I don't mind telling you…
I'm Pooped. With a capital P even.
The motivation is still here, but so is all the work, and the projects that went with. I tell ya, that God of mine… He's so funny.
You know how I saved a boatload of money switching my auto insurance to Geico fixing my own pipes?
Tonight I spent that. On something else that broke.
However, due to my new budget plan and savings when the TV blew, I was able to go and get a new one. I was in search of cheap and I found it. $150 for the TV and because it was marked down because it was a display model, I got a new tv cart/entertainment center. That was also marked down.
I went with a budget of $250 and spent that. Even though I really wanted one of those fancy LCD HDTV initial ones. But I don't need one of those.
Matthew and I hauled the old stuff out, brought the new stuff in. Sam and I assembled the unit and we did a pretty good job. I only had 2 parts left over, but I found my mistake and luckily it was one that could be fixed with out tearing the whole thing apart.
The TV/VCR/DVR/VCR/PS2 are all hooked up; the universal remote is programmed for the new boob tube and this little girl is tuckered out.
The bathroom is in shambles still as I never did get to put it all away. I was making sure that it wouldn't leak or that I did something wrong. Mt. St. Laundry still resides in my kitchen. The yard sale stuff is still in the craft room, but there's always tomorrow. Right?
Provided nothing else breaks.
I'm grateful that I have a kid free weekend coming up so I can attempt to get caught up on this stuff. Please pray that I'm not exhausted by the time the weekend rolls around.
Until next time…

That happens to us all the time. Get extra money in and there's always something necessary to spend it on. But we always say, "Just think if that extra money hadn't come in" instead of thinking about it the other way around. It helps. A little. lol

I'm with BlondeBlogger. We'd been saving up some money and trying to decide what we were going to do with it (fix up the house?) and then some potentially major car expenses are looming.
It's totally awesome that you had the money to pay outright and didn't have to finance it. I'd hate for your dog — I mean tv to be taken away if you couldn't make payments ROFL!

Heather, drink some yummy coffee. And good job on saving that money so you could replace the TV. My life would be so very sad without BRAVO to watch every night.
And, here's a question I can't find the answer to: What is your career?
