Resolutions and Goals: March Edition
Sorry I'm tardy with this one- I was busy enjoying Opening Day and the first day Tres and I both had off in weeks- thanks to the lovely call-off I got Monday. Also, sunshine- welcome back old friend! Feel free to stay awhile.
1. Blog More- March saw...5 blog posts- which averages about one a week. Much better than February, but mostly about the exciting things that I got to do this month. Hopefully April will bring a few more Deep Thoughts etc.
2. Buy a House- No real changes on that one- still in the painfully slow waiting period of this short sale. My realtor and I have been asked for some extra paperwork here and there, which leads me to believe something IS actually happening on the other end, and hopefully we'll hear back soon. I am only technically "in contract" until April 18th, so maybe the deadline is making them want to move a little faster. My roommate moves out at the end of this month, at which time my already-annoyingly-high rent doubles- so I'm hoping I won't be waiting for too much longer (ya hear that BofA?! Remember how I've been a loyal customer of yours since I was ten years old? Do a girl a favor, will ya?!)
3. Stop Buying New Clothes- I spent $10 on a tshirt from American Eagle- my one impulse buy so far- and when I tried to wear it today, I couldn't find it. Further proving my point that I already have too many clothes and need to stop shopping. That brings my yearly budget down to $422. Perhaps one of the only benefits of working Easter Sunday was nothaving needing getting to buy an Easter dress- a tradition in my family for as long as I can remember. There's always next year :) I was so proud of my lack of spending in March that I promptly went on a mini-shopping spree Monday. Good work, Vickie! You'll have to wait until the end of the month to hear about those purchases though.
4. Finish Projects- I'm beginning to think this wasn't a great goal, if my solution was to just stop doing them. I imagine thatif when I get into a new house, there will be projects a-plenty.
5. Go Back to School- I filled out the paperwork to begin classes at UMD this fall, so that's progress I guess.
And without further ado, what has become perhaps my favorite part of these blog posts, if only to prove that I get to hang out with them more frequently than you do- a picture of me, Elle Dub and Courtney with Coco when she was visiting. (Shout out to Tres who took the picture, which was a much better one than the one the other lady took so he could be in...)
