I’m sooooooo behind on my posts. But I am glad to say I am on the right track with my tight budget. Around my birthday I treated myself with some Versace earrings (mini Medusa heads to be exact) when I got a promo code at YOOX. Score! Then I found a pair of Saint Laurent sunglasses at Amazon that I purchased using some points I had accumulated. I told myself I would stop with the indulgences since I really want to take another vacay.
But then out of nowhere, I went to two music festivals and then had to contribute to a bridal party for one of our friends. Everything was last minute, and I was getting frustrated that I wasn’t putting away money for what I REALLY wanted to do. Lol. I told myself after July 4th weekend I was going to take it easy.
Believe it or not, I’m slowly getting back on track. The good news is, here in Chicago, there are tons of things to do for FREE! Summer is amazing here and I take every opportunity to try to enjoy it. Back to my recap!
I managed to run my errands and do a light workout. The weather had dipped a bit back into the 70s considering the day before it was 15 degrees hotter. What a difference! My friends made plans to go to Arlington Race track to watch the fireworks show but I wanted to stay behind. I got invited at the last minute to join my friend on his boat. He wasn’t planning on taking it out to the lake and figured I could keep him company while he did some work on it. I picked up some sushi and grabbed a bottle of wine and made my way down there.
He was recently in Bangkok for work. It was his first time there and he showed me his pictures. I absolutely LOVE hearing travel stories!! They get me even more curious about the world in general.
I’m not sure where my next trip will be but I will be narrowing down my choices soon. Right now, it’s about budgeting, and making sure the time is right for a quick escape. ttyl
