GBU - December 4, 2011

The first one of December!!!!


The Good: 
  • Minus 1 stocking stuff, my Holiday shopping is done!
  • Work was boring this week, but it allowed my brain to slow done a bit.
  • The house is Beginning to Look Alot Like Christmas.
  • G-man found a great birch log for the Yule Log.
  • A neighbor offered to cut up the fallen tree in our yard (I made him dinner as a thank you).

The Bad:
  • Grocery Budget is non-existent until payday.
  • I paid the water bill....$338....which now will throw off the money for tax bill for the car that I was hoping to pay in December instead of January.
  • G-man now knows what half his gifts are for Christmas (due to my mistake).
     
The Ugly:
  • Can't find a babysitter for next weekend, which means I will probably have to miss a party (G-man will go, as it is hosted by people he works with).
  • My "simple" way of handling all the transfers blew up in my face and it took me several hours to figure it out.
  • At least four strands of Christmas lights have decided to meet their demise this year (1 is totally dead.  3 are half dead...and yes, we tried replacing bulbs).

I am trying to remember that this is only the first weekend of December, and I am not behind!!!


You know the deal....what are your GBUs this week?????

  1. Hmmmmm let's see:
    Good - I have a Christmas spending plan! My heating bill was only $45, I accidentally overpaid my cell phone bill last month so this month it's only $15!; going out for dinner tonight with my brother and sister-in-law! Going to see Prince tomorrow night!
    Bad - slept in til 10:30 today ( too much fun last night!); pouring down rain today - the gloom is giving me a headache.
    Ugly - way overspent on entertainment this weekend - not a good start to the PLAN (see Good above!)

  2. We get billed every 6 months, and typically it is about $200-$220. Refilling the pool after we had the pool liner replaced......and here we are....$338.

  3. Good - I'm graduating this week! I got a $506 Christmas bonus, so I can meet my December debt goal AND buy awesome Christmas presents for the fam. My week and a half vacation starts this Thursday!

    Bad - I am so behind on household chores that I don't think I'll ever catch up. Every time I leave the bed I'm reminded of how much I have to do. So... Can I just stay in bed forever?

    Ugly - The cats' litter box. 'Nuff said. I'm also in the process of scanning last years APs at work. I need to take a picture of my desk. Huge stacks of paper EVERYWHERE. I'm hoping the mess encourages me to get it done quickly.
