7-17

ok. so it's officially been over a week since my last post. you all must think i've been responsibly monkish somewhere, reflecting on the goodness of not buying things. how wrong.
i've been moving. (not a complete surprise to those of you who've noticed things like security deposits and application fees creeping into my daily expenditures.) and in case you didn't already know, moving tests the budgets of the most ardent cheapskate. there will, no doubt, be some things that slip through the cracks, but here in one awesome post is my attempt to catch up and inform you of my crazy moving purchases.
