HELLO!!!!

I am alive and well....just sort of having a technology rebellion......so I haven’t been on the computer after work as much as I used to be, but I will work on my recently acquired aversion....I haven’t been picking up the messages on the answering machine either, but not because of bill collectors or anything like that. I just want to be left alone when I get home......I stare so much at computers at this particular job that I just can’t stand it anymore!

But, I wanted to tell you, esp. since someone was asking for me (thank you!) that I am
okay. I was extended for another 6 months at this job, but I really wanted to make a
change. BUT, I need to eat, and nothing was happening outside this, so there I am for 6
more months. There are many other people there now who will be laid off or released in
the next 2 weeks, so I am hoping nothing changes at the last minue for me. I didn’t get a raise which was a bummer, but okay, I’ll take this for now.

I haven’t made much progress with my debt load. Towards the end of the summer, I went
out and bought myself a bunch of “gifts.” Then I decided to take another class, and I was
basically living similar to the way I could on the old salary which wasn’t exactly killing
me financially, but I wasn’t progressing with the debt, so I am recommitting myself to the
whole debt elimnation lifestyle again. As it is, with gasoline prices rising and THE
HOLIDAYS coming up faster than I will be able to keep up with them, I have to
CONSERVE CONSERVE CONSERVE money. (When I finish up onthe computer
tonight, I am cutting coupons!!!)

Cousin Bernadette is still here, as you may have guessed. I have been trying to ignore her the last couple days, but she was my partner in “crime” for a time recently, so now I have to deal with her face on and focus on making her go away....... She’s sitting in my
livingroom still in her big, stinky bathrobe and cheesy cream all over her face....and still only I can see her????? Recently I have been having thoughts about moving and/or
buying my first house, but sometimes I think she is standing in the doorway keeping me
in this little apartment. Do you ever feel like that??? Do you ever see it like that?

I am definitely not bored at home (I have so much stuff to do!!!!!!!!), but I have been
going out a lot mostly to drive and see the leaves changing and see the world as my job is
in a small building focused on a computer screen. My tiny world. Drives me nuts!!!!

I drive past the mall every day on the way home from work, but I have not been making
any stops there, but I miss the mall. I have done an assessment of my fall clothes, and I
think I can get thru the winter just fine with what I have, so I am trying to avoid clothes shopping now as I did get some nice stuff a few weeks ago. I do feel like a stylish gal.....!

I have been lurking from time to time, but I think I’d better get on the stick and start
posting again!

Out of time for now!

I missed y’all!!!!!!!!!

I understand the Cousin Bernadette blocking the doorway...I feel that way too. Although I like my apartment most of the time.

Glad to see you are back.
