Whew! It’s been an expensive week. A VERY expensive week. With less than 2.5 months to go, I guess I should have expected purchases to start adding up, but it feels like waaay too many dollars left my bank account this week. It started with Mr. Socks’ wedding band last Saturday and then…

I got in a very minor car accident—my fault—and now have an unexpected $500 bill to pay to the guy I bumped into. The humiliation over the ordeal is almost worse than coughing up the money. Almost.

But yeah, $500 is most of our flower budget, and I was feeling pretty down about it, so to show me that he wasn’t upset and that he was just glad I was okay, Mr. Socks brought home some beautiful yellow roses to make me smile:

He might have also brought me a smiley face cookie, a chocolate mousse dome, and a card with fuzzy puppies on it. What can I say? I love this man!

Another unexpected surprise:

Zoe ate a quarter of her cage tray. We had just bought her a new one a day before. We may have to buy like, super strength cage tray, and super strength cage trays are, of course, more $$. Ugh.

Then finally, our money was put to some good use: We ordered the paper for our invites, our candles came in from www.Candles4less.com, which had VERY fast shipping—a definite recommend here.

And in order to get all of our ducks in a row, we had to pick up envelopes for our invites, take everything over to Kinko’s and start printing. Posts on our paper and invites coming up, I promise!

So all in all, it was a week that hit us pretty hard, and I know that there will be more weeks like this coming up before the wedding, so we tried to deal with it in the most mature and adult way possible:

Buy a $10 kiddie pool, crack open some Rose, and chill out in the 105 degree weather while getting our wedding tan on:

We’re so classy.

How do you handle the weeks that hit you the hardest financially?
