It is over lawd!!!!!

Thank you to all my well wishers.


I did better than I thought I would. Doesn't say much but we will see in 3 months.


I missed out on a very successful and fantabulous Lady's Day program that the women of my church threw. And I am not a happy camper.


Taking this test has made me realize a couple of things.........

1. I don't want to go back to school. I am serious. I really don't. The studying, the test taking, the anxiety, the waiting (for your grade). I mean that test had the ability to put a damper on my whole week. I do not like that at all. I mean the same could go for anything important thing in life really but I would rather it be something I want. Not something "recommended" by someone else because they think it is essential to have.

2. I don't like that so much "emphasis" was put on this test when it is not a "requirement" for our job. It is good to have. Been even as I think about it. Do I really want to become a PE and sign off on important documentation that I would be held responsible for. If I signed off on drawings for the construction of a building that later was found to have design issues, I WOULD BE HELD LIABLE. I don't want that kind of responsibility.

3. Traditional engineering does not excite me. It bores me really. I can't see myself doing this for the next 5 years let alone 25 years. No mam!!!!


If I pass will I feel the same way??????


*sigh*



(I apologize if any of that was confusing......my mind is racing a mile a minute and it is hard for me to get down what I am thinking without jumbling it up)

I understand. I went back to school to get a second degree in accounting. It was exhausting and it made me wonder if I am in the right job in the first place!
Girl, you have passed that test!!!!

I understand how you feel though.

Once you get the test back, you will feel totally different!!!

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
