I continue to be so grateful that I started working on my debt/credit when I did. This week I've received a fab pay-off. I'm refinancing my house. The loan officer locked in 4.5% for me today. The new payment for my 15-year note is less than my cu...

Bleeding money

2009-03-10T20:37:37Z

I am holding tight to the tourniquet to hopefully staunch the bleeding . . . from my wallet. March is turning into an expensive month! I paid off the $5890 for the trip (now to pay that back), plus $263 for my share of the single supplement. Trav...

Already a struggle

2009-02-01T17:08:59Z

Overheard at the grocery store

QotD: I'll Have The Usual

2007-06-09T00:41:43Z

If a waiter stopped by right now to take your order, what cocktail or drink are you having? I could so use an ice cold Miller Lite about now. Or maybe a Tanqueray and Tonic (I have the gin, not the tonic). With extra lime. Ooo, or a mojito. Yum....

I need to make some changes in my life. I'm trying to think of a slogan for 2007. Like . . . 2007: The year I get my ass in gear Okay, that's not it. Unfortunately, not much ryhmes with seven. But you know what I mean. I need a little something ...
