This is too funny

I mean truly hilarious.......tee hee

This past Thursday I was in the process of giving my apartment a thorough clean down and was in the midst of changing the sheets on my bed. Well I went to get some new sheets and found only one. What the heck? Why do I only have two sets of sheets? I mean I had to throw away one set about a week ago because it got ruined in the washer machine (pen) but I could have sworn I had at least 4 more sets.

I mean come on. I know I should live beneath my means but damn........a sistah need some nice, quality, and purty sheets. Right? Right. So you know what I did? I hopped my happy tail online and went a searching for some sheets on sale. I finally found some nice ones at Target; 300 thread count (one blue and one violet) and some organic cotton pillowcase......... Yeah....so I placed my order and used a 15% coupon code. The total came up to $55 which I charged to my Target card. Great deal!.............(cough).........What?

So why when I finished doing laundry today, 3 sets of bed sheets turned up?! Now I have 5 total and 2 coming via UPS any day now.

Ha ha ha ha. Tee hee hee. LOLOLOLOL. Hilarious!

OK........maybe not that funny.

Dag nabbit! Its so hard to say good-bye to shopping at a whim. Its hard I tell ya! Lawd forgive me for I have reneged! I have fallen.

But I will get up. Needless to say I will be partaking in some return festivities tomorrow.

Target card! Girl, I lost mine when I lost my wallet a couple months ago, and I am so glad, because I just got a new statement the other day, and they increased my limit to $1,000. I shall not fall for that trap! I've got that thing down to $94 and just gonna polish it off and be done with it.

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

Being frugal pays off big time

I have been racking my brain over ways to furnish my house but NOT bankrupt myself in the process. I created a shopping list/budget for things I will need to purchase for my first house. Even after using sale prices for pieces at modest furniture and home decor stores, my total was inching a little over $7500. This includes all appliances, living room furniture, formal area, two bedrooms, dining, office, rugs, decor, and lighting. My facial expression ----> (Translation: "Good lawd dats a lot of money!!") So I started searching through sales papers, visited some furniture stores, and found different areas to cut back on. After recalculating the shopping list, my new budget is around $6500. My current facial expression ----> (Translation: "Uhhhhh....") Now I had only been looking at brand new furniture. I came across a website, Apartment Therapy , that I found very resourceful and pretty neat. I was inspired and started searching Craigs List
