New Life Solutions

A few weeks ago I talked about axing New Year's Resolutions because (for me and probably for most of y'all) they didn't stick.  So I created New Life Solutions because this is something that is constantly changing with one's life.  I gave some brief information about each of the more important things I are constantly changing in my life and that also need daily not once a year attention. 
For five days next week, I will get a lot more specific in how I plan on executing these New Life Solutions as well as preview/review the tools I will be using to help me make and continue said changes. 

I hope you stop by, share what you are doing, and are inspired. 

Thanks!

Sunday Savings

I'm sure many of  y'all watched "Extreme Couponing" on TLC a few weeks ago (I think it's still in heavy rotation) and were amazed (just like me) by the savings and borderline mental illness shown in the show.  Well on my Sunday Savings, I want to describe to you how I did my own version of "extreme couponing" while not becoming a candidate for a mandatory 72.

I'm a hustler...





This is what I need.



I'm broke.  Yep, I'm flat out broke; just like a majority of folks in the U.S.  I got bills that are past due, I have to pay for gas that I can't afford, and I have a household to maintain on my tiny budget.  I have been looking for jobs and it's hard out there (especially since I am in between professions right now).  So, in order to seriously supplement my income, I had to get a side hustle.

Lessons "The Game" taught me

Just like damn near every other Black person in the US (and parts of the Caribbean and some European locations once it was uploaded online) I watched "The Game" on BET Tuesday night.  The hype (despite my lack of interest in it after it was cancelled the first time) made me want to watch the season premiere.  Hell I NEEDED to watch the season premiere.  Girl Melanie? Derwin? Janae? DJ?!

Mommy Monday

To tell the truth, I almost didn't post anything today.  Especially after yesterday's rant regarding SD and his text messages to me Sunday morning.  But instead of not posting and being irritated, I decided to learn from that and make it into a Mommy Monday.

Sperm Donor...This Blog's for you!

So this morning I got a text from SD telling me and my mom to stop slandering his name.  Hmm..that's funny because I don't know anyone who knows you.  But, if I AM saying something to someone that knows you then maybe I'm telling the truth.

Happy New Year...Now what?

Happy 2011! 

There is no such word as "can't"

People usually say "from the mouths of babes."  I am now a believer in the newly coined phrase "from the actions of babes."

Manners

I was at the grocery store the other day and I was getting something from the hot food section.  The woman behind the counter was asking me about something and I responded "no ma'am."

I got a funny look.
