I found out that my Uncles party for the family has been post-poned. But, I am excited to go to Washington again. We will be there an extra day so I hope to find some things to do there. Last time we went to the Evergreen Arboretum and Gardens. It was beautiful. 
Well, tomorrow I will be celebrating my birthday with my wonderful friends. Then off to Washington on Tuesday. I hope to update some pictures to my Flickr account from Washington. I actually found a link to find out exactly how to link photos from my Flickr account to here.
So, I found from Nicoles site, the Friday Five. I think this would be fun to start doing. I found the site and well, since it is not Friday, I had to choose an old one. One of my choice, of course! Here we go.
FRIDAY FIVE:
1. Did you get an allowance as a kid, and if so, how much was it?
No, I did not. I got money every once in a while but I did not get an allowance. There were too many of us and my dad was real tight with his money. I would ask for things on occasion and he would say “You don’t want that”. But I did. =(
2. How old were you when you had your first job, and what was it?
I was 16. I actually had to because of the school program where you had to work and learn about careers and life after high school. I didn’t mind. I actually wanted to work. I worked at a well known retail store as a cashier.
3. Which do you do better: save money or spend money?
I do both actually. I pay my bills, put money aside, and have a little for me. But, if I had to choose…I would say save. I am an impuse SHOPPER but not BUYER. I put things in my cart, but by the time I get to the register I either put most or all of it back.
4. Are people more likely to borrow money from you, or are you more likely to borrow from them?
I do not like to borrow. I rarely borrow. People are more likely to borrow money from me. It’s mainly family. Some of which have borrowed more than a thousand dollars and have yet to repay me a penny.
5. What’s the most expensive thing you’ve ever bought?
My digital camera. I had just recieved a huge check for school and after buying books and paying for my classes and doing everything I needed to do. I still had a lot left over. So…I bought a digital camera. I was a little naive. Everytime they asked if I wanted something, I thought it was free. LOL. So, I spend 500. Not really that bad considering it was a great camera, two batteries, memory stick, and charger. Notice, I said WAS. I dropped it while running away from my friend trying to delete a picture she had on HER camera. Well, I was holding the door shut and dropped it in an attempt to lock it when she almost got in. It works, but the LCD screen is compeltely white. Completely useless without it, though. I can’t see to delete the pictures. Boo.
Have a good weekend everyone!
