It's Sunday Already?

>> Sunday, February 14, 2010

Holy cow, what a busy weekend! The move is mostly done. We made about 5-6 trips with the car throughout the weekend and loaded up all the things we needed and all the things we couldn't really box up. On Tuesday, our furniture will be here and that will help tremendously! Once we get settled and the furniture in place, I will take pictures. For now, you'll just have to be satisfied with the front:



It's cute right?

On the budgeting front, we've spent a shit-ton of money this weekend. HOWEVER- it was all budgeted. We bought two new nightstands, a dresser, coffee table, side tables, curtains, etc. Lots of stuff! I'm telling ya, paying for things in cash is quite gratifying.

There was one thing I bought today, however, that was not budgeted. And it's something I KNEW was coming I just completely forgot to budget for it. It's a new gym membership. I'm currently a member of LA Fitness but there isn't one close to our new place. Michael is a member of Fitness Factory which is less than 2 miles away. For $329, Michael and I could both be paid up for the whole year- that's 12 months of membership for both of us for about $27/month or $13.70 per person per month! I think that's a steal and well worth it! There's no registration fees or sign up fees, which tend to make me cranky because I mean, really, it costs you $49 or $149 or whatever to put my name in the computer? Very doubtful. Wow, sorry about the rant... soapbox over.

Back to my point- I spent $329 on a gym membership that was not budgeted. OOPS!

This week is crazy busy- movers, house cleaners, carpet shampooers, etc. Hopefully we'll get back to working out next week.

Ooh! I love it! Can't wait to see the inside pics!

Great deal on the gym membership! I pay $20/mo just for myself so that's definitely a steal!

Good luck with everything and getting settled in!!
