Lord Give ME Strenght & Thank You For It All....Barking Dogs & All

Yesterday

Yesterday I went to work..long ass day and made about $50 dollards in tips.

• I bought my bro some food=$10
• I went to publix bought some ingredients for stir fry some time next week=$13.62
• Total= $23.62

So the $26.38 that is left should be going into my emergency fund. dont let me forget that!

Today we have a party of up to 25 I think....lord give me strenght...

I wish, I wish

To be a trophy wife. So dont have to work.

July Budget

On my Budget for July it includes

• No unneccesary purchases

Essentials:

1. Car Insurance $162.00
2. Cell Phone $57.00
3. Gas $80.00

RANDOM ( I will add as I see fit)

• Sweeties Birthday Gift & Dinner $80 ( he doesnt like hooplas? so I am making a hand made card)
• Return of an Item...???
  

$15.20

So that refund from progressive came in and I quickly moved that into me ING so I dont spend it unwillingly...progress people, progress,

Excercising, No Sugar, Budgeting, Natural Hair & Then some

ok so, I m still excercising, I walk not for about 1 hour because my park is closed and i have stairs to go up on, and I dont want to join a gym. My friend "Tamara" and I work out together today we worked out at a park close to my house. We walked to a from out respective homes to a place in between, then walked to the park, then to my house and I drove her home....

while @ her house, we were talking about diets and such and she was telling me about no sugar GASP!...me not eat stuff with sugar, i would die, no? well I decided to try it. so I will try for this month to not add sugar to the things I eat....

Budgeting....uhm yea

Natural Hair, I found someone who is a certified natural hair care specialist. I have been transitioning for about 9 months now, I no longer have relaxed hair, and with that I needed someone who knew that my hair wasnt "damaged" but natural. So i have to schedule a consultation with her next week sometime.

Lez and I arent going to Key West anymore...
