Mochas

[dudelovenext]

I'm feeling a little too dependent on mochas at the moment. I'm trying my best to slowly go off them...ah well, I'm eating a lot better so I'm not overly concerned about it.

Oh yes, and happy birthday to thestupidguy! I'd drink a fifth in your honor, but alcohol has been making me feel a bit sick lately. `^_^

The visit with my mom went pretty well I'd say. I think Whitney and her like each other, which I'm really glad about. Feels like I didn't get to spend a whole lot of time with them, so I'm probably going to try and make it back soon. Choo was pretty well behaved for the most part, though I guess he didn't like being left alone in a strange new house. `^_^

Yesterday was nice. Very non-productive, but I think that's what I needed. Mostly played games and hung out with Whitney.

Two more days until payday! Sadly with the work on the car I probably won't have much in the way of play money. Rent, student loan, money for my mom (for the car), money to Whitney (for buying Kameo), present for Charlie, new tires, groceries...I'll just have to be frugal with eating out. I think that's where a lot of my money disappears to. Damn! I really wanted to get a wireless adapter for my Xbox 360 too... -_-

So far today's going pretty well. I'm not completely annoyed by the phones, so I guess yesterday did help. :)

I totally know what you mean about money. I will probably have to drop $600 to get my insurance all caught up and the new vehicle covered. I also have a $412 payment to get lined up for next week. My budget says I can make it, but I am still sweating bullets. :)

I accept my dependance on coffee. I have made peace with it. :) Sort of like house and pain killers?

People wonder why I have so little money. I don't go crazy with it anymore, but I just have a lot of stuff that my money goes to. I'm just waiting for someone to call me cheap because I say I can't go out to eat. `^_^

Well, I'm trying to limit myself. There's a LOT of sugar in a mocha. Since I'm not drinking liquor or eating pizza like I used to, I might just call that my vice now. :) And heh, good comparison. I need to catch up on House. I really like that show but I don't watch TV that much so I don't usually catch it when it's on.

Mochas are really rich, but you can get the same pick-me-up from a nofat latte and a banana or some other piece of fruit. I've taken to keeping food/snax under my desk, since I never get out of bed in time to eat breakfast.

I don't like the bitterness of coffee which is why I get a mocha (no latte's for me, though the Pumpkin Spice ones are REALLY good, but they don't have them hear at work). I keep snacks here, but none of them give me the same pick-me-up that a mocha does.

Yeah, my cellphone bill is annoyingly high, and I hafta get new license-plate tabs this week...It's a good thing Friday is payday.

[dudelovenext.livejournal.com]

I pay about $40 a month for my cell phone (not too bad I guess). But yes, thank God for payday!!!

I am going to be stopping by the game store on my way home today to see if they have Okami back in stock. While I am there, I will pick up your Wireless Adapter, because damn you seriously need one.

Nah, it's cool. I'll wait until I actually have the money. One thing I want to avoid more than anything right now is owing people money. I can wait until I have the money (and I'll wait to get it from the MS store since it's WAY cheaper).

Mm... over the weekend I had a Dillettante mocha.

[dudelovenext.livejournal.com]

What kind of mocha is that? `^_^

[dudeapathy.livejournal.com]

Dilettante (http://www.dilettante.com/) is a quite fabulous brand of chocolate--a very fancy brand of chocolate.

It's not for you, Fighter. >:)

Just like Jersey Girl wasn't for critics? :)

I'm glad to hear all went well with the big meeting! That's what was expected but it's still nice to have it all go in that direction. :)

As for money...lets see...I have a house, that's a great lifestyle plus but a huge chunk of our income goes to the mortgage, upkeep (or lack there of), and utilities. Then there are our pets. My puppy has something wrong with her and in the course of figuring out WHAT is wrong (they still don't know) I've shelled out 300 bux worth of testing. Then the other two were due for shots. $240 bux after exams and meds (one of them has an infection apparently). We also paid to board them while visiting my Mother in law who was not gonna tolerate them shedding all over her house. Then today my tire goes flat on the way home and I find that I'm probably gonna need a whole new set very soon. Then there is student loans...let's just say I pay as much out on those suckers as some do for their rent (two people's loans and 7 years of raising a child and going to school...KACHING!). I'm not even gonna go into the rest (legal battle, feeding the family etc etc etc). Yeah. I gotta stop eating out. *wanders off a little depressed....*sigh*

Thank you! :)

Yeah, I know things could always be worse. `^_^ I do hope things get better for you. :)
