Money

Lately I've been doing soo good with my money (minus that Jazz game...and my tax return helped quite a bit) I've finally been able to pay things off/down and feel I'm in a good position. With that though there's only so many things you can cut before it's too much. I think I've hit that with my wardrobe. I honestly can't remember the last time I bought an article of clothing (I'm choosing not to include shoes with this) I'm even bringing this up because I think I've hit my breaking point, where there's only so many things I can wear in my closet. On top of the fact most of them no longer fit, I think I need a major shopping spree this weekend. I've also been trying to dejunk and sell things I don't need, maybe that will help this new found clothing budget need... if only I liked to go shopping, that would probably help things out a little. If only I allowed myself this little spending spree to get a new iPad...

Two Day Fail

If the last two days of my life could be summarized by a picture this is what I would choose.

Seriously.

Bad two days.

Let me just begin with the cookies. I swear on my life I followed the recipe exactly, yet somehow they turned into pancakes and came out like this. I almost took a nap instead of making them, but decided I wanted a quick treat, I should have stuck with the nap. Next, so in my entire life I can probably count on my fingers how many times I've ever honked at someone. Well tonight was one of them. Seriously people if I'm in a lane and you're in a lane, that does not equal you having the right to just merge into my lane without a blinker or warning at all. I won't even get started with Applebees. I waited there for over a half hour, it was a party of 6 and every single party who came in before or after me was seated before we were. Some groups even had 4 or 5 people, seriously frustrating. Pretty much the rest of it deals with other things I probably shouldn't blog about (haha that makes it sound much worse then it actually is)

Also, I keep missing opportunities to talk with a certain someone. I feel I either keep missing chances or they don't get when I'm putting myself out there. I'm nearly positive they have no idea either, I think we're both pretty clueless. So much so, I haven't had enough of a chance to get to know them to see if I am even interested and see if all of this over analyzing would be for something or not...there are moments when a person doesn't really need a drink they're just trying to start up a conversation.

One thing though and even though it happened today, I still blame yesterdays stuff on it too. I didn't listen to the Spirit today. I was at Costco, in the rain, and was running to my car when I saw this old lady trying to put her groceries in her van. I usually always offer to help and I think I've been turned down every time (not sure why, I don't think I look THAT scary) Anyway, something told me to ask her if she needed help. Well because of the rain and the fact I'm always turned down I ignored it. It kept getting louder and louder, I finally got to my car and mentally said no she's fine and just drove off. I feel awful now. What if she really needed help? Or what if she didn't and it was just a test to see how well I'd follow promptings even if I was having a bad day? Regardless I failed miserably and I feel super bad because of it.

Well, at least I have Monday off to hopefully calm down and relax a little and get over the slump of bad happenings, whether my own doing or the stars just not aligning for me.

Jazz game!

I had the amazing opportunity to go to last weeks Jazz vs Bulls game with Shelley. Since my husband was playing we decided to go all out and get lower bowl seats. To our luck we found a pretty good deal on Row 10, just up from the Jazz bench. Little did we know what a game it would be. Sadly, we lost although Kyle played a good game. But the bigger story of the night was it ended up being Jerry Sloans last game. The next day he resigned. I'm sure knowing that people would have paid triple for the tickets. Whatever the reason, I'm very sad to see him go but he was a great coach and I'll miss seeing him. Of course I got some pictures at the game.

This is our view.

I was able to zoom in to get a picture of my favorite player, even if he's now in a Bulls uniform.

I think this one's my favorite, before the second half they did warm ups on the basket we were closest to. He was literally feet away I think I was drooling a little.

Anyway, it was an awesome night. Now only if the Jazz could get out of this funk they seem to have gotten themselves into...

My weekend

Another week has come and gone. It's funny now that I don't have semesters to break up my year it seems to go by pretty fast and there's very little difference to whether it's February or September except maybe the temperature. I decided to do a post on what did KayCee do this weekend.

Saturday:

7:15-I'm not sure if I'll ever know why but my body always automatically wakes up at this time. And I always have to get out of bed to use the bathroom, brush my teeth and take daily medicine. If it's a work day usually I'll just be up and get ready sometimes I get back in bed. Since today wasn't I got back in bed.

8:45-I never fully fell back to sleep, but it was still nice to relax. I got up and tried out the new Zumba video I bought. Around 9 Sam came out of her room, I'm sure I looked pretty ridiculous but after a minute she tried to.

9:15-After my extremely exhausting, haha, 30 minutes we decided we deserved breakfast, so it was off to BK we went.

9:30-Didn't have the best of experience there, but came home to a meal I didn't even order...

Sadly the rest of the day's time kind of was a blur. I remember I went to Walmart for grocery shopping, back home and cleaned the house, met Lidia up at Spoons and Spice to buy a rolling pin (I've been using a glass to roll my cookies...) went back to Walmart because I forgot three things. I was not happy that place was a zoo. Back home, Sam and I had a late lunch then she went off on her date and I went to a friends house to help her decorate sugar cookies. Came home and made a banana cream pie and got the sugar cookie dough mixed to make them today. And finally went to bed :)

Sunday:

7:15 Again same routine and this time was completely able to fall back asleep

10:00 Woke up and couldn't believe I slept that long then got ready for church

11:00 Went to church, then came home and started preparations for baking the cookies.

I finished those, then went to JJ's house for dinner, came home cleaned some last things up now I'm here. Have you ever tried to type out your day? I forget what times I did what. Anyway, that was my adventurous weekend, what did you do?

Random thoughts

I'm not really sure what to write honestly, kind of sad I know. I just felt like typing what came to mind and seeing where the post went. I'm going to the Jazz vs. Bulls game on Wednesday, we have row 10 tickets and I couldn't be more excited. I also applied for a mortgage loan on Friday. It's been an on/off thought for awhile now. I decided to just apply to see if I'd even qualify, we will see what pans out from it. I made Valentines/heart cookies this weekend. I wonder why my weight loss doesn't work out, then I look at the kitchen and see. My foot still isn't better, I really should have it looked at again but that's prevented me from running and seriously set me back with things. I've decided for the time being to give up on boys. Remember those toys as kids where it was a block with shapes cut out and you had little wood shapes where you were supposed to fit them in the holes cut out? Basically matching the shapes... Well I feel like I'm trying to fit the square shape into the circle cutout. It's just not working and not worth trying over and over when it's pointless. Because of a few instances I think I'm giving up. I know, I know as soon as I say that something will come along. And that's fine, I'm not saying I'm boycotting it, just not going to try forcing something that just isn't there. I really want a vacation. Yes, I did just go to Vegas/St. George, but it was a last minute and rushed thing. I want a true vacation, no I need a vacation. Well, I'll leave you this Sunday evening with those thoughts.
