1. The most I’ve spent this last week was on Gas. Not counting my mortgage payment since that it’s automatically taken out of my bank account every other week.

2. Today I am thankful for making money this weekend. I’m saving up all the extra cash I make this summer so that I don’t have to dip into my savings account.

3. Money can’t buy happiness. One free thing I did last week that made me happy was go out on a date. I’m not going to post much about it, but it was a good date. I found myself enjoying it more then I originally thought I would and I honestly can’t wait to see him again. From the sounds of things (a text this morning) he can’t wait as well.

4. I will consider this week a success if I clean my house. I will admit it hasn’t been done since my aunt and uncle came for a visit 3 weeks ago. Good thing it doesn’t get really dirty.

5. My favorite Disney character is Belle. My sister was into Ariel and I was into Belle. Can’t really give a reason as to why thou.

1. The most I’ve spent this last week was on my utilities, since I’m not counting my iPad purchase. Yes I bought an iPad. I will be doing a post on it later in the week cuz I actually haven’t used it much. I’m waiting for my brother to put a screen protector onto it cuz I’m paranoid I’ll scratch the screen somehow.

2. Today I am thankful for obtaining a part time babysitting job. It probably won’t be very often, but maybe I’ll make a friend out of the young mother.

3. Money can’t buy happiness. One free thing I did last week that made me happy was spend time with my momma at a fashion show she was a model in. Being a dresser is insanly stressful but fun.

4. I will consider this week a success if I go to the gym at least 3 times this week. I went today, so 1 day down, 2 to go.

5. The most delicious things I ate all week was home made cabbage rolls I had for dinner yesterday. Yummy!

1. The most I’ve spent this last week was on Gas for my car, since I’m not counting my Mortgage payment. Speaking of money; my Weekly Spending Recap will be up later this evening since today is the end of the month.

2. Today I am thankful for being able to spend the weekend with my entire family. We celebrated my grandmothers 80th birthday, my grandfathers 85th birthday and their 61st wedding anniversary.

3. Money can’t buy happiness. One free thing I did last week that made me happy was have family visit my new place.

4. I will consider this week a success if I make it to the gym. I weighted myself this morning and I gained 3 pounds. I blame it on all the good food from this past weekend. So I need to lose the weight by the end of this week, which I think is doable.

5. If I could redecorate one room, I would choose the family room. I technically haven’t even really decorated it so I’ll stick with that answer.

1. The most I’ve spent this last week was on my cell phone.

2. Today I am thankful for a great weekend. My grandparents finally got to visit my place. I also took some updated photos so hopefully I’ll have time to work on a blog post this week showing you all how I’ve decorated.

3. Money can’t buy happiness. One free thing I did last week that made me happy was organize and clean my house. Granted it was because my grandparents were coming over, but I’m glad it was done.

4. I will consider this week a success if I lose 2 pounds. I kinda stalled a bit earlier in the month, but I went to the gym on saturday, so here’s to starting a new routine again.

5. I am currently wearing Jeans, a grey and white striped hoodie, earrings and glasses. It’s out of uniform at work today for the kiddies so the staff get’s to dress down as well.

1. The most I’ve spent this last week was on a Mirror for my front entrance. I got it for 15% off.

2. Today I am thankful for Easter Monday Holiday. It’s a nice day off work for me and I’m able to get a ton of stuff done around the house. I might even take photos..maybe.

3. Money can’t buy happiness. One free thing I did last week that made me happy was quit the part time job. I know I’m somewhat stupid for doing it, but come on. Working 25 hrs a week onto of the 40hrs I already work not to mention having to plan my life 3 weeks in advance was not worth the extra cash I would have been making.

4. I will consider this week a success if I make it to the gym at least once. I can’t remember the last time I’ve been.

5. This Easter I went with my family to visit my aunt and uncle in Buffalo. My grandparents were already there and we had a great lunch and dinner.
