Bonus Day: Day 31

Saturday.

Slept in a bit because I had a hard time falling asleep, so I missed all of the Dam to Dam festivities. I also didn't feel like driving downtown because I am low on money and trying to preserve my gas.

Arouond 1 left for a BBQ. Stopped at Target where I picked up chips and beer to donate to the cause. I used my Target card b/c money is so tight . . . I need to keep in mind NOT to go overboard on that thing.

Was outside in the pool at the BBQ all day and got terribly burned.

Went out around 8:30 to a friend's going away party. I drove, and the plan was to leave my car downtown and split a car home. Well, I ended up only having 2.5 drinks and then drinking for the last two hours, so I was able to drive--but I was very stressed out. Just way too long of a day.

Total Expenses: $30 (target) + $12 bar

DAY THIRTY

This day was friday. My last day of cleaning out the old apartment!

Went to work, and then left at noon. I knew otherwise I wouldn't get it all done.

I also gave in to weakness and picked up MCDONALDS for lunch. LAME!!! But I needed something quick and fast so that I could get started with the cleaning. But that will be my challenge for NEXT month!!!

Got done cleaning and then went downtown to pick up my Dam to Dam packet. I wanted to make sure to pick it up and get my shirt, as I paid $30 and now wouldn't be able to run the race--I might as well get my money back.

Came home, cleaned up, then went to Cheesecake Factory for dinner . . . that is the most over-priced place in the world!!! And the menu is WAY TOO BIG--it takes at least 1/2 an hour just to read through it and NARROW IT DOWN. I decided on the fish tacos, and they were actually pretty good (and at $13 one of the least expensive items). I also ordered a mojito, and the fact that no price was listed should have tipped me off that it was way expensive--it was $10!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I luckily had declined any further drinks or else I would have been BROKE!!! Yikes . . .

Went to the movie, enjoyed it, and didn't spend any other money.

Was invited to go downtown for a drink, but ended up declining after an offer to go to a bar only a mile away from home--then ended up doing neither! Sweatpants and The Soup just sounded so much better . . .

Total Expenses: $30
