Let's get ready to rummmmmmmmble!!!

I was told WrestleMania was today. Hence, the title of this post. Not that I will be watching, but ya know..

Sunday
$0

My stepbrother and his family came over for the afternoon today. While they were here I taught my 4 year old nephew how to box and play Mario Kart on the Wii. Go me.

Have a great rest of the weekend, folks!

Le sigh

Today was another errand day. And I overspent, like an idiot. But here goes!

Saturday
Giant: $80
Escape Salon: $35
(foil highlights + tip - I got a sweet deal!)
Hot Topic: $25
(a dress and a shirt...I had coupons and a birthday discount)
Victoria's Secret: $85
(ouch...but I love nice underwears)

So yeah I overdid it today a little bit. But soon I will have regular paychecks rolling in so I guess it isn't so bad. But I'm still going to try and control the spending because why waste money?

Today was a good day

This morning I met with my recruiter and set everything up to start the new job next week. Passed a drug test. Got fingerprinted. Submitted for a background check. All is good to go. I also met a new friend for lunch this afternoon, someone who suffers from some of the same health issues I have. It was nice to have someone who really understands, finally.

Thursday
$0

Friday
Child Abuse Clearance: $10
Gas: $35.01

Hopefully the weekend brings out some fun. 

Happy hump day!

I hate that expression, btw.

Anyway onto the spending!

Tuesday
$0!

Wednesday
Super Shoes: $40
(2 new scrub tops for the new job)

I was tempted to look at the sneakers too, considering I was at a shoe store, but I restrained myself. Fun sneakers are always good for work. I like fancy, bright colored shoes. I will probably be looking for a new pair once I get a couple of paychecks under my belt.

Funday Monday

Today was a great day. I did spend some money, but it was worthwhile spending. My dog, Atticus, has been having a lot of accidents lately and so I decided to call the vet to see if there was anything we could do. Turns out they make medicine for that! So now Atti is on Pro-in twice a day, which should hopefully stop him from needing to pee like every 5 minutes.

Monday
Banfield: $25.18
(doggie anti-pee meds)

Now onto the great part of the day. I had a job interview this afternoon, with Hershey Medical Center. The job is in the Urology department and what they need is someone to help convert paper charts to electronic charts, and pre-load patient information into the e-chart. Doesn't sound so bad. And I got the job! I don't know when I will start yet, but it should be within the next week or so. *happy dance*

The next thing is getting back to the temp agency to meet with my recruiter and fill out all my paperwork. Plus get all my papers submitted for a background check and child abuse clearance. I've been through all of this before, when I worked for Wellspan, but it's still a huge pain. Especially the child abuse clearance because I need to remember every address I've lived at for the past 10 years. I've moved a lot, so it's kind of tough. Remembering all the zip codes is the worst.

Anyway.. considering it's nearly 3am I should really get some sleep.

Goodnight, whoever happens to be reading this!

It's the weekend..

Friday

Saturday

Hope all of you that celebrate the holiday had a lovely food, family, and friend filled day. If you're not an Easter-celebrater then I still wish you a happy Sunday.

Weekly catch-up

I've been doing very well this week. 4 days in a row where I haven't spent a dime! *happy dance*

Otherwise life is ok. I spent Monday and some of Tuesday catching up on season 5 of True Blood. I don't normally get HBO so that was a bit of a treat. I'm trying out Game of Thrones now, so far it isn't bad, but I find it hard to keep track of everyone's names and where they're from and their rank/royalty. It's interesting though. So far I'm on episode 3 of the first season and there are 2 seasons to get through. I'm not sure if I will be able to watch all of both seasons before Sunday. Maybe. Does anyone know if this show is on Netflix or anything?

As far as the dating game goes, I have stopped seeing the guy I was talking about around the time of my birthday. Things just never went anywhere, or seemed that they would. I was driving over an hour to see him and all we would ever do is go to his favorite local bar. Anytime I suggested something different he'd scoff at it. It just didn't feel right, so I broke it off. Not that there was much to break off in the first place, because we weren't even an actual couple. It had barely been a month. I've gone on a few dates since and nothing has come of any of them. That's okay though, it was a reason to get out and meet someone new, even if it never went anywhere. I don't need a boyfriend, but I must admit it would be nice. I do want someone to care about and in return someone to care about me. I have my family of course, but it's just not the same.

Anyway enough about that business. Tomorrow is Good Friday and my Mom is treating me to lunch at my favorite Vietnamese place as a late birthday gift. Yay!

No spend day!

I woke up to the unexpected and unpleasant surprise of snow this morning. So, I decided today would be a great day to catch up on the last season of True Blood and not spend any money. So far, up to episode 4.

Monday

Spendy Sunday

Made a trip to CVS today for some essentials. I know things are probably a bit cheaper at Target or Walmart, but those stores leave too much opportunity for random impulse purchases that I really do not need. CVS, because I used to work there, does not. I just want to get in and get out.

Sunday
CVS: $30.61
(toothbrush, razors, a new hairbrush, face-wipes...etc.)

Now...back to watching Bar Rescue, my current tv addiction.

No spend Saturday!!

Didn't spend a dime today. Go me.

Enjoy your weekend, everyone!
