It all began with my tiny unofficial mission to listen to all of these Best of 2009 albums on lala.com.
So, I put on Jay-Z’s The Blueprint 3, which has made a few of those lists, and loved “Empire State of Mind.”
Of course listening to that reminded me of the Sex and the City 2 trailer…
Which naturally made me lust after things I cannot afford, like SJP’s gold aviator sunglasses, which are running for $525.
But then I think about how the sunglasses I usually buy are from the carts in the mall, where you get knock offs for like ten bucks.
Which then makes me remember the reality of my financial situation.
So then I update my budget sheet and see that I’ve got about $2 left to eat on for the rest of the month! Eek! (Okay, not really $2, but you get the point).
And that’s how I end up here, posting about the goodness that is budgeting, meal planning, and being wise about money…and just sticking to knock off cart at the mall if I’ve just got to have gold aviators, which by the way wouldn’t really be my thing anyway. But a girl can dream, right?
As the week winds down, I can look back and say that, without a doubt, my week was one long dance with technology. Whether it was getting my new TVs set up, launching this new blog, rebuilding my work computer, and installing new software to test and document for my job, it was just all technology, all the time. At some points it was like a perfectly choreographed mambo, at others it was like a mosh pit. It’s looking pretty likely that I’m going to end the week on a slow dance, where I remember how much I love that unreliable, yet irresistible force of nature that rules my life.
