Well, it's back to school for me, and it's certainly been a busy week. Not so much busy with classes, but everything else!
Car shopping continues, and I plan to look at a couple tomorrow (because I have no classes). I'm finding a lot in my price range on cars.com and Craigslist. I'm feeling good about the two I'm planning on driving... So cross your fingers!
I'm picking up that check from my old roomates tomorrow, as I haven't had time this week. I'll then deposit and put a big payment on my CC It's fantastic to know that it will be paid off within a couple months. Then I start on those pesky student loans!
In other financial news, I'm getting a kitten! I miss having a fuzzy creature around the house, and they've been told to be much less maintenance. That being said, I've only raised a puppy, not a kitten. I think it'll be a great experience. We looked at the little guy yesterday, and he's very much full of spunk and energy! I think it's going to be a great match...
That being said, though, it's also going to cost a bit. He himself is free-- dumped on a doorstep in a box with a few brothers and sisters. He's only about 6 weeks old, though, so he'll need a vet visit, shots, and everything else. I plan on making all of my own cat toys (and plenty of them!), and a cat bed. But he'll need food, dishes, a scratching post, treats, etc.
As for spending, we went out with BF's friends both monday and tuesday night. We'll be out again tonight. Not really my preference, but while he's driving me to campus, I dont have much of a choice. I'm a bit tired of it, but next week wont be so bad. Last night had dinner at mom's and did laundry. Brother is back in town and out of the airforce. Had to see him, and my cousin came over. Very nice
Tomorrow we'll be car shopping, then stopping at the Rec (free), and having a boardgame night with friends (not out paying $4-5/beer).
Today I have class and will be working. A lot. My writing is coming along nicely, and I've already hit my $200 mark for freelancing income this month. Good stuff
It's going to be a good weekend!
