Working on the Weekend

I spent the majority of my time working at Chickfila today. I love work, especially when it involves diverse tasks and talking to new and exciting people. And...I know that realizing my dream of my own home place remains far off on the horizon but, working and *fingers crossed* learning to manage my income really stirs some excited butterflies in my stomach for my future home.

I always watch HGtv while i work on my homework (or in this case my only remaining summer assignment: the english essay *duh duh DUH*). After finishing a sufficent amount of essay for now, luckily enough for my imagination, Property Virgins appeared on my television screen!

Inspired, I decided to make my need list and my wish list for my barely affordable apartment in Manhattan.
