An open letter.

Dear Victoria's Secret, Macy's, Express, Vera, & Old Navy,

Please stop filling my inbox with specials, sales, deals, coupons, and free shipping codes. I am currently an unemployed housewife. I do not have money to spend on you weekly like I did previously. I know, I am not happy about it either.

Hopefully you will see me and my visa soon,
Trina



Dear PR Professionals in this small town. Please quit your job or get fired. So I can have it.

Sincerely,
Trina

Black Friday = Hell Friday

I did it. 4th year in a row. Got some of my presents. Only 5,964 to go.
Spent: $425
Saved: $312
(according to the original prices)

A big chunk was Adam's gift. I spent the more on Adam this year than usual. Since I got a pretty nice bday gift. (um, a shiny diamond remember?) I decided I would get him an extra special Christmas gift. I know, I am an effing awesome future wife!

Mom got a netbook for herself. Even though she didn't even know she wanted one until people were grabbing them. She loves it.

I got a dog bed for Scout. And a new down alternative comforter for myself. $40 total !!

Stood in line outside in the cold for an hour. Only to find out they didn't even have what I was waiting for in stock!
Helped start a fight at Kmart. Ditched my cart at Target. Got crabbed at by other mad shoppers.
Went and got my family & the ladies in front of us breakfast at 5 a.m.

Black Friday, see you next year!

$$$

"We always knew Trina was going to be the expensive one. This will be the end of it."
my dad referring to me telling him how much the venue will be per person. Then telling him there's about 350 people on the guest list.

($55pp)
You do the math.
Remember, that's food & open bar only at the reception.

Dress. Alterations. Invitations. Postage. Save the dates. Cake. Flowers. Photographer. Cinematographer. Church fees. Transportation for the wedding party. Hair. Makeup. Favors. DJ. Singer & Organist at Ceremony. Not included.
Am I forgetting anything?

As one of my BM's recently asked. What's your overall budget for this? Um, I don't have one?
