Hello! At the library right now. Found a few books I wanted to look at but had never wanted to invest money in, so this is good.

Going to the movies tonight with my SO, and have a dinner out with family tomorrow evening, so TRYING to lay low on other expenses this weekend. Keep thinking CHEAP and FREE.

I was up very early this morning,and I was looking at some of the stuff I have in the apartment, not really cleaning or anything, just looking at stuff. And thinking, BOY, do I have STUFF! So the urge to spend is low today because I just have SO MUCH STUFF, and I am looking forward to snowflaking a payment this afternoon.....as I said in an earlier post, I sort of can't afford to right now, but THAT gives me a rush now rather than shopping, so I'm going with it.

I have some pants to donate to charity this weekend(my fat pants!!!!), and I have some things to thow out, so looking forward to freeing up a small amount more of space in the closets this weekend, and I will not go out and buy stuff to refill them. I need to clean out the closets and the credit card balances.

Everyday somehow I am trying to get myself top my goals be they one dollar or one more thing I can do to make things better for myself....I have a ways to go, but it's all BABY STEPS.......................and I can do baby steps.

Have a great Saturday!!!!

Get to library for those free videos for the weekend!

(PS...The library is so noisy...the tapping of keyboards and loud cellphone people. Whatever happened to the notion that this is a quiet place of study????)

I, too, have found the library to be a wealth of "free" information and it supplies me with many of the books and movies I need for by favorite activities of reading and movie watching. And as far as it being a super quiet place, I guess those days are gone. Because before I got my computer (just a little over 3 weeks ago now), I was one of those computer key-clacking folks you mentioned. But I never did the cell phone bit. Good tip for saving money.
