I have been in and out of dr. offices since graduation... on the grind so we can move to our new place! Being without internet and trying to apply for job positions in a different state is damn near impossible. Once I get settled in my place everything will be back in gear. Thanks to those who've expressed their concern about my absence. I'll holla.

Sorry for the long delay! Just trying close one chapter and open a new one... it still hasn't hit me that I will be graduating this Saturday and getting my degree. I guess because I am still on campus and doing "school" things but I have nothing in my apartment. Fian and I have moved all of our things but I have to graduate and he needs to work to finish out his contract! I still got a lot to do,

I feel like I have been on a roller coaster with this moving situation, first I'm up, then I'm down. Current status: UP. Future hubby and I just got back and we found great potential. Also while we were down in the durty durty (south) we knocked off some items on out "wish"list (see next column): computer desk, massaging pillows, paper shredder and home phone. We are still trying to tackle that

Guess what? I'm still not finished packing....they'll be here tomorrow around 1pm. My fian and mom keep telling to quit my minimum wage student worker piece of crap job so I can stop stressing and get things accomplished! I graduate in 16 more days (August 4), everything is coming so fast! I need a nap!Fian and I have been on top of things with our wishlist. Check the list... our next quest is

Yesterday my fian and I got our first card together... Sam's Club membership. It is a start! I was so excited too but I took the worst picture! Oh well. I thought a membership to Sam's Club was sooooooo exclusive but they said they can sign us up right then and there. And we got 2 free soccer balls for signing up. I love window shopping at Sam's.. Therefore I put a "wish"list on my blog for the

I am back on the job hunt again but now for a different state since fian and I are moving together, I feel like Krystal... and thanks to Single Ma for her encouraging words about moving in together while tackling my finances and credit history. Any hoo, I sent out a blanket of resumes and cover letters to business in the area that we are moving. I'm a tad discouraged because I have the notion

1. If/when I walk home at night I must talk on my phone to some one or else I won't walk. Clowns will eat me!2. I hate for my food to touch.3. I go through magazine, pick out misspelled words and email the company. It's no fair that these people are getting PAID to make mistakes and I'm getting student wages! It's the GD (graphic designer) in me!4. My favorite musician is Bjork and I catch a lot

Well I had to go toe-to-toe with Bank of America yesterday, the thing is, on June 30 I was strolling around looking at all the things I shouldn't buy when it dawned on me to inquire about getting a secured credit card with one of the local banks. I finally ended up at Bank of America (BofA for short), I told the personal banker what my goals are and he was quick to sign me up and even tried to

I know I have been M.I.A. since my mini- holiday but my BF decided to throw a wrench in every one's plans and proposed to me........I'm engaged yall!!! He was too adorable the way he did it, it was a private moment that him and I both shared.... none of that "basketball-marquee" proposal. So....We are working on moving together at the beginning of August so I will be preoccupied with planning my

Well, paycheck or no paycheck (see post below), I am starting my budget today. It is such a bad weekend but life is full of inconvienient times. I'm going to the city this weekend, I get to spend time with my boyfriend... go to the Taste, and my friend's enegagement party is this weekend, plus mom wants to go wandering around for a wedding dress. These are not budget-friendly activities, but I am

So... I'm still not calmed down from this, but in a nutshell... the new supervisor at work that does payroll, mistakenly didn't report my hours for the last 2 weeks. So basically I have been slaving at work for free labor! And we brought it to the "payroll" woman and she said since it is the last day of the fiscal year (as luck would have it), they can not cut me a check until after July 5...

I just finished reading Girl Make Your Money Grow by Glinda Bridgforth and Gail Perry-Mason. I enjoyed the stories that they told and the exercises after each chapter. It reminds me more of a book to motivate you than tell you all the ins and outs of investing. Now I am on to The Wall Street Journal and Smart Women Finish Rich. I can all ready say that David Back's book has too much dialogue in

Hmmm I have gotten many things accomplished since I have stepped away from updating this blog. First and foremost, I applied for my first "real" job today... It is basically the exact line of work that I do at my internship now but instead of making minimum wage.. I will be starting with a salary that is to die for (for entry-level) and will be applying to several more opportunities by Monday. My

Today is a good day... I got an email from American Airlines stating that they are sending my boyfriend and I both $100 voucher for our major inconvience while using their services to go to Miami last month! Damn straight!And I just opened my (online) bank statement and it says that I have a credit from my university for $500. We have a incentive program, if you graduate in 4 years you can apply

Update: 05:15pm send off permanent opt-out formsI am practicing restraint! I am 2 checks away from finishing my book... I saw these personal Hello Kitty checks...and the only thing that is holding me back is my plan to practice a budget beginning June 29 and the fact that I can use my bank's online bill pay instead of writing a check. I want to get the bonus buy single set that cost $36. But $36

I'm sitting around like a bum on this lazy & hot Sunday afternoon. I basically haven't left the house in 2 days. And no I am not agoraphobic... I'm just soakin' up some of this AC. I am in summer school and it feels wonderful to not take about 4 classes a day, not to work like a beast... it feels wonderful not going to bed until 4am because of exams and waking up to a peaceful day. I'm am basking

This is the first moment since "starting" my debt that I stood up to face it head on. In the past talking about my debt would bring me to tears. Don't get me wrong, my situation could be worse (and I thank God that it isn't) but it's time to stop running.Before I went to college, I started with 2 credit lines. I followed the instructions that I heard from television. Charge things pay it off... I
