I have discovered the secret to being wealthy-- just be super freaking busy. No, seriously. I have found out that if you really don't want to spend money, all you have to do, is not have time to spend money. Genius? (yes, you can make fun of me here).
Tomorrow is my third Friday in a row. Do you know what that means? No, the correct answer is not that I am uber grumpy or a wraging bitch (I don't wrage). The correct answer is that I have had absolutely no time to spend money. Pause for reflection. If being at work keeps me from spending money, what other activities could keep me from spending money, too?
After much thought, I decided to add to the chaos. Over the past week I have successfully amplified my hiking by approximately 50% (maybe not the most creative activity, but I like it :D.). And (dun dun dun), I am now happy to report that I have no time to do anything but gym, eat, wo(eat)rk, hike, eat, sleep, repeat. I haven't even had time to blog... BLASPHEMY.
I know, I know I sound crazy. I do not have a social life. My friend Jes, invited me to a wine festival this weekend and I had to decline, because it's $70-- and that is just not in my budget. Every Monday El Paseo has $1.95 margaritas and I have to pass. Hi, my name is Jillian Heim, and I cannot afford a $2 margarita. But, hey, that's ok. There are more important things in life than partying-- like making sure I have enough money to go anywhere or do anything for the people I love. That's what its all about.
Over and out. Jildo.
P.S. Suggestions for FREE time consuming activities are welcomed!
This past weekend I found myself ridiculously, over-the-top, unhealthfully over-committed to two things:
ReplyDelete- Re-writing all of my current recipe index cards to make them more presentable (this took appx. 1 hour)
- Dusting the house. Seriously. We live like assholes.
- I also can get pretty deep into organizing our bookshelves... sad but true
Lol... I like this. I don't have recipe cards or a duster, but maybe I will invest... when I am not broke.
