preparing to travel!
My bag is already packed, for the most part. I AM GOING ON VACATION! And I don’t even want to work this week - mentally, I’m already in vacation mode!
How’re my finances looking today? Well, my general spending account is kinda decimated, because I intentionally made my allowance smaller this week. First, I made arrangements for cheap lunch through the week, and secondly, I went out for dinner over the weekend. But it’s okay, I won’t need anything else between now and payday.
My New Orleans spending account is down a little, too, because I used it to buy some pretty new dresses (all of which were on sale) for the trip. Tomorrow, I’m getting that long-anticipated pedicure (only my second one ever) and I might pick up a pair of new sandals, too. I’m putting a little more into the Nawlins account on Thursday when I’m paid, too. There will be plenty of petty cash for transportation expenses like cab fare, enough money for my very first professional massage, enough for beignets at Cafe Du Monde, enough for souvenirs for myself and others, enough for at least one nice Louisiana seafood dinner - I’ve never gone away from home without having to worry about my spending before. This is awesome! I did it by putting a little money to the side from almost every check for the past two months or so. I can spend it without worry, knowing that it’s going to be great to come back and still be debt-free. Now that’s a vacation!
