Speech, couch, ho-hum
Maybe I can start a new trend of updating more often... Anyway, onto the post~
Budget Goals
Well, more like debt payoff goals. Anyway my current goals/milestones are:
-Pay off CC1 (which has a balance of about 900) by September 2008 (completely doable)
-Pay off CC2 (which has a balance of about 1200) by December 2008 (seems doable maybe)
-Get CC3 down to 5000 before October 2008 statement (currently at 5700 - might not be doable)
Speech
I have my first JETS speech coming up in August... I've already got a topic and an opening paragraph, but I haven't worked on it beyond that >_< I need to present it on 8/8... grr, will work on it this weekend without fail.
Couch
So I'm probably buying a leather black couch in the next few days (6') - been chatting with this guy from craigslist about it for over a week now. I've been wanting a couch like it (the type that swallows you up and is uber-comfortable) for a while now. Doesn't help my budget goals to buy it (it's $150) but I really want it ;_; Hoping to go and see it today and get it delivered shortly after. I've needed a couch and/or real chair in my living room for a while (beanbag & folded futon just don't cut it...). I think it's worth it to spend the $$, especially if I really like the couch~
Ho-hum
-Definitely decided to get the iPhone - but have also about 70% decided I am not visiting Japan before Fall 2009. (got to use the Japanese on the iPod Touch & it's fantastic~)
-I want to go see Hancock & Wall-E this Friday/Saturday... I don't have to pay for Hancock (I have an AMC giftcard for the Metreon) but I do have to pay for Wall-E (it's at Westfield which is Cinemark).
-I've come up with two budget-helpful food decisions: I will now eat cup noodles at least twice a week and chef boyardee ravioli at least twice a week - but the two are only to be bought when on sale. I'm still thinking of good inexpensive lunch options (plan to check out walgreens to see if they still have a selection of $1 frozen food dinners that I can buy).
-Finished the RomeoxJuliet anime on Monday night~ I really enjoyed it ^_^ Good series, some nice visuals, and good storyline (but who's surprised about the last part? : P )
-Bought a relaxation oil air freshener for my bedroom - hope this will help me get to bed faster on work nights (think it helped yesterday)
-Have promised myself (again >_<) that I will keep myself from buying things at Walgreens unless absolutely necessary
-Work is ho-hum - might update about it later
Think that's all for now.
