A bill collector called me today...but not FOR me....seemed I was on a contact list for a relative who had not paid his hospital bills, and they were looking for information to find him, so they called me. It was still pretty creepy.........has that ever happened to you?

I am going to try to get a few things done in the house today...I have so much stuff, and I have a lot of food, too....where did all the food come from????? I am all set not to spend for a little while. I have no interest in shopping, spending on credit....yay! I hope this keeps up for a little while. I have lots of papers and clothes to go thru and organize and toss out tonight.....all that stuff I spent on in the paast....I'll let you know how I do, what I found, what I tossed out!!!

Work got a bit weird today...I need a new job. At the very least, I don't have to suffer anymore thru a training process that wasn't working. It is so hard to find a new job right now...well, I am going in late tomorrow, so it will be good to have a mini break from the craziness. Some people have walked off the team lately, but I don't want to do that and risk not being able to pay bills except with saved money.......I want to get somewhere, and I just don't see it happening at work, with the bills, cleaning out the house and my life................but I am going to try very hard not to get all frustrated and just blow it, make it worse. I have been much better avoiding frustration spending lately.

I have to figure out my taxes soon. I doubt I will get money back in any great quantity. I usually break even, but I'll take that. I am not counting on any refunds for bill paying.

ok, ready, set, GO CLEAN SOMETHING OUT!!! ....like another drawer.......

Littles...you have inspired me to spend some time this weekend cleaning out!!! My DH will be gone some both Sat & Sun so I will go through some cupboards, drawers & a closet. I have needed to do this & now I will!!! I'm not going to set my sites too high, as I want some alone time to relax too...but I will get started.

Thanks for the inspiration & have a good week/weekend!
