I tried to help my mom out financially and without expanding TOO far into my personal crap and working the numbers here, I’m just going to say that I have approximately $210 in overdraft fees. That will teach me to try and help someone else I tell you.

Meh, whatever. In my attempt to be positive on life all I’m going to do is cut a corner here or there to make up for it, pick myself up, and dust it off. I can still buy the main things I was intending on this month, but nothing too extravagant, like a digital frame. Learn from the mistake and like I said, MOVE forward. I had a certain amount of spending money and now it’s decreased. Oh well, life moves on.

I will NOT let this put a damper on me. I have a home, I have luxuries, I have food, I have family, and my fiance is coming home in 13 days. I am lucky. $210? Woop-de-doo. It’s just money. I’ll work harder for next month.

It doesn’t control my life. I’ve seen way too many people get depressed and stressed over money.

Mom and I went to Walmart tonight and we left and it was snowing. It was those big heavy flakes too. On the way home we couldn’t even see the lines on the road. Why hello there winter, let’s have a good 4-5 month relationship mmk? Thanks.

We looked around for a bit tonight and I was in a browsing mood most definitely. I saw these little 3 foot Christmas trees with fiber optic tips for $12. I’m buying one for my room. It’ll add a little festivity in here. I also wouldn’t mind stringing up some lights in here as well. I think tomorrow my A/C is finally coming out and I’m putting my fan in.

I actually have a lot of things on my to buy list, including some more computer memory. I had to split my 4 gigs between the two computers. I wouldn’t mind going back up to 4 in each but I’m waiting for a black friday sale. I’m super excited to shop. I also will be going to the mall to look for some girly stuff as well.

Shop till you drop. Sounds like a plan.

Well, this is my deposit for the month of November. I’d say that ChaCha treated me pretty well. I have $28 for December already. I can safely say I’ll be set doing this for the winter without having to find a job outside of the home. I’ve also been doing a couple side freelance writing through one of the clients I hooked up with when I was doing it for awhile. So, I think I’m set. Since I can get unemployment (as self employment does not count) I’ll be alright and it’s going to be a very good Christmas.

I’m getting my fiance back home so that is all that really matters to me. I’d be happy with just him but money makes things a bit easier.

My brothers bought Guitar Hero: World Tour today. They keep trying to get me to participate in their little band they have going on but Manda does NOT sing I tell you. I might see if they’ll let me get in on their drums for a bit though, hehe. I like them better than Rock Band’s because they have a padding so they’re not so annoyingly loud.

At least it keeps them quiet. My brother sold his computer case and power supply to pay for over half of it. He has some nice friends, lending him $200 just because.

I shall now go do some work. If you can call it that anyways. I’ve got a few freelancing projects every so often too. I might want to get working on them as well.

15 days. It will change in 16 minutes to less.

I feel like a whiny little kid right now. I’m yawning and I keep rubbing my eyes and want to go curl up in my bed but I know that if I do I’ll sleep all day and be up all night. Let’s add to the fact that I’m greedy and like money so I’m trying to be alert.

I’m going to be finishing the book Marley and me today and then I think I may begin reading Twilight which I picked up Thursday. However, I’m thinking I might hold off because I’m poor and don’t want to be irritated that I can’t afford the next 3 in the series. I also want to get John Grogan’s other memoir that was just released last month as well. I really like his writing style. It flows well.
