Good Lord

Your life never lacks for drama, huh? It sounds to me like you could use a vacation. A vacation to someplace fabulous, that you've never considered going to before. A place like, oh, I dunno, Minneapolis! We have two fabulous guest rooms, a new dog, and live less than 10 minutes from the Mall of America. Lots of yarn stores, a German restaurant where they sell beer in a boot (waaaaaaayyyyyy too much booze for us, but fun to watch other people drink), and tons of other great stuff. Both of you ladies are welcome anytime.

I may need to hide out with one of you, because I may murder Eric. Last paycheck was the first one we had any leftover from (cause the first 2 were totally eaten up by bills and whatnot), so I was feeling pretty good. The dog got sick and I used the rest of my money from college to pay for that,and this paycheck and the next one will be smaller than normal cause of tax stuff, but still, we were doing ok. And the what the fuck does Eric do? He comes home bitching about how annoying it was to restart our XM radio. Hang on a second, how much did that cost? Ready? Ready?



$450. What. The. FUCK! The worst part is, he has no idea what he did wrong. "But its for 3 years!" Who the fuck cares? He doesn't even drive the car that much anymore, and I'm willing to live with free radio. So instead of having $800 to get us through till next paycheck (Friday after next), we have $300 (cause with tax, the total bill was $500). The rest is for rent. I have no money left in my checking account, and I have no credit card, so I have no way to pay for anything. And we have no savings, because Eric spends everything he gets. I have no idea what to do about this. If I try to talk to him about it, he either gets defensive or accuses me of panicking. Yeah, cause not having any money to pay bills or buy food is totally not a reason to panic. Not having any savings for emergencies, or down payment on a house, or for future children is silly to worry about. I'm thinking of going back to Petsmart, just so I can hoard the money from that job. Saving $180 a week is better than nothing.

Sorry Manda, this was supposed to be a supportive post, but I'm just freaking out about money stuff. Oh, and Jen, congrats on passing the bar. I hope everything is going ok for you and Kevin.

Let's Talk Amanda!

Call me whenever you have the free time (anytime is good for me). I miss you and I love you!!!! You can always talk to me. (You too, Katie).

HELP!!!!

Time for some drama. So you both are aware of the fact that Ralph and I haven't been getting along recently. You both also know that there was someone else I recently met who is just a friend, but does like spending time with me, oh and noticing I exist. Which is a nice change. On Saturday, Ralph and I broke up. It took like 5 hours of talking to come to some sort of understand about why I was feeling what I was feeling. He spent a good chunk of the time trying to make me come back to him, comparing me to a "star" and all this other bullshit. He also accused me of cheating on him with not 1 person but 3. (Gary, Robert (the new friend), and NITIN of all people). So yeah. It is great living here now, which is probably why I've been spending every evening out somewhere else.

The thing is I don't want to be a bitch and I'm trying to be understanding. But he keeps doing weirder and weirder shit. Like 3 days ago he begged me to go to breakfast with him. and 2 nights ago he begged me to have dinner with him. I went to both, but its weird and uncomfortable for me, and he just keeps staring at me. And then yesterday he asked if we could go to the mall together to get a new battery for his watch. What the hell>!?!?

The biggest fiasco though, was today at work. He walked in to Publix as the store was finishing and pulled Robert aside and said "We need to have a chat about what you're doing with Amanda". WHAT THE FUCK!

A. We are doing nothing except hanging out with his roomie and his girlfriend.
B. NONE OF HIS BUSINESS
C. VIOLATION OF PRIVACY
D. We are AT WORK!
E. Did I mention...NONE OF HIS BUSINESS??!??1?!??1

Robert went to the office to try and talk to him and he said "This doesn't concern work in any way, so I'll call you later..." THEN WHY DID HE COME TO WORK IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!?!?!??1?!

Seriously...I'm going to kill something soon.
Call me or write something up on the blog...

Just a reminder that Xmas is coming soon, and some girls should update their wishlists so that they don't get coal for Xmas from a certain friend who currently resides in Jax and does their Xmas shopping early, like when they have money, as appose to in December when they barely work and have no money for food let alone Xmas presents...hint hint.

Just sayin'.
