Okay…

Getting a little better now. You know, since I didn’t go and spend a load of money today.

I just got my Capital One statement today. Consider the following: I charged $363.94 on it during the billing period, and paid $100. Conclusion – BAAAD! BUT – oh snap! Magically, my APR went down to 20.8%! Debt number below has been adjusted to account for the interest being slapped on.

Alright… last night, I bought a bag of sunflower seeds. I used to be hooked on the things, and wouldn’t mind getting hooked on them again – they stave off hunger, and are a good, healthy replacement for cigarettes. Also, you know, almost ran over a drunk on the way there, but whatever.

We had a big ole hazmat incident down at Foodland today. Had Snyder’s friend from 39 run in to CVS to get me a bottle of soda ($1.58, and no, I didn’t know bottled water was on it’s way over) and a pack of smokes ($3.99, I know, I just bought a pack yesterday, I’m a bad boy… hence the sunflower seeds).

I’m also learning that I should really use that swell ledger that comes with checkbooks… that way I’ll know what I actually have to compute these balances, rather than having to figure out what checks haven’t been cashed yet every day.

Is it annoying that I’m analyzing each and every little purchase? I’ve got to justify them somehow, I guess.
