• Spending time and money

  So I'm back from New York. I had a blast! It was more than I ever expected it to be.  We didn't do a lot of the touristy stuff -- like see the Statue of Liberty or go up the Empire State Bldg, but every day was a busy fun filled day.  We stayed in Midtown Manhattan at this hotel called Sherbourne. Just about 2 blocks from Chill Lounge and Wet Bar on Lexington (I keep forgetting if 48th or 38th was the cross street).  We did the Sex and the City tour, went to Babbo, Serendipity 3, Magnolia's, Lombardi's Pizza, Guggenheim Museum. Saw the famous bull near Wall Street area, got a caricature drawing, saw 3 plays, gave my left over metro card to a mother with child....and basically spent more money than I expected because the shopping is so awesome there! How can you say no to shopping when there's no sales tax on shoes and clothing! Loved it!!

  Now that I'm back, I'm working my arse off to pay off the bills...and boy, it's plenty. Not to mention that the holiday season is coming up and usually around this time of year is when most of my friend's start throwing birthday parties and parties in general. I definitely need to cut some spending somewhere. I guess I'll have to start with the eating at home thing! The problem?? I don't have the desire to cook! But a girl's got to save where she can (at least until the bills are paid in full) -- which I'm hoping will be next month.  

  In December, I have all that shopping to do, but I'm going to ask my friends to do a Secret Santa thing instead cuz it's just cheaper that way.  Seriously, at this point in my life, I really don't care to get gifts. I'd rather be taken out to a nice dinner.  I have such little space left in my room, that I really can't afford to get any more trinkets, lotion, etc. etc.

  I hate cutting this short, but I gotta go...
