Ok, first let me just say that the declining number of blog posts is not because I have given up on saving money and am drowning my sorrows in booze. Who does that? Booze is awesome and should only be drunk to perpetuate awesomeness. No, the reason Im not blogging more is because I still haven't taken my mac to get fixed. This means the only time I have access to a computer is when I go home- which yes, is usually about once a week. If you do the math this computes to 4 blogs a month- but then you have to factor in tv. I dont have a tv at my apartment either, which means I have to cram a weeks worth of How I Met Your Mother into 1-2 days. No small feat.
Sigh, I feel so much better now that I got that off my chest- I didnt want you to think I was cheating on you with another blog. I could never do that. I love you my broke ass blog. Anyways, heres the spending update: booze. Yea, that pretty much sums it up. I really am not an alcoholic and normally only drink once a week. But damn this last week felt like a staycation with all the booze Ive consumed.
It started last thursday with the hawks game- ok those beers were actually free- but we'll just say for arguements sake that they were the gateway beers. Then there was the bottle of wine friday- old friend from High School was in town that I probably hadn't seen in 5 years. We each had our own bottle-- which really is nothing when you consider 5 years of catching up.
Two days later one of my best friends from college came to town. Wineeeee. Beerrrrr. Vinegar popcorn.... Cough, hack. What do you mean you don't sell it without the vinegar?! Stupid hipsters and their vinegar popcorn. Yea, I'll take another beer to wash down the vinegar. Bleahhhhhh.
If you live in Atlanta maybe you've heard of The Porter Beer Bar and their strangely ass flavored vinegar popcorn. Forget the popcorn... Just flip through their 29 page beer menu, close your eyes and point. Fun game. What next? How about our receipt from the beer bar gives us a free growler at Chevron. Say what?!!!!! Yes, Chevron now offers beer on tap! God bless America land of the free... Flowing beer... Sigh.
We had to get our free growler... Obviously. Then for some reason, maybe because GA has a law against open containers we went to another bar- where we couldnt drink our growler, but instead had to buy their beer. At the time spending more money on more booze so we could sit at a bar seemed like a better idea than sitting in our car and passing the growler back and forth. I mean, we are civilized after all.
And, now that ive come completely full circle- its been a week since the basketball game- can i give it a rest? Apparently not. My cousin Travis is in town on business and we're getting beers after I get off work. I really should keep a running tally of how much money Ive spent on booze in the last seven days... But Im scared. :(
Here's to no more boozing! After tonight! Until St. Patricks Day! Unless something really awesome comes up in the mean time. Gah!
