Wouldn’t it be sweet to not ever worry about money? Wouldn’t it be so refreshing to just have enough that you never really had to think about how to pay for the things you needed or wanted? It’s so easy to imagine it, but so hard to make it a reality. October has finally arrived and G and I are only 79 days away from our wedding day. It’s exciting, but scary at the same time. With the bad news this week about my music job plus the fact that I won’t get paid for the whole month I worked…

Yesterday was a rough day. Out of the blue, my job at the Music Academy is gone. The only reason I even got a job there or was looking for a job in the first place is because G and I are trying to raise extra money for our wedding. Some people think it’s ridiculous that we don’t take money out of savings to pay for it, but there’s something fun about working hard to make that money without taking out loans or anything. With my paycheck from September only days away from coming in, I was getting ready to…

Last night was only the second episode of the season, and Heroes was almost putting me to sleep. The whole Sylar toying around with lame Matt Parkman’s mind is already getting old to me. How come Matt is always so weak? He’s got one of the most amazing abilities, but he refuses to use it? His mind is his strength, but he’s incredibly weak when it comes to self-confidence and determination? It doesn’t really make sense to me. Sylar is winning way too easily. Claire jumping out of a window and being seen was interesting at the end of last…

With barely more than 80 days before our wedding, I have got to get serious about exercising or I am not going to fit into my wedding dress! Over the past few weeks since I bought the dress, I have only managed to lose about 4 pounds. And 4 pounds can be gained back awfully fast! In truth, to look the way I want to in my dress, I need to lose at least 20 pounds. Is that even possible in 80 days? It better be! I am hoping that with the cut-backs in my junk food eating, adding a…

The third and final reality TV show that my sister and I watch and bet on our favorites is The Amazing Race. Out of all of the reality shows out there, this is the one that I would most like to be on, but I have never actually applied. Maybe G and I will try to get on at some point? We’ll see. Maybe my sister and I should do it :P. Anyway, since I’ve already put our picks for The Biggest Loser and Survivor up there (and, might I say, all our picks are still in the competition at…

As we plan our trip to Vegas for our wedding (only 86 days to go till our wedding day!!), we are starting to look at the various shows that are available on and near the Strip. From the looks of it, Vegas has everything from cheesy magic shows to top dollar headliners like Cris Angel and the Blue Man Group. I think we are going to be in Vegas for six nights, which means we will have plenty of time to see a variety of shows. On our wedding night, we’re going to dinner and maybe just walking around the…
