Cooking sucks!!!!

Let me clarify, it's the shopping that gets me. Is it really necessary to ram our way through the aisle and not say "excuse me" or "sorry" when we cut the corner from green beans to tortillas? I mean really, that is why I choose to shop at midnight-thirty when I get off work. Only then do I have to battle with the aisle full of pallets. I guess it's lose-lose for ol' Flo.

Beyond the shopping experience comes dishes. I hate unloading the dishwasher and cooking just fills the sink up with dirty dishes, making it impossible to leave the dishwasher full of clean dishes for one more day. Same goes for laundry. I will touch all the dirty laundry you want, but please, please, please, don't make me take it out of the dryer and fold it or hang it up or put it away. I hate that part!

I'd just like to say that occassionally I succeed at shopping, cooking and doing the dishes and the outcome is homemade chili and quinoa salad. Hope you all have a fabulous Wednesday.

Love,
    Flo

Budgeting sucks

I don't know how many times I have written down a budget and not followed it.  I finally figured out that I need to also add my goals. Duh !  Sometimes I wonder how I get through every day with this tiny brain of mine.  I love it when the financial guru's tell you to spend less than you earn.  Seriously ?! Like it's that easy.  Someone who is good with money just needs to take it away from me and give me an allowance.  I am telling you, it would work. I would really hate them, but it would work.

Cheers, Madge

Cheap and nervous

I am cheap. Really, really cheap.  My free Craigslist refrigerator just got three dollars worth of bungee cord upgrades and I really wish it could have been a cheaper fix. I know, cheap, right ?

 I am sitting here thinking about how my life is fairly satisfying, but it's missing something.  I need more control over my income.  Unless I start a business, that won't happen. I have an idea, but where do I start? Do I have what it takes to begin ? I am nervous, but why ?  Have you started your own business ? Tell me about it.  I would love to hear your story.

Well, that's all I have for my first rambling post.  More tomorrow.

Cheers,  Madge
