blog post numba 2...

Just read back in my blog to see how I am doing with my goals and such and am quite happy with myself. A few of my new years resolutions were to eat better and go back to school. Well, I am still planning on going back to school in Fall, just hasn't come around yet and as I said...classes are out this month for me to plan! The eating better one has been going great. We still eat out occasionally, but when we eat at home we eat pretty well. We don't buy a lot of snacks besides yogurt and pita chips with hummus...and are good with portioning out what we will eat in that sitting. I went on a little kick where I was eating way too many fries from work, but have discovered the loveliness of our salads and am being better about ordering those rather than the fries... yay me. So besides my fry mishaps we are successful and it makes me happy.

 Not only are we eating well, but I am on top of all our bills. They are due anywhere from the 1st to the 20th of the month, so at first they were hard to keep track of. I'd have enough money for the bills around the 1st and then I'd have to make sure I made enough money and put that into the bank before each bill was due every month! I've gotten to the point where I have a chart of my bills, the date they are due, and the amount (or averages for things like PGE and credit card payments). I also have included things like groceries and gas, a savings transfer, as well as "fun money" allotments. Then I also have a chart of all the money I make each week broken down to tips and paychecks. As of March, we have been successful in having enough money by the 1st of the month for every single bill and monetary necessity we have for that specific month. CAN I BE MORE BORING!?!?!?!?!?! God I hate myself right now, who really gives a flying fuuu about my bills? Well, me...and this blog is for me...so okay, cool I'm good now. Continuing on... I succeeded in doing it again for April and feel quite pleased with myself. I just wish I could make enough where I was a month ahead! Like in the beginning of April I have enough for all my April and May bills, I think thats how its supposed to be...as well as having savings, but hell I'm basically the only one makin money here. Once Drew is in better work, we will have this accomplished!!!

Other than being happy with my new furniture, new clothes(yeah I didn't think I should really blog about that or posting pics, although fashion show would be funnn!!!!! maybe next time...), new decorations, and success with my goals...I was sort of in a funk after I hurt my back. During the injury, I wasn't able to enjoy myself...be happy...have a good time at work....I didn't have ANY desire to do ANYTHING because all I could do was try to be in a position that caused less pain. I hope I NEVER feel that way again! So despite feeling better, I had still been quite anti-social and just wanting to spend quite nights at home with my love. Just recently, I realized that I was scared I would be boring or something...Honestly, I don't know what I realized besides the fact that I've just been moping around at home!! I don't know WHAT was wrong with me, but last week I realized what was going on, and have been more social :). And happy with being social! It's so weird, but I'm over my funk... won't you take me to FUNKay towwwwn?. Good day blogging world!

I think I might blog about it

I am feeling bloggy today! I'm about ready to fire up the instagram (and dare I say start up my tiktok?) again and in about a month I'll be making the switch to my fall/winter capsule wardrobe. But here's the thing...I'm having SO much fun in my current spring/summer one! I'm pretty sure I am going to combine them for a somewhat larger than average, but longer lasting, capsule. A lot of people switch theirs every season. I tend to switch it up every 6 months. Now it may be more of a "this is my wardrobe forever and everytime I buy something new I get rid of something with holes or stains" wardrobe.  Anyway- My incredibly loose formula for building a capsule is as follows:  Figure out my color scheme! I did a brown base for my last fall/winter and navy base for my spring/summer. I think that this time around I will do a navy base for my fall/winter, but keep in some of the brown as a secondary color. I also always have a cool off-white as my second base col...

Time for my yearly check-in!

 Ok so- (have you ever seen that video about the end of the world from ebaum's world? well this was said like that guy....)  Alright the first thing is first - I have an 18 month old daughter and am hoping to get pregnant again in the (near?) future. This means that I am living in that postpartum mama bod world and am not mentally ready to try and get slimmer yet. Maybe I never will! I have a somewhat apple/rectangle shape and lots of belly!! I am also petite in height. This makes it SO hard to find clothes that fit AND look good on me! I have searched high and low for jeans that fit and also don't give me a muffin top or fall down my narrow hips. Anyway, I have made a few purchases for some clothes that will be more flattering for my figure- finger's crossed. This means peplum tops, slacks, high waisted leggings/skinny jeans when they fit. I also have NO MONEY! So, some of my purchases have had to be through amazon and old navy in order to be able to afford clothing for my...
