Greetings all....I have no time to focus on my budget! What is wrong with me???? I feel overwhelmed in my life for some strange reason. Partly I had a bad week so far dealing with some ex-husband issues. It has really drained me mentally I guess. I will get to it. I am thinking about it as I move thru my day. Today I went to Barnes and Noble. When I got home I looked at my receipt. I could not figure why my bill was so high. Well it was easy to see......one small paperback book I got on Divorce was $34.95!!! That book my friend is going back!!!!! That is plain pathetic in my opinion! That just shows me how wonderful the library is! Or the Half Price Bookstore. What do these publishers think???? Just awful! To top it all off----- the clerk tried to SELL me the advantage card for BARNES AND NOBLE....in my small opinion a huge rip OFF!!! Yes they charge for their card. RIP OFF---
It is still hot here.....I am tring like the dickens to not have the a/c on when I am out and about. My two fans are awesome for moving the air around in a pleasant way.
How is your gas prices? I filled up a half a tank worth for $2.78 a gallon. I almost feel guilty....I know alot of you are paying a hefty sum for gas. Gas is outrageous......I see how bad it is on the news in some parts of the country.
The baby shower I am hosting is next Sat. Many ladies cannot come. On one hand I am so sad to not have them be a part of the fun...yet my budget is getting more in line with what I wanted to spend. I am looking forward to the fellowship and fun. I know my girls can not wait to hostess and be in charge.
Well I hope to report back that I DO HAVE A BUDGET.......wish me luck-
Stumbling and Bumbling along

Ive heard it may be going up again.
My little car will go 350 miles on a tank and it costs about $30-35 to fill it.

I purchased it while my now ex-husband had just left the family. We actually bought together one Sunday afternoon. I assumed we would get back together, he would come to his senses and we would need the van for our many happy and joy-filled summer family trips and such. At times I do not like my van because it brings up alot of sad memories and some regrets ---broken dreams. Then I remember it is paid for and I do not have a van payment every month. It is reliable, safe and runs like a dream......at that point I then count my Blessings!
