Money has been pissing me off lately, so for the month of June I am going to declare a Frugality Challenge for myself. The object: spend as little as possible beyond groceries and bills.

Most of my money-hemmorhaging is due to food-related laziness or impulse. So the biggest steps towards the title of FruGirl will be sticking to the following:

* Cook instead of ordering in (or at least order in the $6 general tao tofu instead of the $30 indian food)
* No chocolate bars or hot dogs at work
* Make muffins on the weekend instead of going to Timmy's

If anyone feels like joining me in frugality, please feel free - if there are other people involved it will kick my butt into sticking with it!

I am having a freaking-out-and-climbing-the-walls day. I should write but I can't focus. Allowing myself to think only results in Aaack Carpentry No I Am Finally Employed And Financially Independent And What The Fuck Am I Doing To My Life??? Making muffins while singing loudly along to a Holly Cole CD helped for about 45 minutes, but now I'm back to being an insane restless internet zombie. And my goddamned unevenly heated oven burned half the muffins, too. I love my stove, but the oven is bloody useless.

Corey is off getting the car fixed AGAIN - we drove over a 2" screw coming home from getting groceries, so off to Canadian Tire he's gone. I would heckle him to come for a walk when he gets home but he's got a ton of work to do for an upcoming conference in TX. God what I wouldn't give to be within coffee range of someone.

I just ran across and downloaded a Sarah McLachlan song called When She Loved Me, from the Toy Story 2 soundtrack. I damn well should have known better. That song totally goes on the "never listen to this unless I want to have a good cry" list, along with just about anything by Eva Cassidy (gorgeous as her stuff is) and that Memories To Bed song I got from iclysdale.
