Stepping it up

I upped the any in my savings regime. In addition to the amounts I regularly put in my savings I added an additional $150 to one and an extra $30 to another. I feel good about the move. That will be less money I have access to during the month of February.

Happy Savings.

Impromtu visit

My mother sent me a text today asking me to watch my niece either tonight or tomorrow night. I opted for tonight since I'll try to go out tomorrow night. I am excited about my niece visiting. I saw her two weekends ago......but I always get excited when she's coming. I'm also usually happy when she goes home as well.

So now I'm trying to figure out an agenda for us tonight and tomorrow until my mother comes to pick her up. I think I'll hit up Target tonight to get her a movie and some popcorn. And then tomorrow I'll drag her out to run my errands. Yeah that sounds like a game plan.

RATS! she took her Diego Domino game home........I guess we'll have to pick up another game at Target as well. Oh the joys of my niece visiting. I always wind up spending money when she comes over.


Happy Friday and have a good weekend!

I didn't make it

Today wasn't a no spend day......I needed to go see about some carpet and wound up stopping in the beauty supply store to the tune of 13 and the grocery store for 8. Not bad, yeah I know but I really wanted to make it 4 straight days of no spending. Oh well, I guess I'll try again next week.

Work was cool, no sooner than I walked in the door I had something that needed my attention. And I was busy for about the entire day. I had lunch, but didn't get a chance to read my book; instead I answered some personal e-mails.

Overall today was a good day and I'm glad the weekend is beckoning.......

I like this video

Not sure why, but I like this video by Jasmine Sullivan for her song Lions, Tigers and Bears.

You Are Cute!
Believe it or not, you are much more attractive than you realize.
You don't try too hard, and that's one of the cutest things about you.

You have a vibrant glow about you, and people are drawn to your energy.
You're not perfect, thank goodness. Your flaws are part of what's lovable about you.

Bored restless

The company I work for follows the federal government as far as closing due to inclement weather, and as such I had the option of calling in today. And of course I opted to stay home. To tell the truth I'm a very clumsy person and I can easily see myself slipping and falling once I stepped foot outside.

The complex where I reside and pay HOA fees is very lax when it comes to property upkeep, so there is still (here it is after 4pm) and the sidewalks and steps have NOT been cleared of ice nor treated.

At any rate, I've been in the bed all day. BORED........I don't see how people can do this all day every day. I've said it time and time again, I'm so dang on glad I'm gainfully employed. Usually when I have or take a day off during the week, I have a slew of errands to run. But today, with the sidewalks being all icy I stayed in. And now that it's after 4pm I feel like I've wasted away a perfect day.

Yeah I watched TV. I even attempted to take a nap, but sleep would not come. I did get a chance to watch the final episode for season 3 of Dexter. But that's it.........I guess the bright side of this day is no money spent!

Well I wont bore you with any more details......hope you had a more exciting day.

Just another Tuesday

I barely made it to work this morning..............

I went to bed last night later than 11 pm. And I had a nice restful sleep, but woke up to snow. ARGH! It took me 10 minutes to clean my car off and an additional 25 minutes to drive to the subway station where I park. My supervisor was even later.

I had a pending deadline for some work and I barely got it done. I just could not focus. Lucky for me the day went by quick and I was walking out the door at 6:15 pm and headed home. Lastly I made it home without spending any money!

So I have 32 more no spend days to go.

It's after 11 pm and I'm trying to be in the bed by 11:30.

Good night.

Your Ideal Island Vacation is Fiji
On an island vacation, you prefer to get the full beach experience.
And for you, that means staying somewhere with few people and lots of beach.

With over 300 islands, you can find your own private spot in Fiji.
Relax by the crystal clear water, or venture off to find a waterfall.

Monday Blues

I was not feeling it this morning. I left a message for my supervisor that I'd be in about 10 or 10:30 at the latest. I finally walked in 11 am. And I had the hardest time trying to focus and get anything done.

The syllabus for my spring class was available today. I printed off a copy to keep in my tote bag for reference. I didn't get a chance to put the syllabus and other class information on a floppy drive. I guess I'll try to get around to that this evening.

I ordered my books today. One book cost 4.50, but the shipping was 6.95.......I'm outraged. The other three books totaled 95. So I was glad to make it home without stopping and needlessly spending money.

Well I'm gonna attempt to turn in early, say 11 pm. So I'll sign off now and begin my prep for another work day!

Hope you had a good day and good night!

Patti Labelle tribute

I missed BET's tribute to Pattie when it aired last night. And of course the vidoes are available on youtube. Here are a few that I really liked:











Have a great day!
