- I sympathize about the credit card situation. When my husband was unemployed and I ended up in the psych ward we ended up with 10k+ (because of the bills, cars breaking down, food, etc) and I've managed to make a small, small dent in it, not to mention my husband's student loans. I swear we would be okay if we didn't have to pay all this crap. And because we pay all this crap we can't focus on paying one thing off...yeah...I'm thinking maybe in ten years??? Realistically it's not that much, but we just don't make enough money. Thus my goal to write original fic and hawk it around (maybe self-publishing on Kindle). This will probably take me a few years, but it's a goal. It's a goal. Maybe I'll look into a part time job when kiddo goes to school. On the plus side, one of the guys at the church is super handy with cars and is going to replace our timing belt for free (egads, it was going to cost 1k-1500 to do it - more if you don't replace it and it busts).
- I felt the same way about Cars and Cars 2 - Eli loves it (he loves Francesco, which cracks me up).
- Weight stuff is hard during the holidays. After Eli was born I weighed 200 lbs (my largest) - it took me a year but I got down to 145. Then I had my breakdown and gained 20lbs...and now I'm right around 160, but I'm 5'7 just about so it doesn't look bad on me, but I have a lot of cute clothes from my skinnier days. I was getting there until winter hit (I hate you winter). I need to pull out my Wii exercise programs. I make it a point to eat on smaller plates, etc. (Hey cheap, easy snack: take devil's food cake mix and a 15 oz can of pumpkin, that's it - mix it together, make muffins out of it - it's chocolatey goodness and seriously like 150 calories. Sprinkle some powdered sugar on top and voila! Plus, I used to feed them to Eli as an easy breakfast - the overall cost is less than 3 bucks for a dozen).
- Also - relieved that our guests canceled on us for Thanksgiving. We will be eating not thanksgiving food (my family never really did Thanksgiving - it was sort of that practice holiday before the real holiday LOL).
- Also - my laundry room and refrigerator look the same way. You are not alone.
AND I can't wait for writerverse to start. :: happy flaily dance ::
