okay, so i didn't want to say anything a while ago, because i didn't want to jinx it and also i have bad luck with men, but i think i found the one. Ricky. I've been dating him for about three months and neither of us are getting tired of each other. I'm in love with him. we have a similar sense of humor, we never get bored of talking to each other, he's not conceded or sexist, he can cook,(awesome sex), and we have perfect chemistry. The best part is that he is not a republican and/or redneck!!!!! i told him i loved him and surprisingly enough he said that he loved me back! he's so freaking charming! I'm just waiting for him to realize he could do better. until then i'm gonna soak it up. he wants me to move in with him in a month after he saves up a little bit. He just got a promotion. I also got a new better job that has benefits and stuff so i'm gonna be paid considerably more then i was at old navy so, i can take care of myself.
i'm just so freakin happy, i just don't want to scare him off. i'm soo nervous i'm gonna mess it up with my stupid habits >_<

how not to waste money
Keep in mind, as you read, I'm not an expert. These are just my ideas and suggestions.
1. My favorite waste of money is water bottles. firstly I'm assuming if you have money to buy those expensive bottles daily/weakly then you also have money your spending on a water bill. So if you are already paying for water why would you spend that money to buy more water? i walked into my moms apartment today and found that she had two cases of 20 bottles of water. On her kitchen counter she also had at least seven empty bottles she was planning on refilling. She also had about ten more empty bottles in her little recycle bin thingy. Honestly people, the better alternative, if you didn't get it by now from those Britta water commercials, is those reusable plastic bottles that cost you a tiny bit more that will last you a lot longer. The EVEN alternative to that is the amazing stainless steal water bottle. You should read my entire rant on how it is better. The stainless steal may be more expensive then the reusable plastic ones but they will last you a lot longer, insulate better, and are safer for you. If you leave it in the car little bits of plastic won't melt off. If you wash it it won't warp in the dish washer. You can get them easy. Amazon.com has them. Sporting good stores have them. Heck, I found a Hello Kitty one in a Hello Kitty store. (not that i shop there. My friend wanted to go in.)
2. Things that come in aluminum cans. Energy drinks. Sodas. They are bad for you. Completely unnecessary. I swear Energy drinks are going to be considered a bad drug and they will become like cigarettes where you have to be 18 or older to purchase them. Energy drinks are also unbelievably expensive. Ouch. Why? If I'm gonna spend that much i would rather buy pomegranate juice. I don't have much to say about soda except they are just full of unnecessary sugar and artificial flavoring. Oh jeeze...imagine how bad for you those Mountain Dew Energy drinks are for you! GASP!
3. Unnecessary plastic. plastics that contain food that have meals pre made for us. EW. Deserts that come in plastic. Come to think of it. Thats mostly it. Believe it or not I've found it cheaper to buy the individual ingredients and to make it myself. (the only exception is meat but then again i don't eat meat unless it's fish. I just eat tofu and thats a lot cheaper.)
Every one has a billion cook books they never use so why not crack one open, blow off the dust and make something yourself. you can start weening yourself into home made stuff with mixes and slowly work your way up.
Okay I'm done with my save money rant.
