May Bullet Journal Setup + Weeklys

My may cover page I tried to stay with a floral theme. However, it didn't stick that long. It only made it to the monthly setup and the first weekly spread.

My May month at a glance was pretty simplistic.  Anything with an underline was related to bills and anything that needed to payed. Any date with a filled in circle were events for the month. The red arrows signified any event that was occurring for more than one day.

Next was my budget and habit trackers. On the top of my budget tracker I just put in order by date my bills and the amount due. Which I did not fill in until the week it was due. On the bottom half of that page I just have different things I'm tracking like how much I'm spending on gas, take out, entertainment, groceries, and miscellaneous items. Under that I marked out each week so I know exactly how much I'm spending each week and then a grand total for the month for each category.

My habit tracker was all over the place this month. As you can see I made 3 tiny months for each habit I was tracking. My mood tracker was a wreath full of leaves. And each day I colored the corresponding color to how I was feeling that day.

I was debating about a brain dump page but I'm happy I added it. I feel like on the months I put this in I don't use it and on the months that I don't have it, I wish I would have put it in. So I think I'm going to continue putting this page in even if I may or may not use it.

My first weekly spread was from April 30th to May 6th.

Week two: May 7th to May 13th

Week three: May 14th through the 20th

Week four: May 21st through May 27

Week five: May 28th through June 3rd

I made both these weeks a one page per week because I knew they were going to be uneventful. I made them just large enough to fit in my daily thoughts and any reminders for due dates or events.

DOTW-DinnerOfTheWeek

My husband and I decided to cook a nice simple meal for the family last night just for the heck of it since we barely ever do anything with my family. I know what you see is probably something you've probably never even tasted or seen but most South Eastern Asians have probably eaten this at one point in their life.

If you have ever eaten at a traditional Asian home you would know that there's always going to be some kind of form of rice. Pictured to the <---LEFT<--- is sticky rice which I SUPER DUPER LOVE. Majority of the time though my family and I actually eat regular rice like Jasmine rice or short grained rice that gets imported into the US. I'm just not a domestic rice eater. It just don't taste good at all once you've tasted the good stuff and I've tasted the good stuff all my life.

We also made Laab which is a Laotion slash Thai dish this consists of mainly beef. Then thrown in is some parsley, mint, green onions, yellow onion, chilli peppers, and a few other veggies that are super yummy. Pictured to the --->RIGHT--->

Most people like to eat this dish by using the sticky rice to pick up some of the Laab and eating it. Laab and sticky rice is a finger food so don't be shy to put some in your plate and eat with your CLEAN fingers.

My husband also made some Tum Yum soup which was also super delicious. I'm not going to list what was it because honestly I don't know. I've never really been a Tum Yum soup person so I never learned how to make it but I loved my husbands version of the dish. It was very spicy. Tum Yum soup is basically a spicy and sour soup. If you've never seen or heard of this it is the picture to the <---LEFT<---. Everything was super yummy and I hope you all enjoyed this post. I'll see guys later.
