I was listening to this woman at work trying to cancel a credit card today....the customer service guy would not take her cancellation, she kept having to tell him NO at everything he had to say. Ridiculous! (I can hear everything at my desk...I can't believe some of the conversations I hear!) Don't worry...he didn't change her mind!

I am broke with 2 more weeks until I get paid again. I may pull from the emergency fund to see me thru....I have no spending plans except for food and gas until I get paid again...oh, wait...I have a birthday dinner and a gift to buy this weekend...oh, well.....I'll figure something out.....but I am NOT using the credit card!!!!!

I got a full mailbox today...all kinds of stuff in the box.....and there were bills.....the utility bill was quite high.....the car insurance bill came....so I am reworking the budget again for the next paycheck.

I have 2 broken items I have to replace....my computer mouse isn't working right (clicker not working), and the earphone for my cellphone needs to be replaced.......they are not expensive, but had I not had to get my hair done, I know I would have more money for this, but I had to get the hair done...I guess right now is yet another very expensive time for me. I am also trying to figure out what to do with Easter...have to take out relatives....it never seems to end.

In the next 2 weeks I;ll find out if I get a raise or not.......getting one does not look good if you follow what they are saying to us.....the company is doing so well, the execs and lousy managers get bonuses.......not us worker bees..............I have put my efforts into this, too...why are they worth so little?

I am going to be doing the usual things tonight, and I hope to make some headway with the house and taxes......I can't get motivated enough right now to tackle these things...I sit down on the sofa and fall asleep. I am drained from fighting my job and other things I have to do......I have nothing left for myself. At least I am in enough control to not go spending.......................

I was so unhappy this weekend when I was putting gas in my car.........the prices went way up over here.......$20 didn't buy much...........

Well, I'll hang in there.

Looking for snowflakes, but can't find any.

Cousin Bernadette is just laughing at me because she sees me trying to pay off the debt, and I just don't have anything right now........she's being "nice" and not tempting me with ideas of going out and just blowing my work so far....I think she can see that I'm not making the progress I want to right now. I just wish she'd just stop laughing at me! (Cousin Bernadette is my name for my "relationship" with debt.) Shut up, Cuz!!!

Have a good evening......think positive thoughts, and take some time to enjoy yourself with the things you already have. That's why we bought them, right? Littlesbigs
