Going away again

Sorry for the lack of posting this week. My week from hell was followed by a week of blessings. My co-workers were able to help me get back all my information and work emails. I am truly grateful for their help. And having the laptop has been such a convenience and so essential with my job. We were finally given the go ahead on the new building and I have been working from it since last week. The building is beautiful and has the latest high tech gadgets. Only thing is we don't have computers. This hasn't been an issue since EVERYONE at my job has a laptop. So we just bring our laptops in, connect to the Wi-Fi they have set up and work. If I didn't have a laptop I wouldn't be able to do any work out here.

So I guess everything happens for a reason. Speaking of things happening, my cable stopped working the same day my computer died. The cable guy came out on Wednesday to check out what was going on. Come to find out that lightning had struck my apartment and burned out all the cable wires! That explains what happened to my desktop. Isn't that crazy? Talk about anomalies.

Anyways, I am heading out of town today to go and see my daughter. I miss my munchkin so much! I may do a post or two while I am down there since I am taking my laptop. But when I get back I'll do an end-of-the-month report and also list my goals for August. Till then

Ciao bella..........

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
