Busy bee

So I've been lucky enough (or unlucky enough since I have less hours which equals less money for bills) to have better days off last week and this week. Last week I got Friday off and got to go to Dinner Club with my ward. For those of you who don't know what that is: We signed up to go and were split into groups and just went over to someones house for dinner and games. I had a lot of fun and got to know more of the people in my ward.

Now when I saw my schedule at work I was not too happy. I work 3 six hour days and that's all. I was told I'd be working 30 a week and I'm not even getting 20 this week.

However, now that I know all the fun things that are going on this week I am much happier. Tonight a bunch of us are going to Thanksgiving Point to go through the corn maze --I do have a problem though (no money) since I am working so much less than I was told I would be--it costs $11 to go. Tomorrow I work. Wednesday the Relief Society is getting together to carve pumpkins. Again I have to have money to get a pumpkin and some carving tools. Thursday I work. Friday is a hallowen party for single adults. I need a costume. Any ideas that won't cost money? And Saturday I work.

Why does EVERYTHING have to cost money? Am I rethinking keeping my car? You bet ya. It is a very reliable car so I hate to get rid of it. But if it meant I didn't have to borrow money I would do it.

I'm excited to have things to do and to not have to work, but seriously when you have no money to do the things they do what do you do?

Anywho my main point was to ask for non money suggestions for a halloween costume.

well it depends on what you want to be for halloween! i got an entire army outfit at the army/navy store for $10. i plan on wearing that! but low cost items... you could go as a favorite person. then when people ask you can tell them why that person was your choice. You could wear a white shirt and a tie and create a name badge for your "mission" outfit!
