MMR flammable: I paid $240 after tip last night for a cut and color. When I was going over with my stylist what I wanted, I never bothered to ask how much anything is. Oops. This is about $100 over what I budgeted for this. Considering I was contemplating boxed color two weeks ago, this is very unlike me. I don't think I'll do this particular coloring again due to the price, but damn does my hair look good.

I'm tired of working 2 jobs and not seeming to have any more money in the bank. I'm bleeding money and it's overwhelming just to figure out how to make it stop. I know where most of it is going (food/wally world) and I'm making some changes but it seems to be not enough.
My BIL gave us a trip to the Cayman Islands or somewhere for our wedding two years ago. Cool, I guess. But there's a caveat - we have to go with him and his fiancee/wife (no one knows if they're married and no one's asking). A joint vacation, if you will. I don't want to go on a vacation with them. On our Christmas card he was all, "don't forget about the trip!"

Why couldn't he give us cash?
That's really weird. I suppose it's nice in a way that he wants to spend time with you guys, but why can't that be dinner out somewhere and not like a Caribbean island?

It's a weird present, right? Part of me thinks he structured the present that way so we'd never take him up on it. Like why would I want to spend a vacation with him? I don't even really want to go to the Caymans - there's a lot of places on my list that are higher - let alone go to the Caymans with him and his SO. My plan is just to ignore - he lives in Florida so that shouldn't be too hard.
He gave Mr Insom a drone for Christmas. Another weird as hell present.

I said it yesterday, but I'll say it again. My first thought when I learned that my MIL is getting married is good, maybe she'll stop asking us for money.
(1) not flame worthy (2) does he have a brother who wants to move to Seattle?
MM vent: I finally did our 2015 account summaries and while our cash went up (savings) our investments went down, even including all of our retirement contributions.

Ha! Nope, no brothers that in aware of.
Youre a a good son for all that you do for your mom.
My right ovaries hurt and I'm tired of of being dark so early. I've been irritated all weekend. I'm sure Dr. King would want me to be doing better on this holiday weekend.
Vent: I had MH take some head shots of me for work, using my iPhone. I blew out my hair and put on heavier makeup.
The pics are usable, but my face is really red and my hair wouldn't retain any volume. Plus I picked a collared shirt that I haven't worn in a while and it was tight around the belly, and I wore a suit jacket that I last interviewed in in 2012 and I clearly need to donate it.
So, yeah, that knocked me down a few pegs. I hope our art guy at work can at least fix some of the redness.
ETA: AND, I can't even donate the suit to Dress for Success because the closest location is 30 minutes away and only accepts donations on Thursdays from 10 am to 2 pm. WTF??
