judecorpI was going to make another post from my Poll of Suggested Post Topics, but I looked through them and didn't have the energy for any focused thinking this afternoon. Sorry. We're currently running around like mad preparing for our Housewarming Party (7pm til whenever, our house, you should all definitely come) and my mind is running in about 84776498 different directions.
I hate that something fun (a party) is giving me stress. I hate that most fun things have to cost money. We bought minimal snacks, soda, supplies, and beer for el par-tay and I hate that little things that people will consume for five minutes costs money. But we have a bunch of different options for people, so that should be good. We have vegetables and we made veggie dip and hummus to go with them, we have pita for the hummus, we have homemade cookies from last night, we have tortilla chips and salsa, we have regular chips, we have a variety of soda options, we have rum (for coke or pina colada mix), we have wine, and we have a 12-pack of Sam. I would have loved to have more alcohol (especially something other than beer for non-beer drinkers) and also cheese and crackers, but alas, we are TEH BROKE. Poop.
BUT! We have a SNOOPY SNO-CONE MACHINE, and two bags of ice. Good times! I actually have not ever used said Snoopy Sno-Cone Machine, but I am itching to. We also have a Crayola crayon maker but that will not be making an appearance.
So we've cleaned the kitchen and bathroom, prepared food, and ran around purchasing ice and other goods. We dropped![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
starstealingirl off at South Station so she can go visit cappucinogrrl and got caught in that crazy downpour at the most inopportune time. Blargh!
Mostly, though, I'm just tired of us not having jobs. There is so much stress around this household at any given time that it alternates between driving me crazy and making me really sad. Jen and I are guaranteed at least one argument per day, almost always related to money. I would like to stop spending money on everything except bills while we don't have jobs, but it just doesn't seem to be possible. Feh. I am just so nervous that the money is going to run out, because the bills keep coming in and the jobs keep being elusive.
Wow, I'm going to be a big Bucket O' Fun tonight, aren't I? Somebody come and save my emo ass!
