Well, today has certainly been a lazy day, and kind of monumental all at the same time!
Today rent was due. So, me and the roomies got all of our money together. We had all been pretty stressed about not having enough, but of course we did. I knew that we would, but this month was so financially and emotionally draining. I'm so happy it's finally over and we made it. I know things will be a lot easier in the coming months, and we'll all have a little extra breathing room as far as money is concerned, and that's always lovely!
Me and April are planning a late spring/early summer shopping spree on May, 16th. We picked a date and a time already, so we have something big to look forward to. We wrote it down in our planners, and we're going to save every nickle and dime we come across so we have plenty of money. We're both really excited because last night we discovered that there is an H&M in Kentucky! Who freaking knew! Granted, it's 3 hours away, but the mall has an H&M, Forever 21, Charlotte Russe, and Wet Seal. The closest Forever 21 is over two hours away, and the closest Wet Seal is over an hour away, and we didn't even know that there was a H&M or a Charlotte Russe in the state until last night! So, we're pretty much sold, and don't care how long it takes to get there!
Have you guys seen this commercial?
It's for the new Amazon Kindle. I think the commercial is so pretty, and really inspires me to knit for some reason. I love all the colors, and the adorable little song. It also makes me want a Kindle even more than i did before! They're pretty reasonably priced, but for some reason i thought the downloads would be cheaper. It's $9.99 per book, and in a lot of cases a few extra dollars would buy you the actual book. I'd really like to have one though. I think i'm going to ask for Amazon gift cards for my birthday and christmas this year!
It's about time to get ready for work. So, that's a little bit of a bummer!
I'll see you fine folks later!
I wanted a Kindle until I found out how expensive the books were. :/ I figure I'll just go to the library. But I bet they're really neat anyway! And I'm still excited for you for having your own place.
ReplyDeleteI know. The books are really expensive to me. For some reason i was imagining that the books were going to be like, $1.99 a piece. But i'm a huge cheapskate and i think everything should be free. and thank you!
ReplyDeleteI know, I thought they were going to be like 99 cents a download also!
ReplyDeleteA whole lot of the books are free for a limited time. I'm not really sure how it works but over half of what my mom has downloaded have been free.
ReplyDeleteoh? i had no idea! i read on amazon.com that all books that were written before 1932 are free for download, but it didn't mention anything else. thanks for the info though! does your mom like her kindle? i really, really want one!
ReplyDeleteYeah she'll go look at the best sellers and download the free ones. Her sister usually fills her in about ones that are good and free too lol. But she loves it, and I love that I can read all of her books via the computer.
ReplyDeletethat's so awesome! i really want to get one!
