hey all,

finally an electric bill that is decent!! $75 is alright with me!
i have 1 more month on probation with the new company that i work for, and i have health insurance as of right now, for the first time in 3 years...i will finally have a regular doctor!!

all for now, hope everyone is good to go

alright, those of you out there that love cats already know this, but as i was going through the check out line today, i said what the hell, and bought a $3 laser pointer....
it is the most relaxing and funniest thing i think i have ever seen in my life to see the cat go ape over this red dot she cannot touch or smell....
trust me people....it is HIGHLY theraputic!!!
things are good around here, just saving and saving more, hope all is well with you!

i worked 17 hours overtime last week, and really looked forward to this paycheck today....it should have been really good.
but, i had $50 taken out for union initiation fee, and then $45 taken out for union dues in this one check!
soooo....3/4 of my overtime went to that!

oh well, think about how my check would have looked if i had not worked the overtime. that would have put us in a fix for sure.
hope everyone had a good labor day!

this week i did 17 hours of overtime. it is good because it is going to pay off some of the credit cards before they are due.
it is amazing, but my fiance and i are talking about buying a house in the next year, and i am looking into saving $ for retirement. after the last 2 years of having no money and being dirt poor, i am truly grateful for my opportunities.
to all of you out there that are going though hard times, i truly beleive that everything happens for a reason, and that i am a better person having gone through the last couple of years.
keep strong, stay with your goals, and only good things can happen!!!!

oh yeah, and my new favorite saying...."the hell with the Joneses!" make yourself happy, not everyone else.
