Excuses excuses

This week was supposed to be the beginning of our new financial lives. 

Unfortunately.....it didn't pan out that way. I began this week extremely excited about this new project- I was going to create a budget and start fixing our dismal financial outlook. 

Then I needed to pay $500 for my car to be fixed. Then Greenbeans nail ripped off. Then Jurassic Park got releases in 3-D, so I had to spend an unspecified amount of time acting as a dinosaur. 

Basically, I flaked. Tomorrow, however, I've blocked out a few hours of my day to start this project. A budget will be created, it will be color-coded, and it will be laminated. I'm planning my first shopping trip, so ill also create a grocery list and clip coupons. 

I'm disappointed in myself for losing a week, but life goes on. Tomorrow is a new day and another change to get on the right financial path.
