You know, the stuff I talked about at the end of January.
I didn’t get my GPA up. Flunked another class, as a matter of fact. There’s always the fall semester, ASSuming I actually go back to Salem (The jury is still out on that matter).
We haven’t travelled yet. We’re going to the mountains for an overnight family thing, and I’m saving up my pennies for the beach. When I wrote that post, I was not expecting gasoline at $4/gal. The trip to the West Coast is tabled absolutely. My brother is not coming home anytime soon either. Mamaw offered to fly his family home for her birthday - she wants to meet his kids. He turned her down. Yes, I’m going to kick his ass when/if I do see him.
The debt snowflaking is progressing nicely. I eliminated my one department store card, and have started working on my one credit card.
I’m not moving anytime soon, Mama did give up her doublewide paradise idea, I still haven’t rolled my own DVR (the one we already own still works). I don’t think I’ll ever be satisfied with any of my theme ideas so I’ll stick with this one and quietly grr about it. The electronics graveyard is in two places instead of 20million, but I’m not going to ebay them. I’m waiting on the next e-waste recycling day.
My social life has improved a wee bit, and the puzzle is still in the box - having been joined by another equally cool puzzle still in the shrinkwrap.
Oh how to spend today’s $25,600? I’ve debated and written and deleted several things. And we can’t forget the constant interruptions of The Progeny as I try to write. Today’s method of attention grabbing is to take a flying leap, landing across my chest (because they know landing on the laptop will land them In Trouble). But I ultimately decided that Holly needs a new car. She’s getting a Honda Civic Hybrid (MSRP $22,600), title/taxes/tags, and a tank or three of gasoline with the remainder.
Holly has family in Texas, Utah, Nevada, and Oklahoma, and friends across the US (and like me, does not LOVE to fly. We get on planes with a grudging cranky acceptance that it’s the best way to get from point A to point B at that particular time). Having a hybrid car will significantly ease the cost of taking said trips.

30 days of spending
A trip to Carowinds. Gasoline, admission, food, and a hotel room so I don’t hafta haul our exhausted cranky behinds home after spending all day in an amusement park.
