What a day! I typed out half of this post earlier today about how nothing was going on and life was boring, etc… But then crazy-ness ensued! lol, well not really, but for as little as I have going on right now it was my version of crazyness. So it turns out that my financial aid was approved after all for school next year! Woohoo! I thought that I wasn’t going to be able to get anything at all and some money came through after all!!!! What a total relief to have school taken care of. Now I won’t have to worry continuously about money next year and I can focus on school. Now we won’t have to be stressed and Justin won’t have to get a second job (he’s been talking about it, but I won’t let him. His job is hard enough and he works such long hours as it is) and I won’t have to try to work and go to school full time at the same time. I can just focus on studying and getting kickass grades so that I can get into the internship of my choice and the master’s program that I want. Whew!
I’m soooo excited for school to get started that I feel giddy!

I had a fun little field trip yesterday- Sam Moon!! I had never been, but there’s been one in Fort Worth for like 2 yrs. It’s just purses/costume jewelry/kitschy type stuff, but I don’t really like to spend a ton on jewelry and the likes so it’s right up my alley.
Look at what I got!
A thingie to hang my purses on. They’re all shoved in a corner in the back of my closet and I honestly don’t even know how many or what I have!
Can you even believe I got this little lunchbox for $10.95?! These are almost $30 on the BUILT website! When I got home I was looking at it I realized that it was priced wrong, which is why it was only 10 bucks. The price tag said that it was a camera case. Oh well!
Clippies! I lose these things so fast it’s not even funny. It’s like they just disappear!
Fun earrings! And also that little pair of studs in the background- I needed some for every day wear.
Another clippie! This one has a little decoration on it- fancy!
Fancy elastic hair band thing. I forsee lots of poytails seeing that some days I will be getting up around 4 am to make it to a 8am class (stupid commutes in stupid rush hour traffic!)
That’s all, I found a couple of purses that I really wanted and they were extremely reasonably priced, BUT I decided that first I should take inventory of what I already have and see if I actually need another purse or not. I can always go back and get one, but their return policy isn’t that great- store credit only.

Today’s breakfast was fun! I’ve had this almost empty jar of Barney Butter for months but I didn’t want to throw it away because it seemed so wasteful (that stuff is like 10 bucks a jar!). I saw on a blog somewhere that someone had put their oats into the almost empty jar and the PB melted right in. Oh WOW was this a great idea!! AND I didn’t have to waste any Barney Butter!
In my oats…
- 1/4 cup oats
- 1/4 cup oat bran
- 1/2 banana
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1/2 cup agua
cuppa joe!
It was so filling, I couldn’t even finish it all!
Then I worked on paying bills. Blech! And my internet was so awesomely slow that it took like two hours to get it all done/checkbook balanced! Sheesh. After that I needed a nice long bath. After that I was feeling kinda lazy so I lounged around for a bit and watched some I Love Lucy re-runs.
Then it was lunch time! My version of a “cheeseburger” salad:
- organic spring mix
- radish
- tomato
- honey mustard
- Amy’s Texas Burger, chopped up on top
- sprinkle of sharp cheddar
SO GOOD!
Then the news about the financial aid came through so I had TONS of paperwork that I had to do. It took forever and I’ve pretty much just now finished.
So much for the day that I had planned. I was going to clean up and organize around the house today, but it didn’t really work out. Ah well. Now I don’t feel like cleaning. My tummy is weird so I’m going to have some peppermint tea and see if that helps. We shall see.
Later!
We finally got a little shower! 
We need more, though. It’s SOOOO dry! And yesterday it hit 102! The summer grass fires have started and I get a little nervous during this time of year because across the street from me are some woods and a train track. A few yrs ago there was a huge grass fire started RIGHT across the street from my house from some sparks from the train tracks. It was scary. I got home from work and there were fire trucks parked in my driveway. I was freaking out because I thought my house was on fire! Stuff is replaceable, I wasn’t that worried about my stuff – I was so worried about the cat and the dog. They are priceless and so much more important than a house and stuff. Luckily they caught it before it spread. Thank goodness for the wonderful fire department we have!
