About Me

North Georgia Gal

Where to Begin...it is hard to believe that it has been 9 years since I started this Blog. You guys have always been here supporting me and cheering me on.

I am in the process of refinancing my LOC into a mortgage, rolling my credit card debt into it. Will probably then close all of my credit cards after that.

I still have my budget in place for a couple of months out, but I still have to make changes to it.

I hope to sell my house in about 6 months, and move closer to my kids, about an hour away. I will still commute to work because it would only be about 40 minutes. But this can't happen until my responsibility to my mom is done, she is close to moving in with my niece, but who knows when that will happen.

Splurged a little

July 21st, 2009 at 03:16 pm

Over the weekend, I tried a breakfast bowl. I didn't really think I was going to like it, but I really did! They are a little on the expensive side (2/$5). Okay alot on the expensive side, for one meal. But I bought 4 of them this morning to keep in my freezer at work. I will alternate them with the bagels that I keep here. Even at $2.50, it is still less than if I went to McDonalds or Burger King.

We are doing a fund raiser for my daughters cheerleading this week. We are trying to find 300 businesses to donate $20 each. Each girl is responsible for at least 10 businesses. We have a definite yes from 4 so far. And a maybe from 3. Will spend tomorrow driving her around to different places. Wish us luck! The more businesses we get, the less I have to pay for uniforms!!!

I also filled up my car today. $34. Glad gas prices are starting to come back down again. It should last me until Friday now.

Hello, No. Georgia: Your splurge wasn't too bad.We all do that sometimes...,and what you bought you can use for breakfast you said? Don't be too hard on yourself. Plus, it sounds as ifyou have been under alot of stress lately. Enjoy your "splurge".

You're almost halfway there on the definites, so good job! Hit up all the places that you frequent and they recognize you. They might have a harder time saying no, plus if they are planning to donate it will make it better for them to "know" the person they are helping.
