I just bought the tickets for Disneyland for me and my boyfriend. We are going on November 6th – November 10th! I am so excited. All that is left to do is save a little more money for food and fun while we’re there. I already have 600 and between my boyfriend and I, we will need at least another 400. I just want to have as much fun as I can without having to worry about pinching pennies. I also have to rent a car, because my car is not reliable and Josh’s car is a 1972 Monte Carlo. Haha.

How I did it: When I was in Disneyland, my boyfriend and I made it a point to try out restaurants that we have never been to. While we were there we ate at restaurants featured on Downtown Disney. These included: Catals (I would rate it a 9), the Rainforest Cafe (4) and La Brea (7). We also tried out two restaurants inside of Disneyland, one which was horrible, microwaved style food, and one which was really great, hearty and filling. I don't reme… Read how I did it…
How I did it: When I decided that I wanted to go to Disneyland, I did some research on the best deals possible. Finally, I decided that Disneyland.com had the best packages and so I started to save. In order to save for a nice vacation, you have to cut your spending down by a lot. Believe me, it's worth it! I saved $815.00 and paid for the tickets and the hotel in advance at Disneyland.com. I got my reservations two months in advance. You wan… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I just stopped thinking about it. I use to get so worked up about having sex. I use to worry about things like what I looked like. I have a boyfriend, and I know he thinks I am beautiful, but I still get worried that one day he will think I am disgusting or not as pretty as other girls he may run into in his everyday life. When I stopped thinking negatively and remembered why he's with me and that he does think I'm beautiful, then I start… Read how I did it…

I’m really close to having the money I need to buy tickets for November. I’m going for my birthday and I am soooo stoked!
Since I don’t have any insurance, I can’t go to the dentist. However, there is one place in Santa Cruz called Dientes that allows those with a low income and no insurance to get dental work done. It’s still pretty expensive and I hate it there. But I guess it’s better than nothing. I must get an appointment.
