Bob V2.0 (Or the New Diet)
I’ve been thinking, pondering, and getting lots of text messages. The entire being without a text phone thing stinks, because I can’t call people, or a certian people.
There is also the fact that I bought all these little accessories that go with the phone. So it pretty much means I have to buy the same phone as I had before, right? I mean, this is like law, I think.
So, I’ve figured out how I can justify buying a new phone. It’s the Chris-Reducto-Diet.
Here goes:
Stop eating out: let’s say I spend $10 a day on eating out.
$10 x 25 = $250
Don’t use any heat in the apartment (It’s now a nice swarmy 54 degrees in the apartment. Is it normal for it to be warmer in the fridge than in the apartment?)
Savings of $20
Just eat bread from the wonderbread store (The old stuff, like the three week old stuff, eating samples at SAMS for lunch)
Savings of $30
No buying of belt buckles, posters, pinball machines or other toys (oh ebay, I shall miss you)
Savings of $50
Reduce my wild splurging during Black Friday
Savings of $300
No more trips to Utah (Me Thinks I may not be able to get away with this…)
Savings of $250/Month
No more Movies
Savings of $21
No More Popcorn w/Movies
Savings of $50
No More Clothes Shopping
Savings of $100
No More washing of Clothes
Savings of $20
No more Washing of Self
Savings of $15
No more DVDs
Savings of $25
No more haircuts
Savings of $0
Total Savings: $1131
With Tithing and Rent, I may just be able to get the phone…
So, this may be a mixed blessing. I lose the last 50 lbs I wanted to lose, as well as leave some schwag for people to get me for Christmas! (Question: I’ve read that it’s tacking to make a wish list for what you want for Christmas. Is this still true? 🙂 )
Oh gosh…there are no words to describe the dorkiness you have. Just pay for the phone with the millions of dollars you make in the couple of seconds it takes for you to read this.
EA and I will chip in for a huge vat of Axe. If you stop showering, you’re gonna need it!
No, I don’t think a list is tacky. Hey, I have an idea! Why don’t you throw a fake reception? Get a girl to stand in. Invite only the people that you really don’t know or won’t see again. Then ebay all the stuff?
🙂
Make sure the final draft of your budget doesn’t include the reduction of trips to Utah. Your mother would never forgive you, or are you refering to someone else. Not!!
Brian: I do not think I may as much money as you think I do. Mr. “Qaudruple time and a half”. Remember, I’m salaried.
Juli: I’ll send ya my home address
Cameron: Touche.
Dad: Uh, someone else.
“remember, i’m salaried…” Chris, if you stopped paying those two people to fan you with big leaves, and the other one feeding you grapes all day, i’m sure your salary would seem a lot bigger.
Gordon: No Pinball For You!
