Weekly Money Check Up & My Favorite Movie

One of my favorite scenes from one of my favorite movies. Fitting since I'm starting my new job tomorrow... will I be employee of the week?

Weekly Money Check Up is a feature on My Pretty Pennies.

1. The most I’ve spent this last week was on GAS.  But the good thing is, I got $.10 off a gallon.  I saved a whopping $1.80....  okay so its not whopping but meh.
2. Today I feel hoardish towards money.  No, not whorish... I have been such a penny pinching frugal ass.   I am reintroducing shopping back into my life in about 3 weeks.  I also have to save up for Christmas presents, traveling, and I want to go to New York sometime soon (spring probably).
3. Money can’t buy happiness. One free/inexpensive thing I did last week that made me happy was vegged out and watched a disc of Supernatural with Sam.  Nickie will find this hilarious because I brought it up twice while she was visiting but, I recently started watching the show Supernatural and I really love it.  I have started from the beginning getting caught up to the present.  Disc 6 of Season 1 comes in the mail tomorrow.  I've been watching them all through Netflix.  It is such a treat because Sam and I both get excited when one comes in the mail, and I usually can't watch it until we can watch it together.  Its scary, spooky, and is just a really great show.  Sam and I made a bunch of snacks and curled up on my couch and just watched all 4 episodes in a row.  Perfect night!
4. I will consider this week a success if I go grocery shopping.  I will totally put it off and scrounge around and eat oatmeal for lunch and dinner just to not go to the grocery store.
5. This year for halloween I am dressing up as Alice (in Wonderland), a Blues Brother, or Jill (ya know Jack and Jill).  The past two years I have had some awesome costumes.  In 2008, Sam and I took Flight of the Conchords as inspiration.  He made a helmet of hair and I made my own flight of the conchords t-shirt.  We were Brett and Mel.  Last year, I went as Sookie from True Blood (and Sam went as a cowboy/burgler).  This year has proved difficult as I can't buy anything for a costume!  I am kicking myself for donating my costume box this past year.  But even thinking about what I had in there is funny... just a bunch of gross formals from 92.  What could I have been with that?  Oh I did have a coconut bra and grass skirt, but I think the coconut bra was for someone without boobs... aka not me.

Update: I worked out 3 days last week and actually just worked out a second ago.   Hooray for pushing yourself!
