September has been the best month of 2008.  I have had amazing dances, fun times hanging out with friends, good times at work, and I think I’ve had a smile on my face all month.  People have been noticing, I’ve been radiating confidence, and have been getting ‘attention’.  I have started Pilates, more Bellydance, and have taken some more dance classes. I’ve registered for an event in November, and have realized that I can’t afford an event in October that I want to go to.  There’s a guy on whom I have a crush — at least as far as I can tell at this point it wont likely be serious.
All in all, September has been a fantastic month. I’ve loved it, and I’m excited for October.
Tonight I stayed home. My head was a bit sore, so I decided that home on my couch is probably the best thing for me. It was great: PJ’s at 6pm. I spent the evening chatting with A about shoes and doing my finances for September. Overall my spending was about the same as for August. This is impressive given I went to San Francisco, and multiple trips to Seattle.  But I need to improve things. I’ve cancelled my private medical (I have work medical now), and have moved my bills to a lower interest rate account, so that will reduce interest.   But I need to: reduce restaurant spending, reduce coffee spending, and I need to sort out the possibility of a roommate situation. Not something I’m excited about, but it’s reality — I need to reduce my spending. Hopefully this stress will ease.
So my goal for this week: No eating out.  I’ll have to carefully plan my meals, but I would like to not spend money there — not restaurant or coffee spending.  So on that note, I need to go, make my lunch for tomorrow.
