Vegas in Limbo

Well now we don't know if we're going to Vegas or not. The people that were supposed to go cancelled on me and the ones that are considering going in their place still don't know if they are going to because they have a 7 month old baby and no one to babysit while they are gone. I don't blame them for being iffy about taking him along. I can't imagine there would be much you can do with a seven month old in Vegas. I'm still holding out hope we'll be able to go but with as much difficulty as we've been having getting someone to commit it doesn't look like its in the cards for us. Chris and I decided that if we don't end up going to Vegas we'll use the time off we put in for to drop in on the family in NY. I already put aside $600 to pay for plane tix to Vegas so if we don't go we can use that to travel to NY.
Chucky got better a few days ago, just in time for me to get sick. Hooray! Thats usually how it always works. In keeping with attack of Murphy's law for some reason either my college has their head up their bootay or the VA does because I went to certify my enrollment for february and its showing I have nothing to certify. I have been back in school since Valentines day so I should be getting a check for $570 for the 15 days in february I attended. Now I will have to wait for the college to straighten it out with the VA so I can get paid and I'm hoping this happens before March 26th because this is when the rest of my tuition is due for Winter quarter. The college will not allow me to start spring quarter without winter quarter being completely paid for. Oy vay.
I've been plugging away at the reading. I am starting book 4 on my reading list so yay for that. Sometimes there will be stretches in there where everything goes really well. I guess its just time for one of those stretches where everything doesn't. Hope it doesn't last too long :(

Egads

My break from school is over and I have started back up with my math for business and philosophy of ethics class. Here's hoping the next six weeks go smoothly :)
So the budget thing is working out fantabulously so far especially because I got a check from the VA for $200 that I wasn't expecting. This is the third paycheck since said budget was instituted and neither one of us has bought one thing we weren't supposed to. Its difficult because this year we aren't even allotting money for gifts for special occasions (i.e. birthdays, valentines, mothers/fathers day, anniversary etc)... Here's hoping we can stick to this budget until the end of the year and we'll be debt free. Hooray!

I even almost have enough money to buy our plane tickets to Vegas. The only bad thing is the couple that is supposed to be going with us might not be able to go because the wife might not be able to get the time off from work. Since this is one of those deals through my timeshare I have to bring someone to tour their resort and that is the reason I got the package so cheap so if I don't bring anyone and still go I have to pay actual cost which is a couple of grand. If I don't go I'm out the $200 I paid for the package that would have normally cost a couple of grand. I'm hoping he emails me back shortly and lets me know either way so if he can't go I have a good month to try and find another couple to go. Also I talked to my big sis the other day and she said since she wanted me to have a good time on my first trip to Vegas, that I could pick out one of the Cirque du Soleil shows and she would pay for me and chris to go. I'm really hoping this works out where we can go because I really need the mini vacation and I have been looking forward to it for months.

Been really busy at work too and have had to deal with many people doing stupid things that make my job that much more difficult. I have monday off so thats three whole days off in a row which should mean plenty of time for reading, homework and spending time with my boy.
