Resolutions and Goals: February Edition
Sorry I'm a day late- I'm in the middle of night shift zombie land...
1. Blog More- only two real blog posts for February, so I'm giving myself a C- this month. Lots of things going on IRL over here, and plenty of things I'd love to share, but I've done a poor job of managing my time and the bloggity blog has yet again gone to the back burner. Sorry folks, hopefully March will be better.
2. Buy a House- one of the main reasons I've been so busy this month was because I put an offer on a townhouse in Crofton! It's a short sale, so I have a few more weeks (maybe months, but let's hope not) to wait before I hear back from the bank. It's two bedrooms, two full baths with a semi-open floor plan. It's the bottom unit of a piggy-back, but it doesn't feel underground at all, and has a walk out to a nice back patio. (how do you like all of my official house-buying lingo?!) I've already begun the fun part of decorating in my head, which of course includes watching lots and lots of HGTV. (have you figured out that I'm obsessed yet?)
3. Stop Buying New Clothes- This month I only purchased a pair of black skinnies for $40 from American Eagle, which brings my total budget down to $432. I've come across a few things that I normally would've just purchased, but for the most part, my willy-nilly spending has really ceased. My bank account is thankful.
4. Finish Projects- still haven't started any, so 100% here :) but really, my room is a disaster. I did my taxes and already got my return back, so that has to count for something, right?
5. Go Back to School- no real changes here- I'm looking into different classes at Maryland to take in the fall.
And your monthly picture of me, Elle Dub and Courtney, with our Valpo BFF Justin, who was in town this weekend interviewing for a teaching position. (Just move to DC already, Jeggs- you know you want to!)
