Mean to Me Week?

I’m not sure what is going on this week, but a lot of people who I thought cared about me have been mean to me this week. That includes my car! Seems like a lot of things have gone wrong for me. Even my neighbor is forgetting to turn off their bathroom fan and it makes such a racket in my bathroom! Is Murcury in retrograde? Is my sun sign in the wrong house? Has my Dogma finally run over my Karma? I just hope this streak of bad luck ends really soon. I’m not sure I can take much more of it!

Emergency Fund to the Rescue!

Thank you, Dave Ramsey! Because I followed the advice of Dave Ramsey I can afford to get my car fixed without going into debt! I am so thrilled. I had tried to contact my ex since he told me that no matter what I could always call him for car troubles. I guess he was lying because he was a jerk about it. But you know what? I don’t need him. I don’t need ANY man. I can take care of myself just fine. I even managed to haggle the mechanic down from $400 for a complete fix down to about $50 for a permanent fix. I mean, I don’t need a back window to roll up and down anyway. Of course, I’ve had to ask a co-worker for a ride home and back to work in the morning, but that’s what friends are for, right? I’m feeling pretty good about myself at the moment. Now, I just hope it will be fixed in time for me to go out this weekend!

More Magic

I went and played more Magic the Gathering last night. This time we did some multiplayer games which really confused me. I understand how some complicated lingerie goes together, but this had me all turnned around. Of course, these guys have been playing for years and years while this was my second time. It’s just going to take time and experience. I have been invited to hang out again this weekend and I am really looking forward to it. It’s been a long time since I’ve looked forward to something. Jon gave me some new cards to work with so I’ll have to try and review my desks before then and see what I can come up with for Friday. I’m pretty timid when it comes to attacking, I’m just too scared to get hit I suppose. The only way I am going to learn is to play. One day I’ll be worthy!

Wedding and Baby

Meaghan’s wedding reception is set for October 9th. We have a great venue and everything is coming together nicely. I have been keeping a small notebook of ideas and lists to maintain my sanity. My mom and I are going shopping on Labor Day to pick up a bunch of what we need. Plates, napkins, silverware, table clothes, etc. I will probably need to order the grooms cake and her wedding cupcakes. Everything is being done in an Alice in Wonderland / Mad Hatter Tea Party theme. Don’t worry; I’ll be taking a lot of pictures. It’s coming together nicely. Invites will be going out next week. She is about 18 weeks pregnant now and she goes back to the doctor on Thursday. Hopefully they will be able to determine the gender of the baby. Girl seems to be the popular choice. Joslyn Leigh or Dylan Jasper. Personally I’m hoping for a girl. I bet you can guess why. She’s doing well. Her hormones are going nuts, but that’s to be expected. I wonder what brand of vitamins she is taking and if it’s making her sick. I hear spring valley prenatal vitamins are really good. For the most part both mom and baby are healthy. We will find out more on Thursday.

Vision, She Has It

I took Becca to get her eyes checked last weekend. She is taking driver’s ed this year and can’t unless she gets her permit which she can’t pass unless she has glasses. So this place was supposed to have a special for two complete pairs of glasses for $69.95 including eye exam. What they don’t tell you is that anything like scratch resistant coating or other NORMAL things were ‘upgrades’ and cost much more. The sales lady checking me out didn’t even bother to ASK me about any of this, she just assumed and gave me a price of well over $200. I did indeed pitch a fit, loudly. In the end we left with an order for two pairs of glasses with no special upgrades (she even had the nerve to tell me I’d be sorry if I didn’t get scratch resistant coating…and I called her out on it from across the store…needless to say, I was pissed.) Becca is 15 years old. Those glasses will be lucky to last a year with or without scratch resistant coating. I’ll get her some nicer glasses when she turns 16 just before her eye exam expires for when she actually starts driving.
