Best Mommy Ever Update

So, a few times before I have posted about how I have the best mom in the world.  Today I get a text from my mom that she put more $$ in my account so I can get a bike (having read my blog post about not getting a bike because of my surprise cable/internet bill).  So I go buy a bike (very involved process when your 4G does not work IN the store, and you have to go outside to call home to ask their opinion), and between it, the warranty, the U-lock, and the lights I bought (helmet and pump will have to wait), I spent so much I had to call and ask if they could put more $$ in so I can buy groceries tomorrow.  And they agreed without blinking an eyelash.  SO, best parental units ever.

I also made a budget today.  If I stick to it, I should be able to afford a bigscreen tv by February, depending on how much I spend at Christmas.  lol

Yes, it is a guy's bike.  No, I don't give a you-know-what.  The girls' bikes were either cruisers (with bad reviews), $180+, or kinda flimsy.  This is a solid bike that will be a pain in the ass to haul up the stairs every day, but will support me (I hope!!) as I ride to and from campus and the gym every day.  Oh, the gym!  I can't wait!
