I spent the weekend visiting my father and in those 24 hours I realised exactly why my parents are no longer together.

Even I can't stand to spend 24 hours with them seperately, so they must have really hated each other.

Thankgod Scott was there otherwise I would have gone crazy.

I love my Dad, and he loves me and that's all great, but god, I don't even know how to explain it.

He's coming down around Christmas time to see me, which is nice I guess. I do miss him and like to hear from him every month when he calls. And the fact that he handed over $200 in birthday cash was nice.

Yeah, I'm going out shopping today.

I have $600 in the bank and if I add another $100 from the weekend in to that I have my car rego and insurance covered, leaving me with $100 to spend on whatever the hell I like.

I've really been stressing over my money situation lately so I feel extremely grateful that my two biggest bills are taken care of.

But now I have the problem over what to buy.

I could always start up my "get a new computer fund" with it, or I could waste it away on cds and movies. And I so badly want to buy some drapes for the bedroom and a new phone.

Whenever I don't have money I see a million things that I'd like to have, yet when I do eventually have some money to spend I can't think of anything.

I'm going to spend the rest of the day out shopping, and I am willing to put money on the fact that I'll come home with a My Little Pony soft toy.

Can't resist that cuteness!
