Today is the first Saturday in a while that I'm not working overtime. Hooray for sleeping in, boo to a smaller paycheck next week. Oh well. Completely worth it today.
While hubby is still sleeping I'm getting online and checking out a lot of things I hadn't in a while. One of my favorites: www.wesabe.com an online financial tracking website that is A-MAZE-ing. The only con is that it is used best when you can keep up with it daily. I've been trying extra hard to have a better handle on our finances and have been doing great with writing everything down in a check registry since December. I had only done it for a week or two at the most because so many transactions fly by with the use of the handy-dandy-check card. But I'm forcing myself to write it all down. And I use a pencil to write upcoming expenses and paychecks on future pages so I can keep a pending total which has helped a ton! Yes, I may have 200$ in the bank now, but if I go to Old Navy and spend $20, that's $20 I won't have to pay bills with later and see... I need that $20 in two weeks. Anyways, don't know if that makes sense, but it has helped me so, so, so, so much. Wesabe.com does that, just electronically. I just don't have good access to it daily. I do check in with it from time to time because it has awesome graphs and budget tools and stuff. I highly recommend it.
Also, last night was the cd release show for my friend's band, Quiet Company. They put their new album on their website: www.quietcompanymusic.com yesterday for those of us that couldn't be in Austin, TX for the actual cd release concert. I played it over and over and over and can't wait to get my own copy. You need to listen to their music. You really do.
In other news, Joam is recording. I am so excited for this because I love, love, love his music. And I'm not just saying that because he's my husband. (:
I'm hoping for a great weekend this weekend. I still love my new job and my co-workers. I would probably be bored to tears if they weren't there. Instead, I'm usually laughing til I cry thanks to Nick, Sean, and Shon.
