Money to blow.

Why doesn’t money grow on trees?
image
Have you ever thought about where all your hard earned money goes?
Because I just thought about it and I’m ready to go back to being 15 again.

I have to buy a stupid calculator that’s almost $200
because it has an extra feature that my current one doesn’t have.
My classes are $3,000 per quarter which is only 10 weeks long.
That’s $12,000 a year just for classes.
Out of pocket since the government doesn’t give me a dime.
I rent my books so that saves a lot,
but typically I’m spending about $500-$800 per quarter
That’s an additional $2,000 at least per year.
I don’t pay for my gym membership since it got messed up, no complaints.
I just keep a tanning package going all year round
So that’s an automatic $70 per month out of my checking account
$840 per year.

My phone bill adds up to $600 per year.
My truck is a gas guzzler..
Between school and work I’ve been putting in at least $50 a week.
On top of all the other costs of living..
I guess I’m pretty lucky to make the money I do.
And that I’m with someone who makes amazing money.
I spent $250 on tickets for tonight’s game..
We’re probably going to be spending well over that for next Friday’s game
Nashville vs. Detroit
We also have to book out flight and hotel for Nashville
By next week..
Which is going to be about a $1,000.
I just bought another Red Wings bikini
And.. I have to buy all new summer clothes since everything I have is too big.

As much as I love money, I hate it too.
I just want to spend it on stuff I want..
Growing up is annoying.
I remember making $100 a week and never having a dime in the bank.
Now I have two bank accounts and I’d probably cry if either was to ever go under $1,000
I know that money can’t buy happiness.. but not having money would make life suck.
Not just for the materialistic stuff, but in order to live life.

WAH!!!
Now that I’m done complaining about my money that gets blown..
Enjoy some photos from tonight…

Haha, his smile couldn’t be any more fake.

This picture is so awful of me..
We were awkwardly standing and the guy did not take
our photo how I wanted it.. but, whatever.

We had a really nice night!
Now, we’re both getting everything all set before bed..
Then it’s work tomorrow night.
I think I’m going to do a Q&A this week..
So if you’ve ever had anything you wanted to ask.. leave a comment
If you want you can also leave anonymous comment
on my tumblr.. I’m hesitant about that because I know one
annoying stalker cant help but ask questions
no one but that stalker cares about..
I’m sure the rest of you are mature enough though.
ASK HERE
Or feel free to leave a comment!
Have a great Sunday everyone!
Oh, and if you find a money tree.. let me know!

Now or never... (QUICK UPDATE)

I wasn't lying when I said that I wanted to get back into blogging. However, life took multiple turns and I've been too busy to sit down at my computer and produce a decent blog post. It can't hurt to fill in anyone that still reads my blogs, but might not closely follow me on social media. After TWO years of being single and not being into the idea of dating anyone, I'm actually in a relationship. I know at the beginning of a relationship it's expected to be in the state that you feel like you've never been happier. The difference is, I've known my boyfriend for 11 years. When we were young, we'd always act like a couple. We never had a "title" back then no matter how many times we reconnected. Seven months ago, he finally moved back home. I was so excited to have him back in my life. Then I realized that I wasn't okay with just being his friend. After about 5 months of blowing him off and him giving up trying to hang out, I finally ex...

Sleepy Momma

I did plan on posting this previous week and the week before.. however, I've been so incredibly exhausted and busy. I guess that's a great way of putting, welcome to mom life! To be completely honest, I'm so happy with where I'm at in life right now. Yes, there are things that are difficult to deal with and I know some of those things will always be hard. For a while I wished that I could go back well over a year ago and made a different decision. I don't wish that now because I've grown so much and gained things I could never give up. My strength, my motivation and my happiness is at an all time high. It feels amazing. In other news...  I finally got a kitten! She's such a sassy girl, but she can be the most loving thing at times! When she wakes up and I'm next to her or when I pick her up, she grabs my cheeks and kisses me.  The bottom left photo is a result of a playful kitty that needs her nails trimmed. If you foll...

Thoughts from an ex-blogger..

My desire to get back to writing has been so strong lately. I can't seem to figure out if I want to blog again. At the same time, I REALLY want to blog again. I've found comfort in my privacy. This comfort has made me uncomfortable with openly sharing details of my life. However, blogging always was there to provide me with an outlet to express my thoughts, feelings and emotions. The people I was able to connect with through blogging was always an incredible bonus. I didn't want to blog when I realized that people that I don't want to be part of my life were reading my blog posts. During this time I also stopped being active on Twitter and Instagram. I felt that it was unfair to me that specific people were able to catch up on my life via social media. There are many issue I face with returning to my blog. I need to allow myself to step outside of my comfort zone of keeping my life private. I need to be okay with the fact that some people, that shouldn't be ...
