Sometimes You Just Need A Cookie

My Fingers HATE Me!!

Hello to all my loyal readers!

Well here i am, another week down (this one didn't really count cuz it was only three days) and another week closer to *GASP* Move In Day! Can you believe it, we are halfway through our summer vacation! It's easy for me to say that, because i have been really busy so i dont really feel guilty about the summer halfway over. I have, as you all know, been very busy with work (typing up 46 pages of a manual, shreding massive amounts of paper with my BARE HANDS (EEEEEEERRRR *My tough guy growl*) and i have also been going places on the weekends. Speaking of which, i just got back from Wenham after a kick ass Fourth O' July weekend! It was awesome, i got to see my wonderful girlfriend for an extended amount of time, (which was friggin awesome!) and i also got to see a lot of people i hadn't seen in awhile; Willams and Meg (obvi), my fellow "King" STEVE and Amanda, and Ellen and Jay. It was great to see everyone! I also got to see Ted, Nolan, Hank, Willie, and Mickey too which rocked! :P

So all in all it was a great weekend filled with cookouts, Mini-Golf, Bocci, Crocchet, WiffleBall, and soccer (i obviously didn't play....cuz its a pansy sport....). So i was sorry to leave, but i had to get back to the rat race that is working.

Speaking of working, I finally started saving money (money i get from my job...see thats how i related it....)!!! So I'm wicked proud of myself, because i have 400.00 in my savings account....and 400.00 in my checking aka "my spending" account. But i have starting saving and that was the tough part, because now, every week i will be placing another 400 in my account every week so that i can save for my spring break in Italy....which is gonna be a lot more expensive then i thought. I was looking up tickets and even now, the tickets are $700-$1000. So that's awesome. I'll continue to look around, but I also cant buy it yet anyways because Ash hasn't "Officially" been accepted. (even thought there is a billion and a half spots open) So i will wait until she is definately going before i buy my ticket. Which means i'll have to buy it around November or December, which means it'll probly be about 1000.00 for the ticket (I did a little research). So even though i might be spending more then i thought (Hey Ash, we can still go to Florida again...My treat!! No? ....Noooo? ......No seriously.....Still No? Damnit...it was worth a shot...) it'll def be worth it and a lot of fun. So i figured out that if i save $400 a paycheck, ill have saved $2,300 for the trip, and still have almost $2,500 in my savings account, and I'm probly not gonna spend anywhere near $1,300 on my trip, but i don't wanna be in Italy and not have money.

So with all that figured out, i realized that i will have to cut down on my Memorabilia spending just a little. But this is a good thins, because this means i just wont buy some of the things i was planning on, like autographs from third party dealers (who are the sole distributer of the player, so its not really that sketchy, but a still a little) like Pete Rose and Carl Yastrzemski. And i probly won't over spend on a Reggie Jackson auto either, (i still might, we will see how well i do saving.) But i am still planning on buying the following autographs:

Stan Musial - Already bought and recieved....Oh god is it sexy....
Yogi Berra - He is getting up there in age, is a HOFer and still has a reasonably cheap pricetag.
Johnny Bench - More expensive then Yogi, but he was better anyways, so i dont feel bad.
Nolan Ryan - Autograph is a steal! One of the greatest pitchers ever and a very nice guy.
Duke Snider - HOFer with a very cheap pricetag.
Bob Feller - Underrated dominating pitcher who is seriously getting up there in age.
*Reggie Jackson - Pricey, but worth it in a few years.

*= Not sure yet....yet.

So thats my plan for memorabilia, and as for eBay, i am finishing up my last auctions and then i am retiring for the summer. No more eBaying for me, I'm going cold turkey i swear!

Well i need to get back to work and continue typing the NEW 46 page manual, yup...I am on my second one.... So ill let you guys go so that you can get back to work....UPDATING YOU BLOGS THAT IS!! Come on people! I need something to distract me from work! Seriously! Come on guys! Heh

Anyways, you guys take care and UPDATE!!

Keep On Rocking In The Free World!!
