Changing plans and so much to do!

I have a running list in my head of the things I want to do before we leave and things we have to do before we leave. Right now, if I dont get it out of me, I think I shall burst or forget it all....probably the former rather than the latter.

I want to finish some projects before I leave;

My band T-shirt Quilt
My European Album (from the first trip)
A photo album of friends and other things

I want to finish business projects I have started;

Maria's Herritage Project
- writing
- photo editing

I want to have a benefit party that my aunt has offered to host;

When?
What type of photos?
How many and what size?
Theme?
How to promote it?

Savings Bonds
What to do with them? Invest?

Bryan and I also have had to push the date back to late June, early July to be a part of some family events. Bryan's family will be taking a trip to Disneyland and Sea world in June for about a week. So we need to account for that when I work out my money.

I have to admit Im suddenly not in a very good mood because of expenses. I recently had to change the fuel pump in my car...$500.00, a few months previous I had to have the intake cleared and all the filters changed....$450. I need new tires...$240.00 and what happened today? Oh my registration is due along with a test only smog check. Registration - $85.00, Smog Check - $92.50. Im mostly upset because I thought the place I directed B to take my car was cheaper than the estimate I recieved over the phone of $69.00....Obviously it was not. So how much does this all ad up to? $1367.00, and what is the worth of the car? Kelly Blue Book - $1500.00, but the state wanted to buy it off of me for $1000. I dont know what to do anymore about my car. How did my parents not tell me about all the expenses!? Im so glad I wont need a car in Holland.

So when it comes to money...What do I need to take into account?
Plane Ticket to Newark - Leaving Oakland...(June 22nd) $213.00
Plane Ticket to AMS - Leaving Newark (June 29th) found on Vayama $624.00
Gas Money for trip to LA - $240.00 +
Food money for LA- $250.00
Accomidations for LA - (Case and Phil, Bryans Uncles, might let us stay with them and we have a 2 night stay for free at ..the disney hotel, I think, that I won durring the holidays. Not to mention, if all else fails his parents will have the motorhome we can all squeeze into) -$?
Disney Tickets (3 day pass) - $184.oo
Sea World Tickets - (so we can go for 0ne day) -$69.00 (seven days) - 69.00 (or we can get the 3 in one pass and go to Seaworld, San Diego Zoo and San Diego Wild Life park (5 days)) - $121.oo...

So much to do so little time...
