Dropping off the face of the earth...
Okay, so yyyyeah, it's been a while.

Thanksgiving was awesome. We had lots of people over. Thanks to everyone who showed up and brought food and played games and made it all fun! We must do this again next year.

I got moved to a different department at work! I love it! No more talking on the phones with people. I think I'm doing a really good job at it so far, though I'm still learning.

The black scooter is a really cold-starting machine, and I think I need to take another look at it to get it running better. The red one is also in, but I only just got the paperwork for it, so it's not registered and I haven't checked it out yet.

The weather's been too cold for scooters anyway. It's been below freezing, and we had some snow. Derrek's so giddy, he hasn't seen snow in years! I know the feeling. It's supposed to snow a lot more over the rest of this week too.

Money's awfully tight, and getting tighter. I got Microsoft Money to help me manage things. I'm going to be cutting way back on dining out, scooter stuff (since I've already got most everything anyhow), and groceries. Yes, groceries. $700 in a month is too damn much, and I'm going to stop buying luxuries and start making my roommates cover a more even share.

I'm glad to hear that your holidays went well! :3 Also glad to hear work is becoming interesting and more tolerable at that.

$700 a week? O_o I mean you no offense but where the hell are you shopping?! I spend about $200-300 a month on groceries. And that's solely for myself. I don't buy for my roommates. Though that was a sort of understanding between us from the beginning. Try to eat out only once or twice a month. You'll appreciate it much more, and your wallet will too. xD

Hm, what other advice can I offer? Learn the difference between what you want (i.e. the "luxuries" you mentioned)and what you need and as hard as it may be, stick to what you need. Other than that, that's all I can tell you. Oh! And buy the Sunday newspaper, clip out coupons and shop for what's only what's on sale each week/something you have a coupon for. There we go, that's it.

I'm happy to know you're doing well, and take care. Hope to see you active on FA soon! <3
