I’m still here and still plugging away at our darned debt. There hasn’t been a lot going on, hence the lack of posts. I did manage to send another $450 to our furnace debt, bringing the balance down to $4,900. No change with our Visa as the billing cycle doesn’t close for another week or so. When the bill does come, I’m ready! [Read more…]

It has been well over a week since I updated the blog. Not good! I wish I had a valid reason, but my lack of doing so is pretty much a lot of “this and that” happenings. [Read more…]

We are at the end of the month, so I feel that I should give an official update. For those who have been following along, you already know we paid off the remaining $2,500 owed to Citi. So not to confuse, $2,500 was our starting balance for April. For good measure, I checked to make sure our final payment posted. Balance is a zero. What a beautiful thing! So how about the rest?

Lately, I feel like most of my posts are all gloom and doom. But, right now, I do have some good news! As of this coming Monday, Citi will be paid off in full! I wasn’t sure whether or not we’d be able to pull it off. But thanks to Hub’s having a bigger check than anticipated, we will. For good measure, I’m even sending an extra $25 towards paying off our furnace. That way I can now officially say that is the new target of our snowball. The year has been a tough one, so we really needed this win. [Read more…]

First of all, I want to wish everyone a Happy Easter. With the Hubs away, mine was very quiet. No complaints. I prefer it that way ~ well, the quiet part that is, not the Hubs being away part! [Read more…]

Since I’m on a roll with writing about my trip to divide up my dad’s lifetime, I figure I may as well keep on going. If you missed it, HERE is part one. [Read more…]

The dreaded weekend of emptying my father’s condo is over, or at least it is for me. Everyone has until the end of this next weekend to remove their items and then whatever remains will be picked up by a local charity. Aside from dealing with my drama queen sister (more on that later), there is a lot of emotions when it comes to dividing up a lifetime. [Read more…]

Guess who didn’t make it home yesterday? Hubs. Guess who is still home? Me. So much for making plans. Unfortunately, Mother Nature had her own ideas, which included a nasty storm. I could see on the airline tracking that Hub’s flight was within 15 minutes of landing. Then just like that, it showed as being redirected. And so were my plans. [Read more…]
