I gave up my chance to meet an actor on my favorite show to chaperone prom


I've been a huge Breaking Bad fan for years now. I have met Bryan Cranston twice and have a Breaking Bad tattoo (No more half measures!)
The first time I met Bryan Cranston 

When my husband and I had a Breaking Bad finale viewing party, I cried hysterically in front of everyone as Walt died. I was once an extra on Better Call Saul. I was a DEA agent, but just a blur in the background on screen. But I knew it was me and that was all that mattered! A dream come true! So when I say that I am a big fan of the show, I REALLY MEAN IT, THAT SHOW IS MY LIFE!!! 

Last night there was a chance to meet the actor who played Saul from the show. Usually in a heartbeat I would have bought tickets immediately and would have been so stoked to meet another actor from my favorite show. 

When the event was shared on Facebook I wanted to buy tickets, but then I realized it was the same night as prom at my work. I've been with the same class for three years (I missed their junior year due to maternity leave). I had been planning to go to their prom to see them all dressed up. The old me would have been so sad to miss that show. My minimalism journey has taught me to use time wisely, so without hesitation I decided to stick to my plans to chaperone prom knowing that I would regret it more if I had missed that dance. 

I only chaperoned for about an hour, but I saw the majority of the kids in my class. They all looked to handsome and beautiful. They looked like they were having a great time! It was great to see them so happy.

When I got home, the Breaking Bad fan group I belong to posted pictures from the show. Not only was the actor who played Saul there, but so was the actor who played Mike! That did leave me a little bummed because to meet him would have been amazing! But then I reminded my self that I only have a month with these kids, and then after that it's all over. I'm sure I missed out on a great opportunity, but I did so for another great opportunity.

Makeup Declutter-Why It's Important to Take Pictures!

I'm sure everyone else who is decluttering has already been doing this, but I wish I would have taken before and after pictures of my progress! Sometimes I feel like decluttering is like losing weight; sometimes you can't see your progress and it can become discouraging. I've been decluttering and minimizing for a year now, and some days I feel like my house looks the same. But I know that I have come a long way! I wish I would've taken a photo of our crazy then office with all of the papers that were hoarded in that room. It's now my baby's room and is quite clear. I would love to compare the two though! I was feeling like I could minimize my makeup some more, because it still feels like too much. So I tried to remind myself that I've come a long way. I still had my containers that used to hold my makeup, so I put the two I emptied out next to my makeup bag. I could see that I did clear out a lot of makeup! It's reassuring to see, but I plan on ...

Pantry Decluttering

I decluttered the pantry before Christmas and am determined to keep it clutter free throughout the year. To save money we only buy what we will eat immediately during the week. We make sure to eat practically everything we have in the house before we go out for groceries again. This leaves our pantry looking bare at times, but it still manages to get full of other clutter. The pantry was mostly cluttered this time around with plastic bags that were accumulating to be recycled. Here is our pantry before the recent decluttering: Our pantry looks pretty messy, but it's not as bad as our first declutter last year. Again, our biggest problem was the plastic bags that had been collecting for recycling. I own reusable grocery bags, but sometimes we buy groceries when we haven't been able to stop home for them. Hence, why we have some plastic bags in our pantry taking up space. We recycled those bags and I got my reusable bags organized and ready to take out.  We also had p...

We own our car! Paid it off three years early!

Last May, when we lined up all of our debt, we had about $18,000 left to pay on our car. This was our largest debt, aside from the house, that we needed to pay off. Now, a year and a half later, we have finally paid our car off! I submitted the payment  from a different bank account with the payoff amount, but since it took a few days to process, 11 cents in interest was added. I am proud to say that I transferred that 11 cents from my checking on that account and paid the car off today!  I have learned from this car experience to NEVER buy new again! I didn't know that car value drops as soon as you leave the lot. Also, we paid so much in interest the last four years, we definitely overpaid for this car than we needed to. Lesson learned!  We only have one more debt left, my teen's braces with the remaining cost of $700, and then we will only have a mortgage payment!
