Don't count your eggs...

I have been gone for a couple days due to complete laziness.

Last Friday, I woke up extra early so I could get into work early...so I could leave early. Wanna know what happened! Well, my car wouldn't start. Nope. Not at all. A little back story on this situation. Now, approximately 3 weeks ago, my car wouldn't start. Now, having had a lemon once before, I know a lil bit about cars. I KNEW it was not my battery. But my uncle swore to heaven and high earth that it was indeed my battery. So I paid $60 bucks for a new battery which assisted in my transport for the 3 weeks following that incident. Now, If I had listened to my gut instincts and had the starter checked, I would have saved myself $60 and the inconvenience of having to snag a ride to work.

Now let's discuss expenses. I had to have my car towed ($58). I had to have my starter replaced ($160). Now, I will admit, that is not a lot of money (well, I guess that's relative), but it is a thorn in the butt when you have a tight budget and have every last penny of your money is accounted for!! Yep, that $218 was due to go into my ING account. Actually, I had a surplus of money from my last check and that surplus was going directly into my ING account.

But when it's all said and done, I had my finances in order to afford the unexpected exspenses that ocurred. That is a good feeling y'all!!
