Easy come...

Easy go. Really, really easy go in the case of money.

So, I got a little over $600 from taxes. I paid down a chunk on my credit card, paid for registration for Sirens (still not sure I'll actually get to go; it depends on if I make/save enough money/have enough credit on my card between now and then.

But, I paid off a chunk, paid a slightly bigger month's payment on the loans, which left me with slightly less than a hundred dollars. I figured I could go out to lunch and enjoy some sushi or something equally luxurious.

Aaand then I got a speeding ticket yesterday. It just figures, really, because that's the only part of my regular commute where I regularly speed more than 4 or 5 above the speed limit. But I'm not actually made, except the ticket seems a little high: $156, but I was going 13mph over. *shrug* You takes your chances with speeding tickets, and it's all about odds anyway. (I just can't mention it to my friend at work because she will rant for ten minutes about how much she hates cops and how corrupt they are and I'll have to really hold myself back from throttling her. Not that all cops are angels, but it's better than total anarchy...)

So, there goes a chunk of my paycheck this week. Which is okay, since, as I mentioned, I'd taken chunks out of my regular monthly expenses.

And I'm still going to get sushi. So there. Just not as much...
