Well I can and can't believe it will already be 2010. It's crazy! This year actually hasn't been a very good year for me, though there has been lots of great things about it too... Anyways, tomorrow I might go to a professional basketball game with my bestie. But I am hesitant about spending $20 just for the darn ticket! Should I do it, or not? plus food (which is always pretty tempting!) so it would be about $25-30... errr.. decisions, decision.
