Well, yesterday wasn't perfect, but it was an improvement for me. We really wanted to see a new movie that came out Friday, so we went to the cheap theater and saw a matinee (only $4.50 each). We brought our own small snacks and really had a great time. I sold a book on half.com yesterday too, and it completely covers my movie ticket, so I'm happy about that. I'm about to leave for work soon. I work a 9 hour shift today, so that will be a good earning for today. I also get paid today. That money will be used to pay rent though.

I have been really working hard at not using my credit card at all. I used to pop it out like gum (I don't know quite the right reference here lol), but I've been resisting and saying, if it's not in my checking account, it's money I don't have. I do have to be careful though, because I can risk getting my checking account dangerously low using it all the time. I guess I have to tell myself if I don't want it so low, I can't spend any money.

I'm coming home for my lunch hour today so I can save money by eating at home instead of buying lunch at work (I live literally 5 minutes from work and it's mandatory that we take hour lunch breaks, unfortunately).

I'm trying to make an important decision about something. Months ago, I asked off for this Saturday because I was invited to go to an amusement park with some friends. I'm rethinking it though because even getting in $10 cheaper (my friend has discount passes) doesn't help me with food costs or anything. I mean, I'm already off from work for the day, but I almost think I'd be better off staying home saving money than going off spending money that I Don't Have!

Also, I've just been told the updated carpool status is 5 people will be riding in 1 tiny car. Did I mention, I only know ONE of the people going. The others I've never met, and I'm not thrilled at the thought of being squished up against someone I've never met for over an hour drive. Hmm, I thinking of canceling. I have a nice vacation coming up in August that's already prepaid for anyways, so I don't really NEED this one. Well, I need to pack some snacks for my short breaks at work (I'm hypoglycemic), so I better get going.
