Bills, Bills, Bills...

                O.K. I know I'm 27... I should be used to paying bills by now. True, I've been out of the nest since age 19 and yet and still I struggle with paying my bills as I should. But this week I've decided to make a change. 

A SERIOUS LIFE ALTERING CHANGE!!!! I will pay my bills first, stick to a plan, and save at least $100 a month going forth. TRUST THIS WILL BE THE HARDEST CHALLENGE OF MY FINANCIAL LIFE, but its a must. I can no longer lean on my adorably loyal boyfriend and drain his funds.

     So since I get paid each week my plan is weekly. So each week as soon as my direct deposit hits, IM PAYING BILLS. Then after work that day ill go to the ATM and withdrawal my allotted spending money for the week and keep it pushing. WISH ME LUCK!!!

Maryland Renaissance Festival

The Renaissance Festival is in Crownsville, Maryland literally ever year.... and this was my first time attending. It was everything I wanted and more. I only wish id gone on a Saturday so that I could partake in the libation.

Its literally like walking into another world. A lot of the festival goers played the part as well... then we had a lot of furries and storm troopers. But hey its all fun. 

I GOT A FLOWER BECAUSE IM A PRETTY MAIDEN

The turkey leg was the best part... i came for the turkey leg. 

Allow me to Reintroduce Myself....

I am Ashley Lauren.

Im 27.

and the world is my playground.
And I will never EVER forget that ever again.
