Short Adventure!

I've been poor for the last few months and have done a good job of acting like it. I haven't been out to eat except for cheap happy hour, haven't been out to the bars at all and I've limited my impulse shopping to a pair of jeans (they actually sell straight leg girls jeans now!) and a few t-shirts. So when I found out that the MLS championship would be held in Seattle and that tickets were only $25 I thought maybe I could justify it. Then I watched on TV as the LA Galaxy qualified, meaning David Beckham would be in the final and that sealed the deal. $25 to see Landon Donovan, Beckham, Robbie Findley? To what other championship game can you get a ticket for $25? I only hope there won't be too many douchebag Seattle fans there (fat chance).

My roommate's disgusting, old, smelly dog vanished last week. Perhaps she was sick of being old and smelly and found a crevice to duck under and call it a day. Perhaps someone kidnapped her. More likely, some noseybody took a look at her patchy fur, assumed she was abused and took her away "for her own good". My money is on the Crazy Cat Lady across the street. In any case, the house smells infinitely better, but we were still getting whiffs of Wiley every now and then, so I set about vacuuming today. The adult boys' band had a show tonight, so I used the opportunity to vacuum around where their equipment normally is in the basement. I'm fairly certain that the basement has never actually been vacuumed before. The poor machine nearly exploded! No wonder I have sneezing fits down here so much.

Still looking for a new place to live, but at least my current roommate secured me a couch and a loveseat at his moving/delivery job. I'll have a place to sit! I'm looking at December and Christmas break to get a place and move in. It'll will have been over three years since I've lived alone and even then it was only for nine months. Nine months in 27 years... for a loner that's a pretty surprising stat.

Its awful being too poor...but later (hopefully) when things ease you will always remember how you got around being broke...and if it happened again at least you know how to live...

Some people wouldn't have a clue how to economise... but its not much fun not having enough money.

Pleased you get to see all the c elebs like beckham and crew...

whats a douchebag? I have a glimmering of an idea I know but...

Never know the dog may still return...

Re living alone...I wasn't much good at ot when i was 17...in a strange city with no money...then Don and i joined forces...

Now alone again and am pleased that apart from the grief which never seems to ease - (it will one day) I am handling living alone, out of town minus my lovely old kelpie dog...I don't get the horrors like i did when I was 17 but now 55 so i should be handling it.

Do you spend christmas with family??
