And the next chapter begins......

So, life has been super crazy lately. I left my waitressing job at Chili's as the economy continues to plummet and the wallets of the community grow more and more sparse. People do not go out as much, and when they do they are kind of cheap in the tip department. My new part time job is that of a Partylite candle consultant. I am loving the new found freedom that I have when it comes to scheduling. I control when and how much I work, I set my hours and it feels fantastic! The company is really established and I LOVE the products. Everything is so beautiful and full of quality that it really sells itself. Each month there are new specials especially for the guest and the hostess. I can honestly say that each month these specials are better than the month before. If anyone is interested in checking out the product let me know, you will NOT be disappointed, I promise!

What can you get for $5.14 at CVS?

So today I scored big time at CVS after following a tip from the fabulous shoppers at Hot Coupon World. A lot of stuff is marked down 90% and I got bags full! Here is what I scored to get me started in my Birthday/Christmas fund! I had some extra care bucks to burn, so my out of pocket costs were only $5.14! I saved a total of $191.86 according to my receipt! I love sales like this. Thanks to hot coupon world I was able to capitalize on this one as it was not in any way advertised in the store.

1. Hopefully you will like what I make, but there is not a guarantee on that fact.
2. This will be done this year at the very least.
3. This will be a surprise just for you, there is not telling what it might be.

All moved in...

Well, Miss Chloe and I are all moved in, now if we could just get unpacked and organized! I just finished the first class in my bachelor's program on Monday, so the stress of that is finally over! Now I can focus my energies to the new place and to the remainder of holiday preparations. I have a week off from school before the start of my next class. I had forgotten how nice it is to take a break. Chloe and I have already put up our artificial tree, the next step is to decorate it and the new apartment. That is the task for tonight, hopefully! I will post pictures when everything is done and looking beautiful!
