My Random Blogging Therapy
Everyone I talked to at work said was being ridiculous about my skin tags. It didn't stop me from calling and complaining. The cosmetologist Tracey helped me cover them up with make-up and she gave me some stuff to hide my tags BUUUT by later today much of it had worn off so I'm not going to bother.
I told Alyssa it didn't cost $300 and that I took my test yesterday. When I told her it was $152 she said at least it's doable. She wanted to know if I passed which led me to believe she didn't so I told her I did but I didn't ask if she did. She can take it again. I told her it wasn't hard but probably because I studied. She asked me if I picked my broker but I didn't and she said she hadn't either.
I hope she doesn't get discouraged and not take it. I first thought she had sinister motives but now I think she was trying to downplay it because she didn't pass her test.
Sharla bought the office pizza and I have been craving it for a long time. The library is on the second floor where the freezer is. When I was on vacation the office had an ice-cream cake to celebrate Afu's birthday. Sooo for the first time since I've been diagnosed I ate 3 pieces of pizza and 2 slices of chocolate ice-cream cake. I figured it would be alright for NewYears Eve and I've returned to eating better already.
One thing I learned is prospective buyers should have no more than 28% of their gross income used for a mortgage payment. I am well below that with my rent. The rest of your bills together with your mortgage payment should not be over 36% of your gross income. I decreased my flex-spending account to 1500 a year. I only took out 2500 because I thought I'd need more for invisalign. My aligners are working really well now that he FINALLY listened to me. This year in addition to my diabetes meds which I hope to eliminate asap I'm getting chemical peels and facials maybe every other month. While my sunscreen obsession has served my skin well, my skin is beginning to look dehydrated. This lady has amazing skin although I know enough about skincare that I don't appreciate her hardcore sales attempts. I used to sell Clarins skincare AND makeup to people who thought nothing of dropping lots of money on make-up and skin-care. I did a lot of research on cosmetics so I could sell them better BUUUT what I learned is that more expensive make-up companies often use the exact same product as many cheaper lines. The packaging is the only thing that's different. Many companies are owned by the same corporate owner.
Before just Loreal and Lancome were the same and Clinique was owned by Estee Lauder, now Estee Lauder owns EVERYONE including MAC my once favorite line. Now I use fake Cetaphil for my face and Lubriderm with sunscreen after cleansing.
2013 has been great. I finished my MBA at the end of March and attended all those real estate classes from the end of August until earlier this month. I met my goal of taking my real estate test before the year ended. I looove that! While I didn't meet my goal of making $50,000 a year I finally figured out what to do part time. I looove this real estate thing even if I haven't actually begun. My new goal is to close on at least 12 real property transactions.
