New Apartment

I can't tell you how happy I am to finally be in our own place again. I love it. Unpacking is no fun but it's actually going rather smoothly and it looks like *fingers crossed* everything will fit. Now, I did a mock budget a couple months ago to see what we could afford and our max would have been 900. I even factored in groceries, going out and some free spending. It sounded so promising. Well rent is 850ish which should work. And I think it still will. Just right now it is so FRUSTRATING. Still paying utilities on the house and since we moved early we have to double up on bills (getting out of there was SO worth it though). There are a few bills that will have to be a couple weeks late. :( I don't like that at all. I hate being late with my bills. But I can say we are officially those people. The people that can't go out and do anything because we are flat broke. I'm HOPING it gets better around February/March and we can even out but with Jesse's store closing end of January and not being perfectly sure what he's getting for work after that, it's scary. I've had the mantra (mainly for my husband so he doesn't freak out on me) "we'll be fine... we'll be okay..." for the last couple months when it's been a little hard and we cut it that close. And I make myself believe it too. The problem is, the way we're going, we're not okay. We barely make it every month because we have little or no self control. Maybe this is the wake up call. Maybe it's time for me to stop thinking we'll be fine because we always are. Even if we barely make it, we still make it. Well this month we won't make it. And that's hard for me. Hard for me to wrap my head around, hard for me to cope with. I don't want us to be the people that can't pay bills and simply have to decide what bills are the most important every month. I'm trying really hard not to break down right now. There are so many little things that I'm just waiting for to happen so we can climb out of this. I would like to buy groceries next month. It's just the waiting game now. I'm doing the best that I can and taking it day by day. Hoping that this will be over soon. I'm going to focus this next month on unpacking and getting our apartment in order. And remembering that this too shall pass...

We'll be fine.

Music Monday

Starting something new, something to keep me writing. It's called Music Monday - where I post something music related, a song or CD that I love that I'd love to share with you. :)

Today's Music is the song Hollywood by Michael Bublé. It is a new song that came out a few weeks ago and I absolutely LOVE it. He sings "Hollywood is dead, you can find it in yourself." Basically it means you don't need talent to be famous anymore. You don't need Hollywood to be famous. And you don't need to be famous to be important. I love it. It's just a feel good song all around and the music video is hysterical. Bublé love!

"Keep on loving what is true and the world will come to you,

you can find it in yourself."

'Hollywood' is currently available on iTunes.

My Ramblings...

Just cuz.

>I'm so freaking excited for tonight! This day is going too slow... I just want it to be 5! I am going to see Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at Broadway Palm with Jesse, Josh, Mom, Dad, Grandma, Brittany, Jason, Laura, Alyssa, MecKenzie, Anne Marie, Jay & Alisha. Not to mention that Christian, Debby, Joe & LindsayLove will be working tonight. :D I love my BP family. Plus there is AMAZING food before the show! Speed up time please. :)

>I just watched American Idol last season because I love Ellen and it was Simon's last year. Then I was going to go back to not watching it. I was really hoping that they would get crappy new judges or at least people I didn't care about. Well, I love Nigel Lythgoe from SYTYCD, and Jesse said he will probably start watching it if Steven Tyler is judging. So I guess that plan backfired. :P

>I want pizza. I really want like Papa John's or Barro's but I can't do delivery today. So I might just have to stick with Pizza Hut which is drive-thru at Taco Bell. That is if I can get out of here at all. It's unlikely. :( And that Lean Cuisine pizza just doesn't look like it will do the trick. boo.

>Okay so I actually have a ton of things to do today at work and it's already 12:30. I just had to get all this out of my head so I can focus on work and I'm sure it will be time to go before I know it!

UPDATE: Going to TB/PH. oh yeah...
