I'm doing 43 things
I’ve just started the planning phase, and it seems like it’s hard to find a balance between beautiful and inexpensive. Being that me and my fiancé are paying for everything ourselves, I don’t see me being able to have a “dream” wedding. But hopefully it will be as close to a dream wedding as possible…. (I guess I should be happy as long as it isn’t a “nightmare” wedding hehe).

How I did it
It made me
warm and fuzzy 
How I did it: We went to look at the local shelters because we wanted to rescue a dog not buy one from a store. A friend of a friend was evicted and needed a good home for his dog. We met the dog, and took him in a few weeks later (we were moving to a new apartment so we couldn't take him in right away). Read how I did it…
It made me
stressed, but happy 
How I did it: I started out the semester with a planner and went through each syllabus to put in due dates of projects and test dates. I set deadlines for myself earlier than the actual ones, and although I did not always make my personal deadlines I always made the actual ones. Also, if you put more effort in at the start of the semester the professors take note and you can step back a little bit (I don't mean slack off!) during the rest o… Read how I did it…
It made me
see fish!
How I did it: My family went on vacation, and we went snorkeling! It was fun, and we took a lot of pictures with our underwater disposable cameras. I had a great time and saw some awesome looking fish. Next step, is scuba diving! Read how I did it…

when i first got my credit cards i charged it up to it’s max (which thank goodness wasn’t all that high). i am pleased to say that i paid it off in less than a year on my minimum wage, part-time student job. i cut back on some things to be able to do it… and it was mainly charges due to getting into a car accident… so i didn’t even get to enjoy what i spent my money on! actually i had to wait 3 months before i could get my car back… hmmm maybe not having a car actually helped me save money… no random trips to buy stuff. anywayyyy, i was so happy when i paid it down! good luck to you on your goal!
last summer i lived on my own when taking summer classes at school. i barely ever ate out and cooked food pretty much every day. i’m hoping this summer i can do the same when i go back up to school… but this time i’ll be working all summer… then during the school year i’m living off campus. i’m worried that i’ll be too busy or too tired to get myself to cook meals. i hope i can do it! i love cooking—and i always try to make healthier meals which taste even better cause i made them! =)
