I'm In Love...

So for the past 6 months I've been working my little tushy off to make some mulah at the end of the year & it paid off. When my boss emailed me telling me the amount of my bonus, I actually started crying in the middle of my store...I couldn't believe it. The money was burning a hole in my pocket before it even hit my bank account!

My husband is definitely the smarter one in our relationship when it comes to money...I love spending & he loves saving! I've gotten better at the saving part but the holidays made me want to shop not only for my loved ones but also for myself. I did buy myself a few clothes during the holiday season & I made myself feel better about it since every piece was on sale! You can't walk out of the store knowing there's a bargain. A friend once told me that if you leave a store & you're still thinking about an item you liked then it becomes a NEED not a WANT. I live by this motto now...thanks Caroline!

On Sunday, we decided to take my Mac to the Apple store in Macon to see what was wrong with it since we haven't been able to turn it on since April. The sales person told me exactly what I didn't want to hear...you're computer has crashed & it'll cost as much as it would to buy a new computer to fix it...ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?! So...it took me 24 hours to convince my hubby that we needed that beautiful new 21.5" iMac & guess what...he let us BUY IT!!!

We got it home last night & we're both obsessed! This computer is seriously cool & I'm hoping it will inspire me to blog more often...especially since we moved away from all of my besties!

Stay tuned for more from the Ricks casa!
