The Burger with the Grown-Up Taste

Arch Deluxe

Somehow over the weekend, I got mad cravings for an Arch Deluxe. So many years ago, I remember eating these and thinking how awesomely yummy they were. I’d seriously consider eating at McDonald’s more if they brought this one back. I mean seriously, you can’t beat these ingredients:

  • Toasted split-top potato flour sesame seed bun
  • Circular piece of peppered bacon
  • Leaf lettuce and tomato
  • American cheese
  • Onions
  • Ketchup
  • “Secret” Honey mustard-type sauce

I think it was the combination of the bun and the “secret” sauce that I remember fondly. But damn, if they brought this back, my health and diet would be in a whole lot of trouble. :neutral:

hooray for me

I’m proud of myself. I finally paid off some of my credit card and student loan debts. I had put them off for a while due to my financial situation (very very BAD), but I finally got myself to scrape some money together and go through the process of paying them online.

It feels better to get rid of some of that debt!

Now to keep on making those monthly payments…

Now it is beginning to sink in

Looking back at my statements, these are my payments for GAS. Keep in mind, I was in Florida in February and one week in May… and I am refilling at least 3 different cars… AND these are all for PREMIUM grade gasoline. -_-

01/22 – 49.13

02/07 – 63.11
02/21 – 62.88
02/28 – 62.73

03/27 – 33.61
03/31 – 53.93

04/15 – 70.98
04/21 – 72.55
04/28 – 30.01
04/29 – 50.08

05/05 – 73.71
05/12 – 59.28

That’s almost $700 spent on fuel this year… This is ridiculous. :evil: Yeah, I should probably be getting a more fuel-efficient car. AND be fueling only one car.

When the hell are we getting Mr. Fusion anyway? I’d love to run my car on trash and leftover beer. 2015 is not so far away…

Thanks for the free money!

Cash Money, originally uploaded by vyxle.

Okay, not really free, per se. I just got my Economic Stimulus Payment direct deposited into my account. It’s nice to get a little padding in my cash flow.

Now what am I going to do with my newfound booty? There are several suggestions out there. I should either pay down some of my current debt or sock it away into my emergency savings funds (which I have slowly been building back up)… I really like the idea to “invest into career development.” That could actually be what I really need right now.

But isn’t the point of getting this cash to spend it? You know, help actually stimulate the economy? Okay. I’m down with that. What to buy? What to buy? Make a large purchase? Or spend it on a number of random smaller purchases? Food? Gas? Clothes?

Um… I actually have been wanting to get a new digital camera. Maybe I should do some research first… but I’m inclined to get a Sony Cyber-shot. I don’t know why, really… the Sony brand has just been growing on me, I guess.

Well either way, I’m glad I have some extra cash!
