money out, things in

Ugh, today is a day where I have to spend some money. Entering the tournament on Dec 5th here in San Diego is $60. Pre-registering for the tournament in Las Vegas on the 12th is $80. T-shirts for the event are $20 each I think.

The wool coat I want is $230. I HAVE to order it today to use my 30% off coupon.

Then I also need to buy gasoline for the truck, as it is almost empty. $50.

I also am joining a group where the membership is $50 a year, so that will go out as well.

Finally I need to buy some new wood chips for the smoker so that I can start on everyone's Xmas gifts. That's right, if you are getting a present from me you are probably getting smoked fish and/or beef jerky. Those chips will be about $20.

There ya go, a grand total of a little over $500, and for what?
To fight with someone.
To be warm and look good.
To drive around.
To do something new.
To make presents.

It should be worth it............
