money money money money... MONEY!

So I'm being all adult-like and making out a budget for myself. I have to say, it's not easy when what you make varies from week to week. However, I am creating spreadsheets to keep track of my spending. I've come up with categories so I can see where I need to cut back or whatever. Also, since I get paid weekly, two of my paychecks will automatically go into my savings account, one will go towards my student loans, and the other will be free spending money. Or more savings if I don't spend it. I figure it's about time I really start saving up for things like an apartment, a car, and/or a trip to Japan. Hell, even 'smaller' things like a new laptop, external hard drive, a new digital camera (mine totally crapped out on me), and the like.

Plus, I love spreadsheets and making lists ^_^

Now, having said all that, I totally want this. Mmmm... dirt scented candles. Makes me miss the good ol' days when Crayola had those scented crayons. White was baby powder; black was leather; brown was dirt; etc. I think I'll buy one of the big candles tomorrow since I have to buy my L: Change the WorLd ticket anyway.
