Most people who know me would be surprised to learn, I love makeup. Well, not really nice makeup or anything (I’m cheap), but there’s not much I love more than spending 15-20 minutes perusing the beauty aisles of my local drugstore. When a new “revolutionary” lip gloss comes out, I. Must. Have. It. My makeup…

Weekly Money Check-Up
I’m pleased as punch to be participating once again in My Pretty Pennies Weekly Money Check-Up. Here’s my latest installment: 1. The most I’ve spent this last week was $263 for groceries for my mother and grandmother. I was supposed to take my mother’s credit card with me, but forgot. She has been sick and…
Weekly Money Check Up
1. The most I’ve spent this last week was on make up. I had run out of a few of the must-haves but was proud of myself for actually waiting until payday to buy them AND for only buying those things! 2. Today I feel reconciled towards money. 3. Money can’t buy happiness. One free/inexpensive…
Weekly Money Check-up
1. The most I’ve spent this last week was on my boss’s gift for Boss’s Day. My team was supposed to be paying me back, but there are a couple of people that I know won’t. 2. Today I feel disheartened towards money. I’ve been putting more money into my savings and 401K which I know is…
Weekly Money Check-Up
1. The most I’ve spent this last week was on work clothes from a clearance sale. I feel only slightly guilty because I really needed the items and they we’re deeply discounted. I got three skirts, a jacket and a blouse for under $100. Not bad, I say. 2. Today I feel pretty good towards…
Oh my goodness
One of my favorite people in the world, just purchased this car. And the kicker. He’s 70!
Weekly Money Check Up
I found this blog, My Pretty Pennies, through one of the fashion sites I sporadically read, but I really liked the idea of a weekly money check up. I know I need to do better with my budget and I am making some strides. Every little bit helps, I suppose, so here’s mine: 1. The…
I am an avid blog reader
I loved to read blogs. I love to write. I love to facebook and I love to tweet. Why, oh why can I not find 15 minutes a week to update my freaking blog? I’m not THAT busy. Although, I have been really busy. (I just typed “busty”, heh. I guess I’m that too.) We…
Want
While I hope I don’t need these anytime soon, or again this season, for that matter, I want these sooo badly!
Ace is the place with the helpful hardware man
We had another weekend of snow. On Friday night/early Saturday morning, my mom called to let us know that they were out of power from the snowstorm. My mom takes care of my 94 year old grandmother so it was a bit nerve-wracking to think of her without heat. They had an old kerosene heater,…
Yay!
I just found out that Lindsay Ferrier of Suburban Turmoil has a fashion and shopping blog, She’s Still Got It. This makes me immensely happy. See, she’s a HILARIOUS writer. I first read her when I’d pick up a Nashville Scene while visiting, and occasionally I’ll read a few of her blog posts on Turmoil. …
I don’t do Christmas
I just don’t get into the Christmas thing. I hate the shopping. I buy gifts for my loved ones all the time (no, they aren’t usually expensive ones) just if I see something that reminds me of them or that they might like. I also hate traffic and since my job requires me to frequently…
Meetin’ in the ladies’ room
I went to my favorite store, New York and Co. over the weekend because my very sweet mother-in-law gave me a bit of shopping money to celebrate my new position at work. Usually I’m the kind of shopper that picks up a thing or two here or there, mostly at discount stores. But this time,…
