Night Owl

I've been working permanent night shifts at the hospital since January. Its great on one hand, because I get paid a differential...which ends up being about $300 more a month. Any extra income is much needed because I now have a mortgage to pay, graduate school to save for, a puppy to feed, and a costly addiction of eyelash extensions.

I kind of miss not having financial responsibilities...when I could go to all my favorite boutiques and purchase anything I wanted. No worries about being able to pay other bills on top of my shopping bill. (Sigh..)

I've been a really good girl about watching my budget. I have no credit card debt and am able to make an extra payment on my mortgage so it will be paid off in approximately 25 years instead of 30. I even applied for an on-call position at a local hospital to help me save more a little quicker.

To give myself a pat on the back, I made a few purchases in the past few weeks to include:

1) Mini Metal Mother of Pearl White Toy Watch ($150 on Gilt.com). What a deal! I have 3 other toy watches and paid at least $275 for each!

Nordstrom sells the exact same watch for $250!

2) Pink Scalloped Shorts



I found these on Ebay, thanks to Lena from Quality Rivets. I've been looking for scalloped shorts for a long time and I couldn't pass up the price ($35) and the color (pink). Perfect combo of Girly-ness.

And this is one of the very reasons why I work so hard...to come home to my little baby, Mochi!
