Tomorrow's Forecast: Heavy Spending

Long time no write, readers.  The main reason behind this is because I'm trying to conserve money since my recent purchase of a computer, but I also have several events on the horizon that I have to be ready for...namely an anime/comic book convention at the end of May, and a wedding (in which I am the Maid of Honor) in September. 

Of course, no wedding would be complete without a bachelorette party, and I am in way over my head in trying to plan for this thing.  Not only do I have to worry about the cost of my dress, as well as various party supplies, but the bachelorette party and wedding are to take place in Tampa and Georgia, respectively.  I have no idea what the cost of a round-trip plane ticket is nowadays, but needless to say I shall be spending some change.

The more immediate concern is the upcoming convention, however.  Not only did I pay $25 for the ticket, but an additional $40 for a photo-op with THE WEASLEY TWINS of Harry Potter fame.   Letting me loose on those boys the convention is bound to end up with me coming home with a ton of trinkets, goodies, and presents (for myself).  Unfortunately, what with our blog ending within a week, you won't be privy to those shenanigans, but wish me luck (or rather wish my bank account luck).  Hopefully Bridget's presence will assist in swaying me into a degree of frugality...but alas, when has that ever worked before?
