Earn some...Spend some....Save some!!!

So I have been blog jumping which I find extremely fun and in my blog jumping I have been inspired! Every amazing blog has button. So I went out looking for how to make a button! I found it and I've got a button, I just don't know how to put it on my blog! If any of you know, would you care to tell me!? And that was just a part of my inspiration, I've also been inspired to post more than once a month! I'm going to try but I just can never figure out what to post about!

Today is going on almost a month that I haven't been to school, and as strange as it sounds, it's killing me! On New Year's day I was so excited, 5 months till I graduate then the snow storm of the century,as my friends call it, came through and I'm snowed in and who knows when we'll be able to make back to school. I really wanted to graduate as early as possible because I'm taking a class to get my CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant). And what's so great about getting my CNA is that I will be able to work starting out at $9 an hour and that is just at the nursing home. If I work at the hospital I can start out at $11 an hour. Which is really good for me because I have lots of things that I need to buy and most of them are big ticket items. I don't have a car and since I'm staying home for the first year of school I will defintely need a car because the closetest campus is in town which is 20 minutes from my house and sometimes you have to travel to the next city which is 30 minutes from home. And I talked to my sister and she is going to be getting a new car in July, and she told me that I could just buy hers from her. Which is good, great actually because I wanted to get a vehical that was 4 wheel drive so that I could still get around in the winter and I know that I couldn't get one in the price range that I want. And a major plus is that her truck (Ford Explorer) has a sunroof, and I've always wanted a sunroof!! Oh man that is so exciting!! And I will spend about $4,000 less on a vehical by getting hers which mean I can buy a laptop, stress-free, and I can I have money to put towards book for school. And of course do what I do best...SAVE!!!! My friends tell me all the time that I need to live a little because I don't spend very much money, for instance; instead of going to the movies, I will rent a movie from the red box ($1) and then buy popcorn(not microwave, air pop) and I make that and then have a movie night! I save about 5 dollars by doing that!! And when I save I am really happy!! But sometimes I just have spend a little!

Which brings me back to laptops, does anybody know of a really good laptop? I really wanted a Lennova. The kind you write on. I don't know what it's called but you can write your notes on it and it makes them into text.(touch screen) Any ideas on good laptops???

  1. Having a car is a very liberating thing, especially if you're still planning on living at home once you start college. It's nice to be able to come and leave when you want and not have to get permission from someone or have to wait around for someone to take you. I think you'll like it.

    Ummm, where do you live? I can't imagine not knowing when school would be open again because of snow storm.

    :0)

I'm told winters really aren't like this but this is year two here and it's still the same as last year!! I hate snow! I'm originally from Louisiana!! So I'm not used to this! And I can't wait to get a car!! :D

  4. Hey! I'm blog hopping today too. You're right, it is very fun! Love your blog!

    I didn't see your button in the side bar, so I thought I'd help you out. I just recently added mine and had trouble figuring it out as well.

    I tried to leave the details in the comment, but I can't leave HTML here. Haha. I'll message you!

    Love your blog! Can't wait to read more!
