Wino check-in

kellyjellybelly

Who's here tonight?

aMrsin09

I am kind of. 

Updating the budget, but I only have 11 minutes until noon, so drinking may be on the agenda for today

kellyjellybelly

Uggg I really need to work out a budget,  I have trouble cause H is on 100% commission.

I'm a wino!  ........errr, I mean I'm here. But I need to go to bed soon, because I have a 14-hour drive from NJ back to Milwaukee tomorrow.

kellyjellybelly

Sarah - are you driving by yourself?  At least the weather is supposed to be beautiful!

Yup! Over the past few years, I have more or less become a long-haul truck driver. It doesn't bother me all that much anymore.

I am here, but no wine.  Just sweet tea. 

aMrsin09

I recommend Quicken.  It puts the whole ugly truth right out there.  It's amazing how much those "little" things like lattes, ,etc add up when you are forced to keep track of them.  Makes it real easy to see what is so not necessary.

I've been trying to put us on a 'pay off our debt' plan.  Every time I think we're starting to get somewhere, H basically doesn't get a paycheck for a month, and we're back to square one.  I've been trying really hard to not spend money on anything not essential.  We've been barraged with baby showers, wedding showers and wedding for the past few months.  I wish I would magically come into some money :)

I had a yuck tastic day at work so now I've got my glass of wine and I'm ignoring the world.

On a good note - I think we have FINALLY settled something with the house we're buying

Beachy730

I'm here, with a fresh glass of wine.  I actually started with a Cosmo because I had a mix from my friend's bridal shower.

H uses Quicken and has us on a budget.  I'm not used to it.  I've already been told though that I will be getting a tutorial on it soon since I need to keep it up once he's gone.

Sunshine9463

I'm here... drinking pinot gris and waiting for Glee to start!
Aaand I will be watching teen mom after that  ::hangs head::

DH is at a friend's farm pruning grapes, so it is just me, the bottle and boobtube tonight.

Btw, Congrats squirrly!

aMrsin09

It's pretty easy once you get used to it.

kellyjellybelly

I either shut off my alarm this morning, or it never went off.  Either way I didn't get to work until 7:30.  Oops.  That's an hour late!  I'm more pissed that that is an hour of pay off my paycheck.  Bummer.

Beachy730

I've actually used it before, but I'm not good at keeping up with it.  We definitely have cut back on all the coffee buying and stuff.  That was almost $10 a day between the 2 of us. 


I can't wait for Glee to start!  I actually made a new friend across the street from me whose husband is already deployed so I invited her over for wine and Glee.

kellyjellybelly

Yay for new friends!

andy71781

Um wow - holy crap I'm currently obsessing over the miners and the rescue.  The first rescuer just went down the hole!!!

Beachy730

Yeah I'm excited, especially since she is right across the street. 

Ooh we decided for sure that we are going to visit  friends in Portland this weekend.  I'm so excited to go to Voodoo Donuts!  I've seen it so mnay times on the Food Network.

KJB- My name is Kelly, and I always do a double take when you post. I'm called KellyBelly, JellyKelly, etc., so it makes me smile.

I actually have an aunt named shelley that works in a deli with a niece named kelly,
(and we both have big bellies) Thought you might appreciate that.

kellyjellybelly

Andy - how was your meeting?  I'm following the miners on CNN - H had Sons of Anarchy recording, so I can't change the channel.

My Dad used to always call me Kelly Jelly Belly when I was little. :)  And my brother called me Smelly Kelly.  

Beachy730

I feel like a horrible human that I haven't paid any attention to that story.  I just put CNN on though.

andy71781

Hey!  It went really well - thanks so much for asking!  I'm watching the miners online.  I can't have the sound on because H is studying.  Stupid boys!

How was your day?

Beachy730

Haha I called my college roommate Smelley Kelley!  She spelled it -ey

Give him directions to a library!

Smelly Kelly is the worst! I was made fun of in grammar school with that name I did NOT smell!

I'm so over it now though, obvies.

kellyjellybelly

Well, I overslept, which I NEVER do, so I wasn't happy about that.  But I did appreciate the extra hour of sleep.  My mortgage company decided to cancel my autopay for some reason, so I've been trying to sort that out.  I thought I was on call at work today, and I wasn't, so that was nice.  But the weather was gorgeous, so that makes me happy

Somehow, I was never teased in school.  Just tortured by my older brother.  That's what they are there for, right?

Iiiiiiii am here. Kind of.
