holiday inn

I love Christmas movies starring Bing Crosby. So delightful. I'm sitting in my living room with candles lit, watching "Holiday Inn." I brought the budgie into the room for a change of scenery. He's watching it too. Seems quite enthralled.

I'm going to the ballet tonight. I was excited about it, until I cracked the tail light on my mom's car, and now I'm just stressed out. I have $400 in my bank account. Take out $120 for insurance. $300 for board. $100 for gas this month. $60 in Christmas presents I haven't bought yet. So, -$180? Before paying to fix my mom's car? That's not going to work out.

I need another job. I need to be paid more frequently than once a month. It's too long of a stretch; I can't make it.

Must go straighten my hair, now. Put on the cheap lipstick I bought for one dollar. Go out into -40 C weather. Make merry.
