Spring is here and that means two things...school's out and...well I can only think of one thing right now. But since school is out that means that I can finally get back to blogging semi-regularly cause I don't have anything left to procrastinate on.
I know that I haven't blogged in like a week and a half or something crazy like that but thanks to that time I was able to notice something to blog about. Money.
See not just money in general but the difference between American, sorry, States money and Canadian money. (Since we're all Americans shouldn't we have one currency...oh wait end times, nevermind.)
For the past few years the States' money has been better then the Canadian dollar, at times very much better. However in recent months the Canadian dollar has been on the rise but yet one thing baffles me, well actually I have two for this one (promise), how Staters complain that their dollar isn't worth as much anymore and how companies in the States still charge prices that incorporate the old exchange.
When I bought my iPod, I bought it off the Canadian Apple website although when I researched it further I could have gotten it cheaper if I would have purchased it off of the State site and paid in State money. Weird. And what's with Staters getting upset at the exchange rate going down, YOU ARE STILL GETTING MORE FOR YOUR BUCK JUST NOT AS MUCH MORE. Heaven forbid the day that your dollar simply becomes worth....a DOLLAR.

HOGWASH. GIVE US ALL YOUR MONEY!
Interesting. Funny thing is that gas prices are on the rise and it's like 2.90 a gal but that really works out to about 75 cents a liter (litre, however the H you want to spell it). So... based on the exchange rate 0.75US = 0.83CAD hmmm... so... what's the Canadian price of gas? over a buck?
I have several thoughts about money and materialism... but I should actually write about it in my own blog. And THAT'S my two cents worth... US or CAD
ok...billings...something's wrong...you post a week before your wedding, and don't even mention your lovely? What's with this...if I was Diana.....hmmmm....come on...where's the "I can't wait!" or "Counting the days until..."
