ooh the holidays...

so much has happened since the last time i blogged. ive had plenty ups and plenty downs. life so far is good. i really shouldnt complain since i have a job, im healthy, and i have great family and friends. ive been enjoying my time in the city and have made some close friends. dance parties happen almost weekly, and im starting to enjoy drinking wine. work is going well, i havent really dreaded going into the office that much. i feel depressed. maybe its bc i just paid a bunch of bills. i got paid, oh lets say, 47 min ago and my paycheck is already cut down to 200 dollars left till the next 14 days. oh joy. if i only i could really just stop swiping my damn credit/debit cards and really learn how to budget. i need to know the difference btwn need and want. i need help. but, a big major spike in the debt was due to einstein getting sick. i paid down almost half of one credit card but put it all back on and then some with vet bills. im really hoping i can turn back around and bounce back into the saving mode, but its the holidays.. its going to get ugly.
