So this morning I was supposed to go out of town.  Last night I put together what I needed to put together, poured the cat some food and went to bed.  What I failed to do was check to see if I had my credit card...which is currently sitting at work. 

I wake up at 5 am to discover no credit card.  So I'm like, I can't go.    

What I failed to remember was my credit line.  Or more like I failed to remember about internet banking which I can move money  between accounts.  That is, until 6:15 am.  Of course, the bus leaves at 6:30 am.  It is now 6:20 am and there is no way I can make it to the depot.

I would chance the car, but if it rains, I'm screwed, not considering the fact that the car has been totally unreliable lately.

I am an idiot.

Uhhh...I can't believe it's been 3 weeks since I last updated.

I really like Jezebel.com

I failed my exam.  I'm going to be in Admin forever.

Well, I found my access cards.....they've been missing for a month now...they were at the bottom of my laundry bin...I'm going home so I'm taking some laundry..and there they were.

I've been looking for them for ages!

Now all I have to find is one of my remotes!

Hmmm..does this sound wierd?

I don't really enjoy spending money any more.  It used to bring me such joy and now it doesn't thrill me as much.  I buy stuff and it doesn't really thrill me.

Hmm.

Well, I have some decisions to make.  I'm getting some money, around $6000.   The first thing I'm going to do with it is pay off my Mastercard.  That's my first priority, which will leave me around $1400.  My Mastercard payment is non-negotiable...and later I will need to put 2 classes on it, which will cost $1200.

I want to buy a new computer as this laptop, while good for surfing the net and a few simple games, is not good for editing photos, video, etc.

Also this year I would like to get an airconditioning unit for the apartment.  Yah, I know, extravagant, but just one large enough to cool my small living room.  If I have to sleep in the living room....I'd do it.

I would really like to advance my business too...found some software which would really help get a website going.  Need to get some stock too..gah!!  I want to do all of this without getting a loan to do it.

That and pay off my credit line as well as the Mastercard.  Seems an impossible task.

Well, what have I been up to lately?  Organizing the apartment and getting everything together so that it all looks ok.  It's taken an amazingly long time to get my living room together and start on my room.  I can't believe how much crap can accumulate in the 6 months since I did it before.

I've got a tiny pile of books in the living room to put away. which will be done this week.

The table is turning out to be a god send.  I've been scrapbooking, which is awesome.  And considering I bought a box of 300 specialty papers for it, I'd better get a move on with it :)

I've started scrapbooking with "costuming."  I've got some awesome pictures of me in costume and have scrapbooked all of them.  I am hoping to find more pics regarding costuming, but can't find any right now.  I really have to work on my technique.

I printed out a photo of my friend and his cat and put it into a frame for a housewarming gift.  I hope he likes it.  It turned out really well and hope that he likes it.

I haven't been doing much lately really. Just cleaning the apartment.  I've taken a break from it the last couple of days.  

I'm really going to try to get to the gym this week.

If I had a job in my hometown...I'd probably move from Calgary.  I'm not getting anywhere here.

I bought a chair a while ago for a dance class I took.  I put it in the closet when it ended and didn't look at it again.  But now it has become useful again.

My chairs for my table aren't put together as I'm having trouble doing putting them together.  But for now I can use that chair.  It's awesome :)

 My Answer to This

As a person without a child, I don't think this is entirely accurate, especially about the "sleeping in on the weekends, travel at a moment's notice, and have more disposable income."

 

I too have obligations that I have to accomplish, even on weekends.  I can't travel at a moments notice and I don't have a lot of disposable income.

 

I have friends with two children, a house with all the accoutrements, two cars and a lot of other extras.  Meanwhile I live in an apartment and have a car that was given to me.  They both work and if they can't afford something then it's their own fault.

 

I am always the one that has to go see them because "they have kids and I don't so obviously I have all the time in the universe to visit them."  I'm here to tell you that single people these days don't have all the time in the world to visit and have fun.  We have obligations too.

 

I fail to see why the husband can't take the kids every so often so that my friend can come and see me every so often.  I have a lot of resentment that people with kids seem to think that it is more convenient if I come over.  Sure, it's more convenient for THEM, but not for me.  And it costs me money every time I hop in the car and travel to see them.  Gas is expensive.

 

My friend's children constantly interrupt while we're talking on the phone and it's very detrimental to a conversation.  But clearly that's MY problem that she can't control her children. 

 

And that's not to mention the fact that she is consistantly late whenever we do meet.  Why, because of her kids.  Honestly people, if you know that your kids are slow, start an hour or hour and a half earlier.  Or get their things prepared the night before.  It's called Time Management.  Would your employer allow you to be late an hour and a half every morning?  No.  And you seem to make it to work everyday on time.  So why is it, when I am always 15 minutes early, you're always an hour and a half late?  Don't give me ""my kids are slow."  Read "I couldn't be bothered to respect your time because you are childless."

 

Sorry, I had to vent.  I really resent the fact that people with children adopt the "Holier Than Thou" attitude because I have no children.  My not having kids is not my fault.  If I had a choice, I'd join the ranks of the "Holier Than Thou" too.

It's not that I don't like kids, but have some respect for other people and don't use your children as excuses for your lack of respect.
