Finally a turnaround.....

Yesterday was a wonderful day (except for the loss of my best friend's dad). My previous boss Margaret called me and asked if I wanted to come back to work there. My response was "more than anything". She will work with me while I go to back to school. Finally, something is going my way. I am SURE things in every aspect of my life will be looking up in the next few weeks.

Heat......

I absolutely hate the heat. The funny thing is that I have lived in the deep south my whole life. Mississippi to be exact. My birthday is July 3rd. I am literally a firecracker baby. I cannot stand to be hot. I become very ill when I am hot. Now, that being said, if I was sitting on a deck at the lake it would be a different story. I absolutely love the lake. I love to be on a boat with a cold drink and looking at the water. Oh, well I can always dream.

Just crappy......

The year 2009 has basically been crappy for me all the way around. Losing my job in December and then one disappointment after another. I am trying to think of good things that have happened this year. 1. The ac/dc concert 2. the trip to St Louis. I think this year can compare the the year 2004 which totally sucked in every area.

Coupons......

I have been very fortunate to have a pretty good job for a long time. I am not rich but I get pretty much anything I want. Until I lost my job in December and it took me several months to find a new job.

Due to my current financial situation (which is pretty much caught up). I have been clipping coupons. I am not one of those people that can go to the grocery store and spend 15 dollars for 100 worth of groceries. But I am now enjoying clipping the coupon for resturants such as chili's that says "5 dollars off your bill". I can take that $5 I have saved and put it toward the tip - I try to overtip when I can.

Today I went into a little boutique and had a 10% coupon off. I picked up some precious little barettes. Had I not had that coupon I would have not went into this particular boutique and it has such charming items. I was on the way to the doctor so I did not have alot of time to peruse.

I guess everyone is trying to cut back. At least I am trying to be smarter about my money.
