Cripes

TNT's having a marathon of The Closer tomorrow (the show I mentioned I really wish I were watching more). I might tape it while I'm sleeping and out running errands so I can watch it later. I love that show.

Two more shows to add to my list: Vanished and Celebrity Duets. Both of the same reason: Queer as Folk *EG* Gale-the-officer is too nummy for words. And I NEVER miss a chance to watch Hal sing! *drools* I so want that man. I was really scared he'd be voted out the first night... but he's still there and can sing more for me, er, for America.

I looked into buying Dreamweaver tonight. Now that I have a job I thought maybe that would be a good investment to speed up website work. But, gah, over $300? I'm not that rich yet! LOL I'll stick to coding by hand in a text editor, thank you very much! Still, changing the punctuation in all the thousands of stories on the sites is going to take forever using the methods I use now. And I refuse to use my work laptop for sneezing-related stuff, naturally. Grr.

I bought Suize Orman(have I ever mentioned I LOVE that woman?)'s Young & Broke book off Amazon.com the other day. Now that I'm making money I want somewhere to put a bit of it. I've been putting $ into my normal savings account, which gives me about twenty or thirty cents a month in interest. Which is pointless. So I'm thinking of opening some other account but I don't know much about that or where to put it. So I'm going to read lovely book and learn, then maybe call the financial person who handled my grandparent's estate and worked for my mom's side of the family when my grandpa died.

If you find out anything helpful, please drop me some ideas. I've been keeping my money in a free checking account the last couple years, and I earn absolutely no interest from it. I'm not too worried at the moment, as I'm about to wipe out 95% of my savings this week as the down payment on my house I'm building, but I'd like a better option than an account that earns no interest when I start building up some savings again. Unfortunately, my parents have me all confused with their well-meaning advice. *G*

It's great that you're looking into new ways of saving money. My father is an investment guru who made me put the first $1000 I made in to an IRA account. Now I can't touch that money until I'm 65 or so and retired. So yay for that... I wish I could use the money now. I have another $1000 or so in a stock portfolio that he set up and all the rest of the money I'm making now is split between a regular old checking and savings account.

I really wanted to watch that. I saw one episode and really liked it. But 90210 was having a marathon today too, and I went to the mall, so I could only tape one. But I got one of those necklaces that profit youth AIDS, so that was cool.
