Thoughts going through my head

Just when things could happen so perfect something else gets in your way that is more important that you have to tend to, so that 'most important' thing you were going to do has to be put on the back burner. oh Life.
Just when I get my taxes back knowing exactly what I was going to spend that money on, car problems/fix-its come up, and of course cost more than you thought and they take up your tax return, therefore other things have to wait. oh joy. life gets in your way sometimes.

And just when you get things organized things decide to crash; yep my computer crashed. So now I get to decide if I want to get a new laptop, Ipad, or kindle/nook. What would you get? again tax return gets to go towards that too. oh boy oh boy. so now sadly there is no money left for that one thing I was going to treat myself with; my very own bike! :(

Lately it seems like every fireside, RS meeting, or other large gathering I have been to has had a theme. It's been a good theme. But it's also been a thought pondering theme. I hope I can take those lessons and apply them to my life this year. So it makes me wonder if this conference might have that same theme. or maybe its just a theme for me. feeling a little uneasy about listening to it, not sure I'm ready to hear it. but, like always, its what you/we/I need to hear.

The joys of mascara

A few years back I kept getting puffy eyes about once a week or so. Then it became more common. So I finally went in to see a family friend doctor and he gave me some eye drops to try. They worked wonders for those ten days! Then about a week or so later, the puffy eyes came back. I would just keep my eyes washed and cleaned and they would stay down for the most part. Well, I just could take it one day and I kept rubbing my eyes because it was SO bad! I went back to see this family friend doctor and he gave me different eyes drops. same story. Well we finally figured out, after talking through the order of events etc., that is was my mascara! I am allergic to mascara!! (well not exactly mascara it's self, just an ingredient in mascara. don't ask me what it's called because I don't remember. I just know the mascaras I can't use.) So I sadly had to change the mascara I used (I loved the mascara I used). The next day I went to the store and bought a brand new mascara. Didn't like it. Tried a different one. It took me about a year to find THE mascara that wouldn't irritate my eyes. But I seem to have run into that same problem lately. uh oh. now what am I going to do? A girl clearly can not go with out mascara! We shall see how things work out. my eyes are puffy right now and very irritating and itchy and dry. I better tend to those so I can go to work tomorrow. Hopefully a new day will be better. If not...to the trash goes my mascara!

thoughts....

I think it might be time to start Pintrest...as much as I don't like being with the fads and such I think I need to break down so I can keep track of all my ideas and add new ideas to my ideas; if that makes any sense. But the thing is I will want to do a lot of the things I see so I will have to start saving money like no other so I can afford my new 'addiction', if you can call it that.

Going along with money and such,....I have about four trips I want to go on this year and I'm not quite sure how I'm going to do it. I really need to work for the airlines! Everyone keeps telling me that, and I keep telling myself that, but I love what I do too much to step away from it just to get a free flight whenever and wherever I want....mom, want to work for the airlines???? haha. Ok, ok, maybe I'll figure out a way to do both things; the thing I love and the thing I am totally addicted to, TRAVELING! Any suggestions on how to do and go on all these trips I want and need to do?? Maybe I'll be looking for a job at the airport soon. :)

money. money. money.

Well Feb 14......car won't start. One week later I finally got it into the shop. The next day they tell me my fuel pump went out. And that my choices are to wait a week to order the part and get it fixed or over night the part for an extra $60 and have my car in two days. Joy.
So I called three people to see what I should do. Two days later I had my car and an empty savings account. Where is my money tree?!
Now that I have that done with and no money, why don't I go ahead and pay off all my other debts; tires, medical bill, this bill, that bill. Perfect. Now I'm really broke, now what?
Well I feel a little better now that I'm pretty caught up on my bills and debts, But SO SICK to my stomach that I had to drop ALL my money in a week's time.
Just glad I have a job and that I can slowly earn it back; but still!!
