Money Matters
I've been making good progress on not worrying about money, but I guess I still can't help some things. I say I've been good because I don't worry about going out to eat, getting drinks, buying some new clothes, getting things for the apartment, etc., and this is progress for me.But I could tell I was worried all day today about this weekend. This weekend is going to be an epic adventure - we are going to celebrate Melissa's final days as a single woman in Atlanta! And there is no doubt in my mind it will be fun. But living out here in CA means a lot of flights, and flights are getting really expensive. So then I start to worry.
You have the flight, the parking, the seat fee (because Airtran is greedy), the standby fee (because Airtran is more greedy), the train, the mani/pedi, multiple dinners, multiple drinks, multiple pieces of entertainment, and I'm probably not even getting it all. But I really truly need to get over this worry! I have to consider this a vacation and a mini 207 reunion and try to NOT worry about money. It's also a time to get to spend quality time with Melissa, since we won't really be able to at the wedding. If I want to get sappy, money is just money, but these will be great memories. And this is a time to create and cherish those memories.
I was hoping this writing would help me feel better, but it didn't really work. I would say I'd sleep on it, but that hasn't been getting any better either, so maybe I'll toss and turn on it, and I'll be able to breath easier tomorrow.
(P.S. If you're reading this Melissa, since I know you at least used to read my blog, don't you worry your pretty little head - this is my problem to deal with, and it's about time I did!)

Biffy!
Of course I still read your blog! And I will *try* not to worry, but that is one of the things I do best, so it will be hard. I totally know where you're coming from though. With this whole wedding thing and not working this summer, it's been stressful. But I try to remember that this will only happen once, and I'm only 24 and a long way from retirement (which I'm not sure is as comforting as it should be!). :-)
So perhaps we can work on the not worrying thing together. ;-) A few drinks always helps with that kind of thing!
Love you,
Melissa
I should have thought about how you would be in the same boat as I am! I think this weekend will be awesome, and we'll make each other not worry about money. Can't wait to see you tomorrow!
