It's taken me a whole year, but I finally feel like I'm starting to get on top of my finances again. I'm still broke for all intents and purposes, but I feel better about it all. I certainly feel more comfortable month to month now. Part of it is thanks to the nice chunk of change I got back with my tax refund, but having that has enabled me to make some changes that are saving me more in the long run, like changing my huge phone contract out for something much more reasonable, paying my credit cards down more, and paying my car insurance policy in full so I don't have to worry about it for several months. We were going to have to move into an apartment soon anyway but now it feels much more viable and I feel like I'll actually be able to contribute and feel comfortable doing so. And soon I'll hopefully be making more at work... Yay. Maybe we can afford a nicer place before too long? One can hope lol.

In other news, I am really into kpop still. I'm totally loving the new song Blue by Big Bang. It's so good, and what I love is that it kind of breaks away from the usual kpop sound. It sounds more like the American style of pop, and while I'm no American culture devotee per se, it's a neat thing to see. Er. Hear. Anyway. I've been watching the K Crunch Indie segments on Eatyourkimchi too, and loving them. So good. It's nice to see more than one dimension to Korean music.

Also, today I went out and bought Jacob's birthday present :) I'm excited! His birthday is in two weeks. I should have waited to buy the present because I sick at waiting to give presents, I get so anxious :P but I couldn't wait to get them because I had the perfect idea! So yay :)

Oh, I also had a tasty Five Guys burger. Nom!
