Free Weekend?

With all of the weddings, bachelorette parties, bridal showers, couples shower and planned trips to visit friends, it's hard to find a free weekend to actually get stuff accomplished. My apartment is constantly filthy, laundry tends to pile up all too easily, the dishwasher is usually full and I have to try really hard to fit in a shower (I know, gross). Now don't get me wrong, it's so much fun to celebrate these special occasions with my closest friends, but I have to admit, a night on the couch sounds just as fun right now.

To make things a bit more complicated, the tangible things associated with weddings, i.e. money, dissapears all too quickly. And with everything going on, I feel like there is a giant hole in not only my wallet, but my savings account as well. Does anyone have any advice on how to save money? I feel like I was doing such a great job until this year. And with 5 of my close friends getting married in one year, I was hit hard all at once.

The good thing is that I enjoy giving. I love to give presents that have meaning behind them and don't regret my dwindling savings account at all. After all, it is tangible and I can always make more. But until I make "more" I give myself the right to complain every once and awhile. And I continue to remind myself that it will be my day sometime soon (hopefully) and everything will even out in the end.
