Happy Monday, everyone! It was definitely another scorching weekend. This week is supposed to be “cooler,” but that just means temperatures in the mid-90s with high humidity, so it’s still pretty hot.
I didn’t get around to taking my business pictures as planned on Saturday. I had to reschedule because of a situation with my roommate. To keep it short (many of you already know from Twitter), we had to kick him out because he was involved in illegal activities and hadn’t paid rent.
Moving on, I’m really hoping to hear back TODAY about the work test I took a couple of weekends ago.
I watched a lot of movies this weekend. I rented 21 Jump Street (hilarious! And who would’ve thought Channing would play the “nerd”?), The Devil Inside Me, The Grey, and Safe House.
I did something really silly on Saturday. I went to a new car dealership after hours and looked at Jeeps. I don’t know why I want a new car so badly, except that my current car is a “sports car” and doesn’t look very professional. Someone stop me from this crazy temptation!
Here are my updates:
School: Only 4 more weeks until I’m done and then I’ll have my MBA. Woohoo! Who else is tired of my countdown? Hopefully, having classes 4 nights a week right after work won’t kill me. This is the last semester of doing this, though.
Group projects are the worst, as you all know. They never seem to work out well. I have a 3-person group, and one guy hasn’t done a single thing yet. But my professor said if he continues to slack off, I can give him his overall group grade, which is worth about 50% of his class grade. If he doesn’t start contributing, he won’t be getting his MBA. This guy doesn’t work, only has one class this semester, and doesn’t have kids, so I have no idea what he does with his time.
Extra Monthly Income: I didn’t make any money from my blog last week. I only made about $10 from secret shop phone calls. It was a very uneventful week for extra income.
Budget Cutting: I didn’t cut anything from the budget this week. I’m not really sure what else I could cut out. This section of my updates might be disappearing soon.
Yes, I bought another dress. Not feeling guilty about it!
Spending: I went shopping a couple of times last week, but it was all budgeted for. I spent just under $100 on 3 dresses and 3 necklaces. I plan on returning one of them because I don’t really like it anymore. This is all for the Vegas vacation with my friends, of course. I’m still looking for a cute pair of summery heels or wedges but haven’t found any that I like.
I could do without, though. I really shouldn’t be spending any more money on clothes and shoes. I also went through my closet yesterday and listed a few items on eBay. I have about 2 big bags of clothes to sell. I still plan on going through the rest of my closet and selling a lot more.
Food: We’re still doing pretty well with this. I’m starting to get tired of what I’ve been making, so I need to find some new recipes. I know I made my meal plan yesterday, but I’m craving tacos for tonight. Does anyone have some really good or different taco recipes?
Being Healthy: This area has been just okay for me. It’s way too hot outside (yes, I’m complaining about the weather again). I should probably run outside because I could lose a ton of weight in this heat, but that just doesn’t sound pleasant.
How’s your spending, working out, and extra income going?
