About Me

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.

Lost Money...so Frustrating

September 24th, 2009 at 06:53 pm

I stopped and got $20 to get into the football game tonight. I was fiddling with the umbrella I bought, the chair, and a blanket. Got half way to the gate an realized that the money wasn't in my pocket. I remember seeing it in the cupholder and picking it up. But I can't find it. I have no clue where it went. I looked everywhere! As frustrating as that is, my sister has a good outlook...she said that I just believe that someone found it that needed to buy milk for their baby. So that is what I am going to think. I have found a $10 bill in the bank parking lot before and it was all I had for the week. I called the bank, but of course no one claimed it. But it was really a blessing...so I probably just gave someone a blessing.

I got gas in Jasper, which was about 15 cents cheaper per gallon. So I saved about $2 by filling up.

Got my coupons all organized for shopping this weekend. All ready to do my saving! Can't wait!

The other day I got back 2 $5's plus coins after buying lunch. Later, I pulled the coins out of my pocket but couldn't find the $5's. I've been much more careful since then when I get back change. I still regret losing $10.

That is really frustrating, but I like the mindset that the money just leads to a blessing for someone - hopefully someone who really was in need. The other day I was walking home from class and pulled my keys out of my pocket at the corner... I didn't notice that as I did so I had dropped a ten. A few moments later, as I was getting ready to cross the street, I looked down and there was a ten on the ground! I was all excited until I realized that it was out of my own pocket. I guess I will just have to view it as insurance that I blessed myself (by not losing a ten), in this instance... =)
