Its finally Friday

Being Cheap SUCKS!!!!

There's a show on TLC about being cheap and the only episode that I watched gave me nightmares! OK not really but I have no intentions of ever using reusable toilet paper. EVER!! I'm not going to eat goat heads for dinner no matter how much change I did out of the couch. If you haven't seen it you need to at least watch one episode it will make your life feel so much better.

Since watching that show, my husband doesn't look so bad but after trying to buy that house we have decided to do some cutting back ourselves. I had signed on to only one month but have decided to try to maintain the lifestyle of ...poordom. We are avoiding eating out at all costs (unless someone else is paying;) and have cut down our shopping expenses to the necessities. It is so hard on the weekends. Anything that I want to do out of the house leads to spending money. So we stay home and Adam entertains himself in the garage but I am left in the house with two choices: clean or watch Netflix all day long. I try to do a little of both but after a month of this I am ready to see a Target. I haven't had Chipolte since the beginning of December and I feel like I am going to have a break down soon. Maybe not a break down but anyone reading this I hope you know its BAD. I want to buy some fingernail polish.

I know its for the greater good and by doing this we will hopefully get my student loans paid off and buy ourselves a house we will be proud of. But right now, the light at the end of the tunnel seems very dim and I am not ready to spend another weekend waiting to come back to work just to not be at home. Nobody wants to look forward to work that much. Nobody.

So if anyone out there is pinching pennies and feeling the hurt I just want to let you know that I feel your pain. We will get through this!

I hope everyone has a chance to enjoy family or friends this weekend!
