Saying Goodbye 2021

As we are in the last few minutes of 2021, I want to encourage you all not to hold on to this year's negatively while walking in to 2022.

This is a lesson that is easier said than done but I know that you can do it.

Cash stuffing update: December 2021 and January to March Goals

I am currently on my second time around with this. The beach savings was successful and so this past five paychecks have been saving for a few items.

Christmas and Black Friday: This one had a big chance of savings so that way I could finished my Christmas shopping on Black Friday. I did manage to finish most of my Christmas shopping on Black Friday since I only had my mom left. I only had four paychecks to save enough money for this.

Birthday and Birthday Casino: This one had five paychecks to save for my birthday and the Casino since I knew that I did not want to take out any money out of my account the day that we go.

Bath and body works: This one also had five paychecks to save for this. We did not end up going since we ended up with snow.

Car Maintance: We ended up saving what we need for this one.

2021 year recap

This year has been a mixed year for me and my family. 

We didn't have that many bad moments. 

But we didn't have many good moments earlier. It comes with someone having bi-polar and not being medicine for it. 

New Years Eve

 Today marks the final day of 2021. I can't believe that it's already to say goodbye to 2021. 

Day in the life: December 25, 2021

 Note: I decided to not post this yesterday because it was my birthday but today's fair game. I don't want to carry this post into the new year.

This morning, we woke up to a lot more snow, so my grandma decided to not come up for Christmas.

Noon came around and my dad's mom still had not check in to say if she was coming or not. Long story short, she did not come and my dad was in a bad mood.

We opened Christmas presents and then watched movies as the snow kept falling.

First day as a 32 year old

 Today's my birthday and that means that I am officially 32 years old.

You might notice that the blog title has change to Life as a 32 year old. 

Birthday post

 Today marks my birthday.

2022 planner

I had been looking for a new planner for 2022. I did not like the planners that they had in stores for the Happy Planner.

So I decided to go with the EC planner for 2022. 

Day in the life: December 24, 2021

 This morning was a very early wake up call because we had so much to do before family gets here tomorrow. We knew that my aunt and my uncle were not coming down for Christmas because of what happened a few days before but we still had to prepare for my dad's mom and grandma.

When my dad got home, we made dinner and then just watched movies and played games.

We all went to bed early since we knew that tomorrow will be a long day.

Last day as Life as a 31 year old

 Today marks the last day of Life as a 31-year-old. Tomorrow the blog title will change to Life as a 32 year old and I am excited for it.

Day in the life: December 23, 2021

 This morning, we got up and I got ready for work. I went to Dutch Bros first and then headed to work.

I ended up getting off work early and then headed to go to the gas station and do some last minute I items because I knew that we would get some snow and would not want to drive home.

I got home and just relaxed for the rest of the night.

Going back to the Grotto

I am thinking about making this a goal for 2022 Christmas season to return to the Grotto for the first time in years.

I also want to go to the Zoo lights

Upstairs Christmas Tree

A few weeks ago, I was finally able to put up the upstairs Christmas tree but didn't know if I wanted to use the White lights or the muliti color lights.

I made it a point to start decorating it just a day later so that way it would not look weird for Christmas. 

I got most of it put on the tree just a few days before Christmas.

Christmas Eve came, and I finally finished the upstairs and I know that I am going to have to take it all down in the next few days, but I don't want to.

Three days of Snow

 Since Christmas Eve, we have gotten snow and we are expecting at least three more days.

Snow on December 18 to 19

 Right before our Christmas party, it had snowed. The good thing on December 19th, it had melted away.

Day in the life: December 19, 2021

 This morning, I woke up at 4am and then went back to sleep for a few more hours. It had snowed all night long. 

We had a Christmas party around 3pm so that morning, we just relaxed and enjoyed some time together. 

We got to the family Christmas party and were surprised to see my cousin there because we thought that it would only be my aunt, my parents, my sister and her family, Grandma and myself.

After the Christmas party, we went to the Christmas lights on Franklin Street before heading home.

January 2022 goals and posts

 My goal and posts will remain the same for the new year and month

Franklin Street Christmas Lights

 On December 19th, we had our family Christmas party and then my mom and I went to the Franklin Street. She seems to like the Christmas lights more than the Halloween lights.

Drama on Christmas

 Today might be Christmas but there was a lot of drama with my dad's mom. I am not here to expose her but she needs to learn how she treats and lash out on people is not okay.

You treat people like they are below you and that's wrong. You are in the wrong and need to work on that. I get that your mom treated you this way, but this is not okay.

The emotional abuse that you have dealt out on many of our family members is not okay 

Christmas 2021

 Merry Christmas Everyone

Christmas Eve

 I can't believe that today is Christmas Eve. We were supposed to start getting snow last night but did not start until this morning.

2022 Planners

 I ended up ordering two planners! one being from EC which if you know that I used to have them about two years ago.

I love the simple design on this planner. I can't wait to start using it in January 2022. It came in today and was able to film it for my Youtube channel. The second planner that I ended up ordering is the Harry Potter planner. It comes in on Monday so I can't wait to set it up.
