Tomorrow our lease if officially up in the apartment that we are living in. My husband and I both have held off on re-signing the lease again but we know now that we really have no other choice. We absolutely despise where we live, and the expenses to live in this tiny little apartment are [...]
It is New Year’s Day, the first day of 2011. I anticipate MANY changes this year. Good ones I hope. I thought 2010 was going to be a great year. My bankruptcy was behind me, I got a new job, things looked good. Well, when our beagle got sick a few months ago, it wrecked [...]

Yes, you read it right. I have been so slammed work-wise and family-wise, and I have had so much going on with the pup that I have not had time to update here about another important thing going on in my life. As I posted a few weeks back, I was offered a job writing [...]
Coming up with a budget and sticking to it is really helping us out. I also kicked it into high gear and pumped up my writing a little more. I am still not a fast writer, but I managed to make my monetary goal for the week to get all the bills caught up and [...]

This girl in debt is still around. Geese, I can’t believe we are in September already, and it has been over a month since I have last posted here. It sure doesn’t feel like it. You know, I got my renewal notice for this site the other day and when my husband seen it, he [...]
It has been just over 2 weeks since my last update here, and shortly after I updated…things just went haywire. Where do I even begin? My husband no longer has a job with the company he was working for. That was brief, huh? The sale of the company was going through, then it wasn’t going [...]
Things are moving fast here on our end and I have way too many updates! I will try to keep it brief though because I have loads of work to do and so very little time to do it. I just do not like leaving this site sitting dormant. I enjoy posting here, and again, [...]
Any other time posting this news would be dreadful for me to do, but since bad luck just seems to follow us…what the heck, right? So in my last post I wrote about my husband getting a job and we were finally catching up again. Until he got that first check from this new job, [...]
I don’t how it has been nearly 2 weeks since my last post. Boy does time go by so fast. Here’s my mixed bag of updates. In a quest to get ourselves in better shape (uh, lose the fat!) and get healthier, my husband and I both made a strong effort to eating better and [...]
I don’t like writing these types of posts, I prefer to report only good news. But then again, this is a debt blog and from day one I planned on documenting the good, the bad, and the ugly. So here it goes…. With less than 30 days until our lease is up, we have no [...]
So how are things going since my last update? Ya know, they are going OK. I am feeling better than I was when I wrote my last post. Let’s see, I posted last Sunday. Monday came, and I felt no better. To sum up a long story…I finally had my little break down or whatever [...]
It’s been a while since my last post. I have been meaning to update here, but things haven’t been going any better really since my last post. I just didn’t want to come on here and vent, which is probably what I am going to end up doing anyway. I am just all bottled up [...]
Well, here is my update for the week. I am really trying hard to keep up here because when I do, I keep myself more accountable for things. OK, we’ll start with savings. After my last post, our savings dwindled down to just under $1k. Not where I wanted to be, that’s for sure. I [...]

About a week ago, I watched a Joel Osteen broadcast that I have been thinking about ever since. I do not consider myself religous, but I do enjoy listening to him speak. There are very few “famous” people that get my attention, but when Dave Ramsey or Joel Osteen speak, I listen. The particular message that [...]

These past few weeks have been a whirlwind. While my husband, my girls and I are OK, we have had a few extended family members that have not been doing so well. Illnesses seemed to have struck a few family members during this holiday season. While most of them are doing better so far, the [...]
So my week in review-did I accomplish everything I set out to do? Yes, and no. Monday went well and I wrote…a lot. My little one came home sick from school later that afternoon-and by nightfall-I was sick! She got well the next day-me, I have been sick ALL WEEK. I thought it was just [...]

Well y’all, I sit speechless as I write this. It is almost midnight here, yet my mind is racing. My emotions are…well, I don’t know yet. I could write a book on here but my husband keeps telling me to get to bed so I don’t sleep late tomorrow-on my first day off…yeah my first [...]

I have decided I need to update here a little more and keep up with my financial blog reading every single day. There are many blogs I read that I have been visiting since even before I started this one. It is always interesting to see how people are coping with their debt problems and [...]
I spent the last couple days looking online and taking the back way home driving through neighborhoods looking for a new place to live. I found a few actually. So before I started calling around making appointments to view them, I decided to call my apartment manager one more time. She was not in but [...]
I don’t really know what is going on but I think stress is getting the best of me. With the bankruptcy almost behind us and being caught up on all our bills, I should be jumping for joy. But I am not. A few months ago, I got a burst of energy and started a [...]

It’s been a week since I last posted? WOW, time flies. This week has really not been a good week. The cold weather is long gone but my neck pain is still there. My shoulder and my neck are hurting bad and the pain is not going away. My husband thinks it is from being [...]
Wow-only a few hours left until 2009! It felt like just yesterday that I was writing on this blog on how great 2008 was going to be! We all know how that one turned out… It got me to reading my own blog here and I went back to 12/31/07 and geese-I am in the [...]
