procrastination at its best

April 11th, 2009 at 02:53 am

Well I am just wasting time and procrastinating over my to-do-list. What better to do that with than a blog entry?

Last night I made a really cool housewarming party invitation. Once I make them all up properly I will post a picture of it, but basically when the guests recieve it in the mail they will have to unfold it and it turns into a 3D shape of a house. Hopefully DF likes it. I just think it would be cool to have an invitation that people talk about. Some friend of ours just send their engagement invitations via Facebook... and I just think that is plain tacky. But each to their own. What do you all think? Tacky or just 'modern' to do Facebook invite?

This morning I went to the market and did our grocery shopping for the week. I completely forgot it was Easter Saturday (yes, I know, how could I? I guess I am just not a very religious and/or festive person) and the shops were absolute mayhem. But it was ok. I was done in about 45 minutes.

I spent $94.12 on veges, fruit and other groceries. I also treated myself and bought two magazines (a glossy and a recipe one) and some pancake mix for breakfast Big Grin

This week so far (which ends tomorrow) I have spent $16.35 of my 'allowance'. I laughed at DF because he always goes on about how he doesn't spend much money on anything, so he thinks he will be absolutely fine with this whole allowance thing. 'I only buy beer anyway, I mean, pfft, you're the one that buys makeup, coffees and clothes'. (And I agreed! I thought that I was the one that would find it hard!)

HA! His spending total last week was $112.50. This week so far was $56 and I have no idea how much he has spent while he's been away. And his 'allowance' is meant to be $80 a week. Mine is $60 and last week I spent $63.64 and this week I have spent $16.35.

Anyway, I'm not particularly concerned. He's a good boy. I'm going to make it a monthly average.

His BIL bought him a $375 drill in payment for helping him put up the shed (this is the one I have blogged about - DF's sister and BIL are going to live in it - with a baby...)

Hmmm what other updates? *sigh* I can't think of any more. I guess this means I actually have to go and DO SOMETHING.

Take care now, bye bye then!

    I think your housewarming invitations sound really neat! I don't know if Facebook-only invitations are tacky or not, but people like me that don't "do" Facebook, at least not yet (I can't imagine spending even more time than I already do on the computer!), would never receive Facebook-only invitations. Interesting question...tacky or modern? I have to think more about that one

    I was going to respond that the only requirement is that the invitation matches the style of the wedding... but than thought about it and could not come up where Facebook invite would be appropriate for the wedding. (have nothing against facebook)

    Even if I did not want to spend ANY money on invitations, (due to a very small private wedding, for example), I would still not do it via facebook - I would just call the few people I wanted to invite.
