Still Waiting...

The first thing I did when I got home from work was check the mail box. Still no grant check. Boo. Boyfriend and I still haven't paid the rent, because he still hasn't given me the $150 I've asked for it. Our combined bills are $1200. So I asked for him (as of August) to start depositing $150 weekly into our joint account. That was over a week ago, and I'm still waiting on his first deposit. Granted, I haven't paid out any bills since then, but I sure do hate waiting for his deposit in order to pay them. My $650 to cover the rest, is in there.
Yes, boyfriend, I get it. You're broke right now. You owe child support and work is slow and you're car payment is due. But you are still responsible to cover your half of the expenses!!!
As I'm sure you can tell by now, boyfriend is not aware I have started this blog. If he knew, he'd put on a pout like you've never seen before after reading that. He doesn't deal well with being told what to do... even if what he needs to do is pay for his half of the bills. Jerk.
I went to McDonalds today. Bad for the budget, worse for the waistline. But, believe me, I didn't like it. It was $2.76 for a kids meal. I would have much rather had salad or a sandwich. But I never make them. What I want to do is catch Lean Cuisines or Weight Watcher's Smart Ones on sale and buy a month or two worth of them. Those are cheap, and moderately healthy. And I would have more time to relax and spend less time on my lunch break foraging the neighborhood for food.
I also bought a lottery ticket and two sodas today. The soda was a bad idea. But let's hope the lotto ticket was a good investment!!
