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.
