Hi everyone!
Sorry I haven't been around much. I was out of town with a wedding and then a funeral (back to back . . . lovely isn't it) and there has been a brutal cold going around the office. I was sick for almost a week! Good thing I have tons of sick days that I haven't used!

I used my CC WAY to much this month for completely

Happy to hear you received a raise.

You are so good at staying committed to your goal and keeping on task. The occasional splurge is going to happen.
Congratulations on your raise, and I hope the new boyfriend is a keeper!
