This week's Monday Minute with Ian co-host is Kendra from Baby Bits. She wrote all five questions this week.

What was your "oh no, I'm turning into my Mom/Dad" moment?

I'm not sure that there is one. I mean I have always said I would do things differently than my mom did. She was my friend, and let me get away with way too much. I love my mom, she was my best friend, and I nearly died when she died. My family says I am like her in that I do some things like her. Like hand washing my dishes before they go in the dishwasher, not letting anyone touch my washer machine, though I've let up on that one.

What current commercial do you find the most annoying/funny?

I hate the new Geico commercial, the one where they are playing chess and that guy starts yelling. It makes me wanna throw the remote through the TV, not call and get their insurance.

If you could only eat one color food for the rest of your life what would it be?

One color food? I have never thought about it. Hmmm...I really really have no idea. Can I choose pink since it's my favorite color, but that doesn't mean I don't want my food cooked.

What is your current Facebook/Myspace/Twitter status?

I do this in advance so right now my FB status is: I made it through my 12 hour day at work. Another one to come Monday!

Saturday Six

This is my first time jumping on board, but I'm going to do it. I'm a little late, but hey better late then never right?

  I'm joining up with the lovely Ashlee @ Love Comma Ashlee for a fun meme for Saturday!

1.)  Tell us one nasty habit you have--we all know you have one!  

My nasty habit...smoking. I know it's disgusting, but it's oh so hard to quit.

2.)  You are able to hire one of the following-which is it? Maid, Chef, Gardener.

Hands down I want the maid. I could totally use some help keeping this house up to hubby's standards. And with working 12 hour days lately to cover for a sick co-worker, I really could use it.

3.)  Would you sacrifice one of your fingers for half a million dollars?

A half million...nope I don't think so. A full million and that baby is GONE!

4.)  Tell us how your husband popped the question? (If you're not married how would you want someone to pop the question?)

Which time? The first time, on the back deck of our home. Nothing special or romantic. The second time, Christmas at his parents. It was so sweet, we opened presents, he states he has to use the restroom, comes back in and I here his mom say "Oh my" and start crying. Crazy lady why are you crying? Well around comes hubby, gift in hand down on his knee, and asks. So now I'm crying, his mom is crying, the girls are crying...and I say "YES" I love my MIL so no she's not really crazy.

5.)  Is there anyone that has ever done you so wrong that you just can't forget or forgive them...at all?

I try really really hard not to live with hatred in my heart, but yes there is someone who has done me so wrong, I will never forgive him....EVER!

6.)  Do you believe that people should wait until marriage to have sex? Why or why not?

I want to say yes, of course they should, absolutely. I didn't, so I know the likelihood is slim to none. But what happens if one does wait, and then find they can not be satisfied by their spouse, then what? So maybe...if it's a long term relationship.

A New Lease On Life

Well after being away for a while and not posting or visiting much (sorry), I think I'm geared up and ready to be back in the game. The past few weeks have been extremely busy and stressful, so instead of gripe on here, I just took time away. Ok so I crawled into my little hole and had some good ol' fashioned self pity. Then after a round with an intestinal virus, and some very intense back pain, and two rounds of pink eye...I'm back!

 

So as some of you may have read in my last post my daughter and I started a blog together. She wants to blog, and I'm not willing to let her speak to the WWW by herself, so we will do it together. Maybe one day I will change the name of the blog and let her take over, but for now, this is how I feel safe doing it. So be sure to go over and visit us at the new blog.

I'm working on finding other things to focus on. First being my debt! As you will see I have added a ticker at the top of my blog. This will hold me accountable! Now I have all of the world to show I am paying my debts off. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not crazy in the hole in debt, I don't even have $1,000 in debt, but I wanna owe nobody nothing and that's my plan. So I've started with the first credit card to be paid off and then I will do the second one.

At the bottom I have added a savings ticker, because I really want to have money saved to use for Christmas this year instead of using credit cards. So here's to paying off debt and building savings all at the same time!

So to pay off debt and save money  I must have a plan right? Of course I do. Not sure if you all know it or not but I am a ChaCha guide. So to pay off the credit cards, I will be doing some extra ChaCha work. So be sure to text us and ask us a question at 242242. You can ask any question, we will text you an answer back, and hey the best part...you will be helping me pay off my credit card! Now that's giving back to the community! Oh and by the way, ChaCha service is completely free. You will not be charged for using their service. NOW if you don't have a text plan, you will get standard text messaging rates.

To save money, I've set up an automatic withdrawal out of checking into savings once a month. In addition to that, when the next pay check comes around any money that I have left in the account goes into savings. Is it a great plan? Maybe not. But it's my plan and I will find out if it works or not.

Hope y'all have a great weekend. I'll be back to regular posting next week!

A New Blog

So Lexi has been bugging me about creating a blog, and I thought, what better way than to create a blog about teen fashion and store sales. So tonight we sat down and created our new blog together. She's in blog heaven!
