Busy Week Ahead

September 20th, 2010 at 03:28 am

So today was grocery shopping day. BF and I hit the store, and came out with relatively low spending-- but mostly because I already dropped $50 at the Asian grocery store this week. Also had to stop at Borders to grab a GRE study book. Ran me $30, and of course I couldn't get out of Borders with only that Wink Bargain books will be the death of me... lol. I picked up a copy of Stephen Colbert's book (steal my heart), and a copy of one of Suze Orman's books to give to my mom. I felt she could use a little uplifting reading.

This week shouldn't be so bad on spending. Tomorrow I'll be neck-deep in homework, and BF and I are hitting the rec in the afternoon. Then class. The rest of the week I dont really have anything planned. Except the weekend-- date night! However, I bought a coupon on Groupon for the restaurant we're going to, so that should cover the majority of our dinner date.

Other than that, not a whole lot is going on. Just trying to keep the spending low. I upgraded my phone today, so that should be coming in the mail soon. I always get the free phone. I was surprised looking through those available-- I could have gotten all sorts of Blackberry's or Palm crazy phones for free, but they all require the outrageous data plans... no thank you. I dont want anything with a keyboard, touch screen, or internet. I want a phone. I want to make calls and send texts. That's it. I've had the same one for the last 2 years, and I'm only upgrading because it's not holding a charge as well as it used to Frown But hopefully my new Samsung will be as wonderful to me as my current one.

I have my drill pay hitting this wednesday, and have to get plates for my car before thursday, so there will be a bit of spending, but some income as well!

Overall, the week is going to be incredibly busy. It seems there is never enough time in the day... Ah well, hope everyone has a good one!

    I resisted Border's on Saturday. It was hard. There was a book about Anne Rice's conversion back to Catholism that I would have liked to buy in the bargain books.

    How is the Guard treating you? I am looking at coming back into the Reserve to help with school costs. Do you happen to know if they are still selling that program where you can buy into TriCare insurance, as well? Good luck on that GRE, it is a fun one!

    The Guard is well. It certainly helps with school costs. I'm not sure if you can buy into Tricare or not. When I got on the site to check my eligibility for the health insurance, it said I wasn't. But I'm not sure what factors all play into that (if you have a family, etc). I'm a singe soldier with no deployments and all that. So things may be different for others. GRE will be a blast, I'm sure... lol!
