What A beautiful Day ^_^....Since its such a gorgeous day where I am (95 degrees and kickin'!) all I want to do is go out and enjoy it, but with the way prices are five star dining, a wine tasting, and a night at the opera aren't always on the itinerary. You'd be surprised at the amount of things you yourself, or you and a friend/significant other can do on a budget that's as tight as skinny jeans in 2012. Ladies, leave your 'suck it in dress' and toe pinchers at home tonight and gentlemen prepare to impress your girlfriend or guy friends with these thoughtful yet fun outings... One mans trash-There's something for everyone and plenty of things you never knew existed at your local flea market — you might even discover your friend has a hobby or weird collection you didn't know about! Words with friends-Attend a poetry or book reading together. Most of these events are free, and you'll learn something new to discuss over coffee later.

He will never leave you or forsake you....

Deuteronomy 31:6 Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the LORD your God who goes with you. He will never leave you or forsake you.” Isaiah 41:10 fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.     Zephaniah 3:17  The LORD your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing. 1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

I apologize in advance lol

She Repaied her Student Loans While Still in College!!

Image
This is Awesome...As I was reading through the personal finance section of YahooNews I came across a college graduates simple plan to pay off all of her college loans the very same day she graduated college and she actually Did It! In a country where the student loan debt has passed the $1 trillion mark (according to forbes.com) I thought that this would be very encouraging to some readers... I Repaid My Student Loans While Still in College!!  The first two years of my college experience was spent at a community college . My tuition was covered, but I took out a loan for $20,000 to cover living expenses. Upon transferring to a costly four-year university I received a hefty scholarship, which covered most of my expenses. Still, my loans were at $11,500 per year. The day of my graduation, I received the coveted diploma and a not-so-coveted array of bills for my student loans . However, the difference between other students and myself was the large sum of money l

White Ink Tattoos...

Image
Wow, this is really cool....  White ink tattoos do not follow the usual tattoo process of stenciling and outlining in black. Instead, the tattoo itself is completely done with white ink, leaving a ghostly image that looks quite different from a traditional tattoo. These tattoos can look like brands (or scarification), or they can appear to be very subtle. This can be a good alternative for someone who wants a tattoo but can't have obvious body art in their work environment. The white ink used for tattoos is not the same ink you might have seen used for mixing shades in a color tat. Instead, it is a thicker, high quality white ink that is specially made to stand out on its own.     However! As I've researched these neat tattoos further there are some issues such as... Many people, especially those with darker skin tones, cannot absorb enough of the white ink for it to appear brightly on their skin. Some individuals may also find they have a reaction to the whi

Just one of them days...

Hey Hey lovelies :) So that smile was definitely fake because I really....and I mean REALLY don't feel like going to work today ewww...ever have one of those days? I can't wait to finish school and do something I actually look forward to doing on a daily basis. But until then, I'm stuck in this tragically mundane hourly nightmare....Yea, I know it sounds bad, and I know I'm being ungrateful. I thank God every day for my job and allowing me to be able to support myself. However, sometimes I just get the 'I wanna stay in bed blues'...Now, since I know that I'm not the only one who feels that way, my inquisitive self searched far and wide for some of the most interesting, hilarious, and sure-fire Call out of Work excuses ever! And heeerrreee they are.... Nobody questions diarrhea and nobody wants any more details. they just want to get off the phone with you ASAP in case you have to run to the toilet again. diarrhea - the ultimate excuse for everything!-um

Great Reads, Great Eats; Great Day, Lets Eat!

 Hello All!! Hope your day has been going well so far! I know mine has! And its all thanks to a random shuffle through my bookshelf. I absolutely adore a really good book, but I don't always have the money to buy one in a bookstore or online, which is why I was elated to find out that a lot of libraries sell used books for really good prices. For instance, I purchased 3 paperback novels from the Lynchburg public library for $1.50! They were in great shape and had all the pages. I know, I know, when you feel like relaxing and reading a good book you don't really feel like getting dressed and going out, I feel the same. But not to fear, here are two great options for some great lazy day reading.  The first option is what I opened this post with in the first place...Go through your old books!! You'd be surprised how enjoyable a really good read is the second time through! This works great for me, personally, because if I think something really good is coming up, I'll kin
