer rainbow cake [with some help from my friends]. Mmyeah. I'll be turning 25 with a kiddie cake. Don't hate.
Alright well that's it for the night. More updates and shit to come. Later taters.
