Phew! What a week. And it's only Thursday..! But I've got a wonderful, relaxing day planned: a mani/pedi, catching up with an old friend, and a hairs cut. I never make the time to do these things during the semester. How do you relax?
An unrelated question: are you a spender or a saver? If you're not naturally a saver, how do you make yourself save? If you're a saver, what kinds of things are you willing to splurge on? I spent wayyy too much on Christmas.. time to buckle down again!

I need a mani/pedi so bad. Also, teach me how to knit! Haha, I just can't seem to GET IT!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely more of a saver lately!
How is it already Thursday? Oh my goodness! Thanks for including me in this week's list!
ReplyDeleteChristmas cards--and actually having time to write and send them! Ahh, to have a life again for a couple of weeks. =)
ReplyDeleteI get health insurance in January too! haha...so sick of having crappy insurance (or none at all!). I also love Diet DP and F+tM :)
ReplyDeleteI am both a mix of spender and saver. I can easily put money away to save and stay away from the mall, but every so often, when I haven't been shopping in a while, I have to go on a little binge.
This does not apply to food, as I have no limits when it comes to the grocery store!
my friend taught me to knit this summer - and i'm terrible at it. really, it was too much work for my hands, they would get so tense that it hurt! so i had to give it up. :/ also, i'm too much of a perfectionist for knitting - it never looked good enough to me.
ReplyDeleteknitting is SO HARD - even when you have someone to teach you in person! I still haven't mastered binding on and casting off so DON'T FEEL BAD. it definitely takes a lot of practice.
ReplyDeleteoh my goshhhhh Kristen I've been so busy this week but have been meaning to say to you:
ReplyDelete1) I LOVE the peppermint syrup. it's delicious in EVERYTHING.
2) THANK YOU SO MUCH for my raspberry surprise!! I'm going to give it to Boyfriend for Christmas (hope he's not reading..) because he always wants to buy raspberry jam and I'm a grape jelly kinda girl.
3) I haven't tried the boysenberry yet - any suggestions?
you're the best!! <3
yeah, my first knitting project is definitely going to be a gift for mama 'cause she'll appreciate my hard work no matter how ugly : ) it really is hard to learn!!
ReplyDeleteoooo, January is gonna be a good month!
ReplyDeleteI'm really good at saving when I have no money.. like, I can make the last $100 in my bank account laaaaaaaaast. but if my balance is bigger, I have no self control. it's a problem.
Congrats on finishing the semester!! That's the best feeling in the world I swear. I hope you enjoy your mani/pedi, ah man that sounds so nice right now!
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely a saver but I will splurge on big things every now and then. Like my laptop. (which I totally don't regret getting in the slightest. :)
And darn, I don't have Netflix but I'm seriously thinking about getting it so I can have it for this trip. Especially if you say they have a lot of documentaries. You'll have to tell me if "To Be and To Have" is any good. It sounds like it would be!
