January 2010=CRAZY!
My year started out with the Florida Gators kicking Cincinnati’s booty and Urban Meyer threatening to leave the Gators. I mean that was all too much excitement & upset for a whole month if you ask me! lol. But life always seems to throw me not one curve ball but at least 8 in a row! ;)
So, I went to my eval back in November. I had a follow up on Jan. 7th for what I thought was a 2nd eval....NOPE. I have to take a class that will better inform me about traffic violations, etc... I mean, that's really not too bad but the class is 4 HOURS long and lasts for 4 WEEKS! Oh and the price is $275 dollars! Blah! But it's my own fault for not getting this done months ago so oh well.
Then the pressure of paying a $1000 fine in one month was outta control. Again, my own fault considering I should have had this paid off over the course of last year. Can we say SLACKER! But friends & fam...I did it and all by myself. On a super tight budget...budgeting right down to the pennies. :)
Then comes the freakin' out stage of "OMG, I haven't saved any money and my lease is up this month!!!!" I did find a really awesome priced apartment super close to work! It's a small 1 bedroom in Midvale/SLC. I will go from a large 2 bedroom with a stupid roommate and practically living in my bedroom b/c he's so weird to living in MY OWN apartment with NO roomies! Go me go me! I move in starting tomorrow. Oh, and how awesome is this...IT'S SUPPOSED TO SNOW! lol I'm really thankful for mom & dad's all around support! Thanks mom & dad!
This past week I have worked all doubles 8am-8 or 9pm. It sucked...but I made it! I have Friday, Saturday, & Sunday off now so I can't complain.
Overall, this month has been crazy busy and stressful. I have to pat myself on the back for getting myself in gear. I have learned that budgeting is the best thing in the world. I've learned that saving money instead of blowing it will save me a stress attack. I've come to realize that I am capable of doing anything and everything I want! But most of all I have to thank my Mom & Dad. They are the most amazing people in the world. And all my friends & family that have stuck by my side through some of the toughest times I've ever had deserve praise too! I love you all!
I am so excited for you Cait!!
