Man. I'm terrible at updating LJ. I just looked, and my last entry was LAST SUMMER before we went to Maine. I'm not sure what is says that the only thing in my life that needs more than one sentence is Maine

Dude, I totally hear this. I'm starting to hide from my mail because I don't want to pay bills. I think I might try selling out for a year so I can drink milkshakes with abandon - because I have no desire to be rich, but being poor fucking blows, so I'll try it for a year. And, comparatively, or by Federal standards, we aren't even that poor - which is even more fucked up. I hope Barney Frank and Elizabeth Warren are successful in rebuilding a middle-class. But, also, exciting about a house. Your first house! That is pretty sweet. Also, hug and see you in Maine. Have an excellent vacation.
I am embarrassed that I have not read LJ since before Maine.
I hate being poor too, but I am apparently REALLY FUCKING GOOD AT IT. Every month I am surprised at what I get away with. And now I'm finding it to be a major source of pride. Somehow I find budgeting very relaxing. It compartmentalizes my life into little understandable chunks where in my brain there is mostly chaos. It helps that I don't have too much crazy outstanding debt, and I'm not terribly materialistic, but sometimes I just REALLY WANT THE CANDY BAR, y'know?
