Not paying COBRA, paying for my own insurance privately. That IS my budget killer and a job with benefits would change everything. I really like the part-time job I have now, but I just don't think it will evolve into anything full-time.
Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

YES. I'd made the connection earlier, but then forgot when I posted.

Because books.
Two creamsicles isn't too many, right?
I can't imagine paying for private insurance, msbelle. I can imagine that's a total budget-killer.

Managing a donation drive is hard. Hats off to all of you who do this. We had to put together a list of people from 4 different spheres to contact for three different people, using 4 different methods of payment (cash, IOU, check and paypal.) And 4 of us are doing collections, so I've set up a google doc to share so we can track it all (esp for me, since I'm doing the paypal.)

In non-sense-making news, talk of budgets and spending less money has led to me to window shop for clothes online.
I may need to soother myself with another creamsicle.

I had a Coldwater Creek Groupon for $50 that was set to expire yesterday, and I got this blouse with it: [link] in white. After shipping, etc., I paid $3 and change, plus I paid $25 for the Groupon. So, $28 total for that blouse. Not bad. But I need to stop impulse-buying Groupons.
Except for sushi.
