Thank goodness this rain is almost out of here. The bike being down for so long, I really truly forgot exactly how much we were saving on gas. It’s nice having an extra $70-100 in my pocket a week that I can use on things I need. It really came in handy this week because if we hadn’t saved that much on gas I wouldn’t have had the cash to pay the power bill. Luckily that gave me just enough, then an early payday coming in yesterday is just what I needed to make sure we get through the rest of the week.

I also have to start putting money back for Christmas presents. I totally have no idea what to get Hubby. One minute he mentions a pair of gloves he wants. The next he wants a new helmet. Then he changes his mind and says he’s wants an XBox 360, so I don’t know what the heck to get him. I had just assumed he’d want something for the bike, like the Two Bros pipe we both want.

I’m stuck on my father-in-law’s gift as well. I’d planned to get him a set of pegs he’s been drooling over for his V Star 650 Classic, but now it looks like I’ll be looking at unlocked cell phones instead. I gave him a cheap little cell phone that came free when I setup his plan, and now it’s about shot. Considering he had me drop the insurance on the phone since he didn’t want to pay for it, he’s either gotta deal with the crappy phone that works half the time, or I’ll have to find him a decent alternative for his combined Christmas and Birthday present. Ugh. Too bad he has no idea what kind of phone he wants. *Sigh* It’s so much easier shopping for motorcycle parts.
