i've been balancing my checkbook lately and i must say that it's a depressing exercise. silly reality. you'd think as a bank teller i'd be all over the balancing thing, but no. really i just sort of hope i have enough money. but no more. i'm preparing for a new year of budgeting, and keeping records, and the getting together of the shit.
matt's been reminding me daily that the birthday is coming. or maybe he's reminding himself. it's hard to say. he was watching me intently while we were shopping, especially in the jewelry store, which could work for me. we finished all our shopping, got wrapping paper, ribbon, boxes. i should've got tape but probably i've got enough. we don't have all that much to wrap. i picked a light blue with silver and white fake japanese like flowers. very cute. not very christmassy but very winter. i'm sort of getting into the holiday spirit, albeit a little early. at the moment i'm eating my 8 dollar boy scout popcorn, which is really really good, and it's starting to snow. happy thanksgiving!
