IMMA BEAST

To tired to type more. Need Sleep. Working out every morning is catching up to me.  Goodnight Moon.

Adventure Seeker

I want to explore and constantly be active my whole life.  Over this weekend I went hiking, whitewater rafting, attended a Garlic Festival and visited 2 towns.  I  wish I had more time to spend hiking and biking.

I also want to Geocache I saw it in this Indie movie "Splinterheads" and now for a year and half all I wanted to do was geocache.  The thing is I need to buy a portable handheld GPS which is like $300.  I can never convince myself to buy it because I'm afraid I will only go geocaching once and be over it.

Ya know what, I need to make a list of everything I want to do and things I want to do Monthly.  The problem is I can convince myself out of almost anything but if I sign myself up there is no going back I have to do it.  Maybe if I make a contract with myself it will keep me dedicated.

Action 1. make a list

hmm. . . I'm not sure I will have to read a blog on "HOW TO FOLLOW THROUGH WITH ALL YOUR TASKS AND STOP SNEAKING OUT OF THEM - YOU ARE ONLY CHEATING YOURSELF"

Back to reality

I had such a nice vacation but now it's time to get focused on life.  I have put together a mint.com account and synced it with my bank.  Let me tell you I was extremely shocked! I could not believe my poor spending habits.  I realized I need to cut back immediately if I eventually want to move out.

I set a budget of $300 a month which is almost nothing in NY! but if I save now it will benefit me more in the long run.  I am now on the poor girl diet.  Meaning I can't get awesome food because it's too damn expensive!

I shall bring my breakfast and lunch to work and cry while I eat it.  I want to live the good life ;) JK I already live the good life. I really have no reason to complain at least I can afford meals and I am able to save up.  Most people don't even get these options.

So today begins my first day of not splurging.  whew this will be hard but I  know soon I will forget the ways of splurging and fall perfectly into my conservative spending.

I will keep my eyes out for free food offers and clothes.  I will SAVE my MONEY!


Budget-ly yours,
Britt

Camping for the half-asser's

(hope you like the title, my boyfriend thinks it's golden - he came up with it)

Okay so our cabin is like a small house! It's perfect for the two of us. We unpacked last night and it definitely feels like a little home now. We been eating out because the nearest restaurant is like 10 min away and really cheap. It just doesn't pay to buy and cook food for just us two.

Today we slept a lot and took it easy, something I haven't done in over a year! It was a nice break, but my fuel band was so low on points. So I told my boyfriend we better do some activities!

We hopped in the car and started on our journey. First we went to the garlic festival which was not that exciting. We did try chocolate covered garlic and let me tell you right now- do not in any circumstance eat that willingly. My boyfriend hated it! I was like its not that good and I will never have it again. But even an hour later my boyfriend was cringing at the thought of it.

We then took an hour drive to the Northern Delaware gap. We went for a small hike (very small - I was highly disappointed that it wasn't longer! I had my hiking boots on and everything!)

After that we went to the town of Stroudberg and got a nice dinner at a very irish restaurant. Food was delicious and I also got to take a walk around the town to get up my fuel points up.

And now we are back at the cabin about to watch the first of the Bourne series, since my boyfriend was appalled I have never watched any of them.

Below are some pictures of the Delaware water gap.




I shall update more tomorrow after our white water rafting trip.
