Currently Playing: Baking Life

June 2, 2010 at 4:05 pm | Filed under the internets

I’m a sucker for Facebook apps because it’s totally against my character to play Facebook apps. I’m quick to tire of them, though, because some of them get too tedious to play after a while and/or cause my browser to crash as I reach higher levels. It kinda blows but at least it frees up some of my internet time.

A week or so ago, I came across Baking Life. It’s a lot like Cafe World and Restaurant City (I’ve stopped playing both games) but cuter because it’s got cupcakes, donuts, and other pretty pastries that’ll make you crave for IRL sweets (the kind that’ll make you fat and need diet supplements)! I’ve leveled up pretty fast which just shows what a big loser I am.

I Will Be Good With Money

June 2, 2010 at 4:02 pm | Filed under the helga manual

Here is an embarrassing truth: I am bad with money. I have trouble saving and controlling my expenses. It’s the kind of thing that’s sort of okay when you’re, like, 17; it’s unacceptable, though, when you’re 25.

I was talking personal finances with lover last night and I laid out my priorities: fully pay off my credit card bill by August, save up for a new laptop, and then a new phone (maybe; I have three phones right now; one is with my dad and one just needs a new battery and a charger). I have a nice amount of money coming in soonish and I’ll be putting all of it towards my credit card bill (and can I just say that I am so excited? I was doing some manual mathematics last night while in bed— multiplication, addition, subtraction— and I got all giddy at the idea of being debt-free, it’s ridiculous) NO MATTER WHAT. I say “no matter what” because knowing myself, I’m bound to spend a little of that money on something else (like Lipofuze).

So I have a new mantra, one that I doodled all over my notebook last night and chanted to myself this morning: I will be good with money. I need to, I swear. So I can be decked out in bling and have a mouse dancing on my shoulder.

(I asked lover why he thinks I’m bad with money. He said it’s because there’s too many cute things in the world. True.)
