30 Something

This weekend I went to chicago with a friend of mine. I had a good time. After getting home I spent time with my bf. I left his house on Monday night and called this guy I met online to hang out with. I got trashed. So, I went to work on Tuesday despite the fact that I was still drunk. I got left work around 2 and went to bed. Wednesday I skipped work because I was so tired. Thursday I skipped most of the day at work. I went in around 3 and had to work til 7. Right now I'm pretty depressed. I don't know why. My boss's supervisor came in to "talk". I don't like her so I really didn't feel like talking. I'm not sure what she wanted to accomplish talking to me. But, I just had a slight attitude. So, I've been sitting here trying to figure out why I was feel so melancholy. Maybe it's because I did my monthly budget and found that after all of my major expenses I only have about $150.00 to get gas, groceries, and toiletries for the month. I'm living paycheck to paycheck. Oh, I saw this really cute guy at the gas station today, but I was too deep in thought to try to get his attention. Shoot, that made me mad. But back to my expenses...So, I went to pick up an application to work over the christmas holiday. Hopefully, I can get something that will get me a few hundred dollars a month extra so I won't be so destitute. I was watching Oprah yesterday and she was did a show on the poor in America. It was said. I am in the category of people who are two paychecks away from being poor. I definitely need to manage my money better. I had about $1000.00 last month and it's almost all gone. I think I may have about $200 left. Well if I think real hard I can figure out where it went: $140-my sister train ticket (she was supposed to pay me back)$100-trip to chicago, $150-car insurance, $180-food, stuff for house, etc, $50-new threads, the rest was on little things. I should have put it into a savings account like I was thinking, but I didn't. I'm definitely going to open up something to save money before this year is over. One thing that I'm definitely not proud of is the fact that I haven't been paying my tithes. Even though I don't go to church right now, I believe in paying my tithes and I think I owe God about $500 by now. I'm disappointed in myself. I need to do better.
