A while back, on one of the podcasts
@newmouse2008 (Teresa) was talking about working on her budget and seeing if she gave up certain things, how much more she had to spend on vacation. I think there was something in there about giving up magazines and maybe Dr. Pepper?
It is just a simple truth of life that sometimes we have to give things up or change the way we spend money to be able to afford everything we want. I needed to get a replacement car after my old car started to die. Unfortunately, that car payment means I now I have to cut back and save money in other areas where I didn't before. It stinks, but it's life.
In other news... despite having been to a few meets, been on a DisCruise and gone to the Star Wars showing, I've never actually met Pete. It's partially because I'm on the quiet side and he's so outgoing, I think I just get nervous and clam up. It's silly, I know and he's quite lovely, but still... I'd say my goal for the 10th Anniversary meet would be to hug Pete, but he hugged me at the Star Wars showing and took me completely by surprise, so I'm all good on that front.
