Hello! Life is getting a little better. My grades on two of my midterms were fine, so I’m not quite as worried as I was before. I still have to get three of them back, so we will see how I feel about this whole thing by then. I’m glad that midterms are over though. I’ve had 10 exams in the past 3 weeks and I have had enough! Thank goodness it’s over (well, for a week, then we have more exams)!
I found this hilarious article about someone going “Fresh Prince” on the balloon boy. It’s certainly worth a read! I laughed for 5 minutes straight.
Hmmm, what else is going on in my life? Oh! Ryan and I are stuck in this grocery rut. We spend so much on food no matter what we plan our menu to be. It can be health food, fast food (not McDonalds, like 30 minute meal style), cheap food, doesn’t matter. We still manage to spend the same amount on groceries every time that we go to the store. Who knows. It’s not a ton of money (about $90 for 2 weeks of meals), but we wanted to get it a little cheaper than that. We’ll see what happens. Maybe we’ll try going to a different grocery store.
Our Halloween costumes have still gone no-where. We’ve gotten some ideas, so hopefully we will find one that we want to stick with. We’ve thought about Juno/Bleaker, the Flintstones, Zoo Keeper and Animal. Not very original, lol. Some of the people that are coming are dressing in nerdy science garb, so maybe we will go that route. Who knows. I’m starting to get very nervous about this party though! My apartment is small and 22 people have RSVPed. Yikes!! We have a little courtyard outside down the fire escape, so we will encourage balcony and courtyard mingling. We’re going to have chicken wing dip, coke cupcakes, rice crispy treats, sugar cookies, punch (alcoholic and non-alcoholic), and mixed Halloween drinks. We made a music play list and such. It’s going to be fun, I just get nervous with all these people coming over. I assume that they all care way more than they do (I hope). They’re not judgmental people, I just think too much into it. Seriously though – look on facebook, my place is small! Hopefully people will come in shifts or we’re going to be in trouble!
Wow. . . that’s a lot of exams.
That sounds like my family. Instead of clothes and junk, we spend our money on food. (Mostly because it’s organic) ;p
Nothing wrong with you people liking food. It’s good for you.
Flintstones. . I like that idea best.
Yay for life getting better. Hope your exams went well also.
I just read that article and busted out laughing. I really needed a good laugh, so thank you for that.
Hope you and Ryan solved everything about the grocery problem. Where I live, Foodland will always have this one sale: Pick 5 meats for $20. Of course, I’m going to pick out some steak, ground beef…etc. Whatever meat I decide to have for dinner, the rest of the 4 packages goes into the freezer. I’ll normally spend $40 at the store. Since I’m getting on a coupon kick, it might be less than that

Hope your Halloween party turned out to be great. You’ll have to look me up on facebook, so I’ll send you an email soon.
Take care and have a nice night

That sounds like the makings for a seriously fun Halloween. And grocery shopping, I find pasta meals/chili/soups go a long way for a budget.
I’m glad to hear that life’s going well for you! And that’s awesome to hear about the first 2 midterms! Good luck with the last 3! =)
Hehe, I spend SOO much on food too! That’s where the majority of my money goes too…
Hehe, wow, I’m surprised you’re still planning a party when you live in an apartment. Hehe. Good luck with thinking of a costume!
