Woo! Together, we made over $100,000 this month! I mean, it’s in Taiwan dollars, but still - six figures! Woo!
But then, when you figure that we’re planning to buy a dryer (oh sweet heaven, clothes that don’t feel sticky and t-shirts with collars that are’t all stretched out), and maybe a new bed (to replace the futon we’re on - it’s a good futon, but when is a futon ever really good?), and regular expenses like food and rent and a new iPod and trips to scenic mountains and beaches, well, then it doesn’t really seem like so much. It is, though. It’s more than we were making at home. It’s just that we don’t have all the stuff we had before - stuff we never realized we’d miss - like beds and dressers and microwaves and dryers and one of these and one of these and one of these and on and on and on.
I can’t really complain, though. We have enough to get by and still throw a bit in savings. I’d just rather throw a bunch in savings instead of just a bit!

I hope you get a dryer soon. When we were in Costa Rica everything was dried outside but with the high humidity and a little rain everyday, everything (especially thick towels) smelled mildewed or some funny smell. Do your clothes smell strangely, also? I hope I get a dryer soon, too. Our jeans have been hanging on lines in the semi-enclosed porch (the walls are lattice) for over 24 hours now and are still wet.
That could be because the high today was 37 degrees and it rained last night here in northern New York!

Hey, I gave you that futon!! Well, okay, not “gave” but don’t be dissing the futon.

I’m not dissing the futon! It’s a good futon - I say so right there! But c’mon! It’s a futon. I mean, a fresh batch of chicken mcnuggets and fries is good too, but not for everyday, right?
