Shopping
You know, I had big plans for the money I got back from my tax return this year. I wanted a laptop, and wireless internet. And also, a new mattress set. Except, I really wasn’t getting that much back.
So, basically I have been doing some splurging. I paid off a couple store credit cards - one was no interest for a year, a year that would have been over in July. So that’s done and my camera is paid off and it’s like I paid cash for it, so woohoo. The other was for a bunch of charges on my New York & Co credit card, the splurges such that they sent me a GOLD card! On account of my being such a spendy shopper. Those are the only two credit cards I had a balance on, other than the ones that are tied up in my credit counseling agreement. Little by little my debt I shall whittle!
Since I’m not one to spend a lot on credit, that didn’t even hit the halfway mark of my return. Pretty much I’ve been taking a little hiatus from stuff like balancing my checking account, budgeting, packing lunch, etc.
I’m also splurging on some “wants” that I’ve had in mind for awhile. For instance, my new bed frame:
I’ll be picking it up next Wednesday.
Also, for the kiddo’s room:
(Nevermind. I fucking hate Target’s online shopping. I never see ANYTHING online that they have in the store, so I can’t find the image. I’ll have to take one at home - with my now paid off camera! - and post it later)
Anyway I got him a new bedding set. He was using an old queen sized down comforter and it just looked awful. So his bedding is now all coordinated and I moved the furniture around to make room for a desk in there. Eventually - when I finally do get that laptop I’ve been wanting - he will take over my computer and use that in his room.
I’m getting the carpet in the living room and dining room cleaned this weekend. My cat decided not to use her litter box and my attempts to remove the stain from the carpet basically made it worse. It’s really bothering me so I decided to get the carpet guys out there to see if it can be cleaned, and/or replace the pad and restretch the carpt if necessary. It’s a rental but I am friends with the owner and I would feel terrible if my stupid cat ruined the carpet - I don’t want to leave that for her to worry about. Especially since once we move out this summer, she is selling the place. I would just die of embarrassment if I didn’t take care of it.
ANYway… just a few sundry bits about what’s been going on in my world. It’s been a shopping kind of life these days!
