Resolved. Jooj and I have resolved our differences. We had a long heart-to-heart last night about the degradation of our communication these last few weeks. We both had things to say. We both apologized. We both asked for changes to be made. The bottom line is that we love each other and we deserve to be treated with respect by one another. As long as we have each others backs we can pretty much get through anything this world can throw at us.
Resolute. With our newly found resolve we tackled a good, long budget talk. A couple months back I changed up some plans to ignore short term debt and try and tackle the long term stuff. Our spending was bordering on wild and I am just sick of paying the interest we have to pay on our largest (non-mortgage) account. Together, we reevaluated that plan and have come up with something that pays off Chase Visa, Chase MasterCard, Kohl's, Macy's, and lingering doctor bills by the end of March 2012 (in fact, all but the Chase MasterCard will be paid off by the end of 2011). After that is done we can then focus on the biggest baddie of them all... Bank of America (dun dun DUN DUUUUUUN).
Redefined. During our weekly Saturday errand running Jooj and I stopped in at Kroger. This was a special trip because Jooj doesn't normally accompany me on Kroger trips. This is by design and I actually enjoy doing the grocery shopping. Anyway, the last item we needed was some jelly. We've got nothing in this house. Walking down the jelly aisle I was faced with a decision that I've never considered: jelly, jam, or preserves? After a quick search I found that jelly is derived from fruit juice, jam is derived from boiled down fruit bits, and preserves is pretty much jam that's a little fruit bittier (OMG, "bittier" is an actual word??? Those silly Brits and their informal slang!).
Recycled. Remember the Will's Gamestop Trade-in incident when he traded a bunch of crap games for $95? Well, he got this crazy idea to trade in his old XBox 360 console, some controllers, and a single game. The suggestion was made (actually by both Jooj and Will separately) to trade in my Wii and accessories and decided that was probably for the best. Well, after nearly 2 hours and 3 trips to 2 different GameStops, Will racked up $114 in store credit and I racked up $170 in store credit from Wii games and $55 in store credit for the Wii console. With that credit Will bought 4 games and only owed $0.59. I paid off his reserved game guide, renewed his Power Up membership, paid off 2 1/2 of his reserved games, bought $50 in Microsoft points, and walked out with a $5 gift card. Not bad!
Rewatched. We capped off the evening with Jooj and I watching Battle Los Angeles. She liked it. I liked it a second time. It felt nice watching a movie on the couch with a blanket and a tub of popcorn!
