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, the pup needs surgery. She finished her meds on Tuesday and appeared to be fine Wednesday. In the middle of the night though, she was back to yelping and shivering and was in total pain. Luckily, we had 2 pain pills left over for her just in case we needed them. We ended up [...]
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, [...]
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 [...]
