Show Me The Money!!!

I've been working a lot of overtime at my job lately. We are trying to get caught up on work because we (meaning my department) are behind on monitoring the reps calls. For the past few weeks I've been working 9-10 extra hours per week. This weekend (for the first time) I worked 8am-8pm Saturday and Sunday (from home of course) and plan on doing it again this coming weekend. My goal is to work 53 hours overtime for this pay period. I know, I know you're thinking...who in the h--- would work 8am-8pm especially on the weekend? I would. That's right I said it.

Actually, I have reasons for working so many hours.

1. I'm trying to save money to move out of state next year
2. I have a few upcoming trips I will be taking...which includes going to the Bahamas
3. I have a few upcoming events to go to in the Orlando area (Katt Williams comedy tour, etc.)
4. And, I just LOVE MONEY


Now, I'm not sure how long the overtime will last but I will "work it" until the wheels fall off. I know that was corny...DON'T JUDGE ME! Just Show Me The Money!!!

Weekend Highlights

I had a pretty good Easter weekend. I just watched t.v. all day because I was off from work on Friday. I also ordered food from Red Lobster (my favorite restaurant) and eat like a pig. I heart seafood. Have you ever had the Admiral's Feast from RL? It is sooo delicious!!! Its the only dish I order from them.  Hmm Hmm Good.

Saturday my daughter and I got our hair done. She wanted the hairstyle by Jackie Laura from Monster High. Basically, she got her hair braided into a bun on the side. She looks so cute. That's my baby. I just got my hair flat ironed but it looks a mess now since I've slept on it the last 2 nights.

Sunday I was supposed to go to church but didn't. My boyfriend was late coming to my house which made me late heading to church. I didn't want to be disrespectful and walk through the church doors with everyone looking at me because we wouldn't been on time. So, I just decided to cook an excellent dinner and let my daughter go Easter egg hunting. I cooked greens, baked beans, ribs, potato salad and to top it off----NOT YO MAMA's BANANA PUDDING. OMG sooo good!!!

Bahamas Trip 2014

My sister Letitia and her friend came up with this idea to book a Bahamas Cruise for my father's 80th birthday from July 12th-14th which leaves out of West Palm Beach. I thought this was a great idea because we only paid $33 for a 3 day 2 night cruise but we've encountered all these problems with the cruise line since booking the trip. Let me start by telling you that my sister originally told me that the port fees were going to be $65. Then, once she called the cruise line they informed her the port fees were $118 for two people ($59 per person in 1 room). After finding this out, I asked my boyfriend if he wanted to go (no I didn't initially invite him). Last Thursday I paid our portion of the port fees.

Keep in mind-we have 12 people in our party. So, while paying the port fees over the phone I was told by one of the agents that we have "bunk beds" as our accommodations (really!!!!), my boarding time is 12pm-3pm, I would get my tickets in the mail 3 weeks prior to my sail date, fuel charges are $24 for the 2 days, and the parking is $30 for the 2 days. When I spoke with my sister she told me something totally different. They told her the boarding time is from 12pm-4pm, fuel charges are $96, the parking is $50, and we had to pick up our tickets in Fort Lauderdale the same day we leave out.

I'm really debating if I want to even take this trip now. It sounds like a headache and a half. I really hope its even worth going or somebody is going to be paying me ALL my money back. I'm not even playing.

Funk Fest 2014

So this past weekend my friends and I went to Funk Fest in Orlando at the Fair Grounds and let me tell you...it was sooo LAME! This was my first time going and from what I heard it was supposed to be good. But that definitely was not the case.

#1-We had to pay $10 to park...where they do that at?

#2-We got there late (6pm)...so we missed Guy and Tank's performance thanks to my friend KeKe

#3-Since we were late we had to sit all the way in the back and could barely hear the performers because the speakers were WACK

#4-My friend Charleen and I stood in line for a $13 drink an hour and a half...it was very unorganized...keep in mind-I had high heels on (I thought I was cute..lol)

#5-The food sucked and let me tell you I love me some seafood and the fact that I threw away food was a problem for me...It was $12 per plate so you know I was sooo mad

#6-No good looking men were out there to flirt with

Chile, I could go on forever. But even though the event was not what I expected, I still enjoyed being out the house with my girls. But you won't catch me there next year. Absolutely NOT!!!

40 plus dollars gone down the drain!!!
