I am little late but, I hope everyone had a fabulous Halloween!!!
I have some news; my 2nd job at The Rack is over. I know I did not last very long barley a month and I was very sad to quit. But here the details, after working those insane hours last weekend I went to work on Monday morning with a migraine, blurred vision & the shakes due to exhaustion. I had to leave my regular job to go home and sleep.
I wanted a 2nd job because with the pay cut at my regular job I now have to budget and save for months at a time to buy the things I love. I miss being able to purchase freely but it is not worth my health. I have chosen to sit back relax and ride out the economy and cut back on being able to go out to dinner so much, buy new clothes, get manis & pedis and facials at the spa. I just need to learn to readjust my lifestyle until the pay cut is over.
I can not jeopardize my regular fulltime job. I am very fortunate that I am just on a pay cut and not fired like so many others in my company and around the USA. My performance can not suffer I need to be on top of my game and not leaving work early because I need to sleep from working this other job that I have to purchase materialistic things.
Unfortunately thinking I would be working David & I previously canceled our Dallas Halloween plans so we spent the evening watching movies and resting.
I was able to dress up for my office Halloween party where I was: I Love Lucy!
Thinking I would be working on Sunday I missed out on Austin's Race For The Cure, which is very near and dear to my heart. My grandmother had a vasectomy due to breast cancer while my great grandmother passed away from breast cancer before I was even born. I was little bummed about not being able to attend.
I did enjoy my once again found weekend freedom and enjoyed a day at my gym Lifetime Fitness. I am so excited to get back into my workout routine! 
Also thank you for all your prayers on my grandfather he is in extended care, they did not think he would make it through the night but he did. The family knows his end is near and we have accepted it, but it still hard.
But on a more positive note!
With all my once again free time I will be catching up on my favorite blogs, I miss reading and commenting you all!

I've been down that road trying to take on another job for money for those thigs. Gotta remember to take care of ourselves! Glad your better too.
Great costume!
I wrote a long ass comment and then it didn't go through...ha
here's a condensed version. Your Gpa is definitely in my prayers! I don't know what's worse, not getting a chance to say goodbye or having TO say goodbye.
i did a total 360 in my spending habits after i left HS. In HS i was the one with all the latest namebrand handbags toting around LV & dior and just loved buying things. now, my biggest splurge every month is my apt. i'm never there and sometimes i wnder if it is worth it, but then, when i come home i know that it totally is. i stopped buying a lot of clothes due to a.) finances and b.) travel. if i had to choose between not spending a couple hundred on clothes and accessories each month or putting it away for my trip to Australia, hands down trip to Oz wins.
i think you'll find your balance soon and like me, you'll find ways to do other things you love without having to spend money so you can save it towards something you really want. or, you may realize you didn't want it that badly after all and save it for something else! i think the best part about not having a lot of money is being able to prioritize what ends up being more important to you.
your health is more important, i think you have made a good decision!
i also went from buying anything and everything i wanted to cutting back on everything. i dont miss not being to shop to my hearts content. i think it just feels more rewarding when i do get to buy something new :)
your costume was great, you looked so cute!
hope you are having a good day!
Your outfit is super cute!! Love it!
I LOVE LUCY! so cute.
your health is definitely more important. that was the right decision, but i know it must have been a tough one to make. :( i haven't been working since may so i could focus on studying and the lsat, and it has been VERY difficult not splurging on something right when i want it. i start working at coach again next weekend, but I really want to try and keep my same spending habits right now so that i can save up some money and one day put it towards something i REALLY might want.
race for the cure was crazy hectic since it was at a new place this year...but it went well i think. i still had a good time. :) parking was just INSANE, as was traffic.
<3
Sounds like you made the right decision!!!
I'm sorry the second job didn't work, but, your health is what's most important. Paycuts suck, but, you're handling it beautifully.
And I adore your Lucy costume!
You are too cute for words!!

your costume is so cute! Glad you made the decision for yourself about the 2nd job. Do what's best for you :)
Also, I will be thinking of your family and your grandfather I'm so sorry to hear the news.
What a fun costume! Sometimes scary movies on Halloween can be fun!
Sorry to hear about your grandfather.
I did the exact same thing when we relocated. I was unable to find a job that paid what I thought was necessary for me so I got 2 jobs! I was exhausted and grumpy and after 9 months of working 2 jobs, I finally quit one. While I miss the extra income, it is much better for me!
Great costume by the way :)
