[00:00:01]Hey, y'all. Happy Saturday. It's Carlie.

[00:00:05]I hope everyone's weekend is off to a great start. I'm here to do my freebie Friday challenges and also my savings shuffle challenges. So, before I do these binders, I need to do my moon phases, which is a freebie on my Kofi.

[00:00:30]This is a Q2 challenge.

[00:00:33]It goes from April through June. We are working on We're starting June with the 8th, which is a I believe that's a first quarter moon.

[00:00:45]And that phase happens on the 8th, which is Monday.

[00:00:52]But, I'm going to go ahead and save that $8.

[00:00:57]So, we got back from our cruise yesterday. It was a lot of fun.

[00:01:06]I was very tired.

[00:01:09]Um I'm still just kind of trying to get back to reality.

[00:01:15]Um there's other stuff going on at home now and just a lot going on.

[00:01:21]Um so, I'm just trying to reacclimate myself. I have $8 here.

[00:01:28]But, like I said, we had a such a good time.

[00:01:32]It was definitely a fun experience.

[00:01:36]Um okay, so now in here we have 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 20, 40, 60, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.

[00:01:46]So, 169. I did condense this since the last time I was in here.

[00:01:54]Um I have some stories to tell. I'll probably tell them. I want to do a video that shows you guys all of the money that I spent for the trip and on the trip.

[00:02:08]And I'll probably kind of talk about the stories in that video.

[00:02:16]Um so, yeah. Okay, so this was This one's taken care of.

[00:02:22]I'm back at home. Millie was happy to see me.

[00:02:26]And David was, too.

[00:02:28]Um It's just another normal weekend for us, I guess. And then back to work on Monday.

[00:02:42]Okay.

[00:02:45]Today, I well, I have not unpacked.

[00:02:48]I want to get that done at some point before the weekend is over.

[00:02:53]Um and then tonight I am going to dinner with my mom and one of her friends. Um they're celebrating her daughter's college graduation.

[00:03:09]So, we're going out to celebrate that.

[00:03:13]I need to do a bunch of laundry.

[00:03:18]You know, just the usual stuff.

[00:03:21]Oh my gosh.

[00:03:23]I'm having such a difficult time.

[00:03:27]Okay.

[00:03:29]Starting a few new ones today.

[00:03:32]So, for my freebie Fridays, I have $100.

[00:03:37]And I have all $100 in fives.

[00:03:43]So, that's these. I'm going to give each challenge $5 to start so that they're all guaranteed a little bit of love.

[00:03:55]And actually this completes number eight. So if I roll an eight, I'm going to roll again. So that leaves me with 60 here.

[00:04:07]And I'm going to roll my D8.

[00:04:10]And it's going to tell me which challenge gets each $5 bill. I'm looking for my other D8.

[00:04:20]There we go.

[00:04:23]Okay.

[00:04:27]That is a six.

[00:04:31]I hope you all That's an eight. I'm re-rolling.

[00:04:35]I hope you all had a good week.

[00:04:38]It's been an entire week since I've recorded.

[00:04:43]I missed it, for sure.

[00:04:48]So just trying to get back in the groove.

[00:04:54]All right, I'm not doing that again.

[00:04:56]We're going to do this one.

[00:04:58]That one was just wanting to roll like a three and a six.

[00:05:03]All right.

[00:05:06]My goodness, number six is getting >> [clears throat] >> all the love.

[00:05:11]Let's go back to the pink one.

[00:05:21]Okay.

[00:05:23]There we go.

[00:05:25]I didn't roll a four or a five.

[00:05:29]But that's okay. They still got a little bit of love.

[00:05:33]So these challenges just go to various sinking funds.
