Overspending......

That about sums it up. You guys, I have been soooo bad and am somewhat ashamed...Hence the lack in posts. Well, really the lack in posts stems from pure unadulterated laziness. But, I have been spending like crazy since last weekend. 'IT' started off with hair products. BUT, who could forgo KeraCare hair products for $0.88 cents??!! JCPenny had a sale where if you bought any conditioner or shampoo, you get a second for $0.88 cents. Who can refuse THAT??!! Well, I for one could not. I purchased my beloved staple KeraCare Humecto ($11.55) and a product from the Mizani line, Mizani Moisturefuse Conditioner ($11.96). I am going to use the Mizani conditioner this weekend and see how it works for me. Anywayz, this purchase totaled $13.48, including tax.

Okay here's a break down of the items I have purchased LAST WEEK and THIS WEEK COMBINED (those that I can remember<----- that's the sad part of it all).



Well yesterday I spent $100 on portraits...of my dog. I also spent $8.00 on a pair of cutting shears (for my hair).

Last week I spent:

• $15.00 on a white, button down collar shirt from Limited (On sale and I needed one).
• Two assorted color head bands from the GAP on sale for $2.99 each, for a total of $6.28. I have worn one of each everyday since the purchase. I am definitely getting my money's worth... any sympathy from you guys yet?
• I have been pigging out on fast food, mainly Chic-Fil-A and Ukrops ( a local grocer with great prepared food). This is where the bulk of my money has gone. I KNOW I have spent more than $50 on food alone!!! And I know I should not have been spending money eating out when I have food in my freezer... Hmmm I really need to get it together...

But on a brighter note:



I have oficially begun my home search!!! Yep, yep!! My sister/realtor and I viewed a total of 6 homes last weekend. I forgot to take along my digital camera to take pics of each home, but I will definitely do so this upcoming weekend. Well, here's the break down:

• Home #1 - was absolutely beautiful but totally out of my price range-----> $350K and this was AFTER the $100K price drop.
• Home #2 - was really nice but the neighborhood wasn't quite desirable
• Home #3 - has been on my radar for a few months, but after having my mom view the home, she stated the home smelled damp and she expected water damage. She also wasn't fond of the numerous cracks in the walls and ceilings. Possible foundation problems....my mom knows a lot about home searches and the process, so I will take her word for it
• Home #4 - was absolutely darling and I could envision Houston running around the back yard as I sat on the slated deck....But the kitchen was so small you could literally open the fridge door while washing dishes. Did I mention the fridge was on the opposite wall of the sink? It was really small and I need a comfortable sized kitchen.
• Home #5 - was cute...in it's unique way, but didn't really talk to me. a tri-level with a huge back yard, but I wasn't very impressed.
• The last home (Home #6) had an awkward floor plan and I didn't really like the space.
  

Needless to say, I will be spending this weekend continuing my home search. I will definitely remember to take my camera to share the homes I viewed.
