I'm back!!

Hey all!

Sorry I have been MIA these past couple of weeks. Work and life has been hectic. I just got back in from out-of-town. I went down to South Florida to see my parents and siblings. My mom just had surgery for her fibroids and my daughter has been bugging me to go to see her fam for the longest. My mom is doing well and will be taking the whole 6-8 week recovery time to rest and heal. Per my mom's request, my daughter will now be spending the rest of the summer with them. YESSS!!!!!!!!!!

So I am child-less for the next 2 months or so. I am so giddy I can't stay still. This will be like a vacation for me. LOL. It sounds bad but you gotta understand; For the last 5 years it has been nothing but my daughter's world. Everything I did had to do with her in some way. This will be the first time in a LONG time where I can actually plan a weekend just for myself. Or go out with my friends and not have to worry about a babysitter. I can actually get ready for an outing an hour ahead of time instead of three. LMAO.

I will be back on track with my blog starting today. So look out for another post tonight. I am off to start Dimps "Get-Fine Day". LOL. Getting the hair did and nails did. Shoot I might even let someone give me a pedicure (I don't like folks touching my feet..LOL). Then off to buy a new fit. I have definitely earned it. Who wants to join me???!!

Be easy,

Dimps

Home Purchase Plan - How I faired

Back in January I developed my Home Purchase Plan (HPP for short). I listed exactly what I was looking for in my new home including my needs and wants. I printed up my HPP and carried it will me everywhere. I especially took it with me when I went house hunting with my agent. I had a momentary relapse (I'll explain more on that on another post) but got back on track and stuck to my guns. I ended up with a beautiful house that fits all my needs and wants. HOME PURCHASE PLAN The home I want: Price: $0 -> $190,000 $180,000 Ideal Monthly Mortgage (including taxes, PMI, HOA, & hazard) : $1200 (max $1300) $1310 Location: Surrounding Orlando Area Check Bedrooms: 3+ 4 Bathrooms: 2+ 2 Square footage: 1700 s.f. + 1810 sf Year Built: 2000+ 1998 HOA: $100/month max $150/yr NEEDS: * A-rated school district Check * Quick access to major highways Check * Good daycare Check * Nice

My $100 grocery budget and tips for saving on your grocery bill

I did a post back in October on how I kept my grocery budget under $120. In that post, I had pictures of the grocery shopping I had done earlier in the day for a total of $29.76. I also listed a number of ways I keep my grocery budget so low. Today I did some grocery shopping for meat and some other misc items. Here is what I bought: - 2 packages of chicken breasts - 2 packages of drumsticks - 2 whole hens - 2 packages of chicken wings - 1 bag of roma tomatoes - 1 bag of onions - 1 bag of organic baby carrots - 2 gallons of water (not shown) - 1 bottle of bbq sauce Total = $24.90 One big way to save on groceries each month is to package the food you buy into servings sizes. Your serving size depends on how many people are in your family. I separate out my sizes based on how much food my daughter and I consume in one meal. Take for instance drumsticks: My daughter will eat one drumstick while I will eat two. So I package those in threes. I know some folks are visual so here is wh
