I'm rich! I'm rich! Well, for like eight days.

Pay Day Versus The Rest Of The Month

Pay day can be the best day, but the rest of the month can be a bit of a struggle. When you get paid, you're on top of the world and can do any buy anything. The only problem is, you buy everything and then you end up eating peanut butter sandwiches for the last two weeks of the month.

1. Going Out

Pay Day: We should do this every night. We're never going home.

The Rest of the Month: You guys go on without me, I'm going to sit at home drinking water.

2. Shopping

Pay Day: Oh my gosh, I can get all those things I've been wanting all month. Let's hit three malls and all the stores and the outlets.

The Rest of the Month: Window shopping is a lot less fun than it sounds.

3. Getting Gas

Pay Day: Full tank! I'm going to get all the gas.

The Rest of the Month: And $5.00 even. That should last me for the week, right?

4. Eating Out

Pay Day: Let's go somewhere with table clothes and candles and eat steak!

The Rest of the Month: They have a dollar menu right?

5. Groceries

Pay Day: I need fresh produce and organic, grass fed meat and name-brand cereal.

The Rest of the Month: Kraft is how much?! *Grabs Great Value mac-n-cheese*

6. Makeup

Pay Day: Sephora, Sephora, Sephora.

The Rest of the Month: Physician's Formula is pretty much the same thing.

7. Toilet Paper

Pay Day: *buys all the Charmin you can carry*

The Rest of the Month: *steals the one-ply toilet paper from the work bathroom*

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
