And I’m STILL plugging away!

June 6, 2019 By: Lucy8 Comments

Hubs came home for ten days, so I didn’t get much time behind my computer.  Thanks to those of you who checked in on me.  I’m still trying to catch up but wanted to give a quick update as to how we did in May. [Read more…]

Plugging Away

May 19, 2019 By: Lucy10 Comments

I’m still here and still plugging away at our darned debt.  There hasn’t been a lot going on, hence the lack of posts.  I did manage to send another $450 to our furnace debt, bringing the balance down to $4,900.  No change with our Visa as the billing cycle doesn’t close for another week or so.  When the bill does come, I’m ready!

This and That

May 10, 2019 By: Lucy9 Comments

It has been well over a week since I updated the blog.  Not good!  I wish I had a valid reason, but my lack of doing so is pretty much a lot of “this and that” happenings. [Read more…]

Update Time 4/30/2019

April 30, 2019 By: Lucy14 Comments

We are at the end of the month, so I feel that I should give an official update.  For those who have been following along, you already know we paid off the remaining $2,500 owed to Citi.  So not to confuse, $2,500 was our starting balance for April.  For good measure, I checked to make sure our final payment posted.  Balance is a zero. What a beautiful thing!  So how about the rest? [Read more…]

Time for some good news!

April 26, 2019 By: Lucy18 Comments

Lately, I feel like most of my posts are all gloom and doom.  But, right now, I do have some good news! As of this coming Monday, Citi will be paid off in full!  I wasn’t sure whether or not we’d be able to pull it off.  But thanks to Hub’s having a bigger check than anticipated, we will.  For good measure, I’m even sending an extra $25 towards paying off our furnace.  That way I can now officially say that is the new target of our snowball.  The year has been a tough one, so we really needed this win.

Too Much Water

April 26, 2019 By: Lucy9 Comments

I’m not even sure where to start this blog post.  I’ve had a few tiring days involving too much water.  I guess I’ll go back to Monday morning where it all began. [Read more…]

Happy Easter and a Mini Update

April 21, 2019 By: Lucy10 Comments

First of all, I want to wish everyone a Happy Easter.  With the Hubs away, mine was very quiet.  No complaints.  I prefer it that way ~ well, the quiet part that is, not the Hubs being away part! [Read more…]

Dividing up a Lifetime: Part Two

April 19, 2019 By: Lucy8 Comments

Since I’m on a roll with writing about my trip to divide up my dad’s lifetime, I figure I may as well keep on going.  If you missed it, HERE is part one. [Read more…]

Dividing up a Lifetime: Part One

April 19, 2019 By: Lucy8 Comments

The dreaded weekend of emptying my father’s condo is over, or at least it is for me.  Everyone has until the end of this next weekend to remove their items and then whatever remains will be picked up by a local charity.  Aside from dealing with my drama queen sister (more on that later), there is a lot of emotions when it comes to dividing up a lifetime. [Read more…]

Redirected Flight, Redirected Plans

April 12, 2019 By: Lucy6 Comments

Guess who didn’t make it home yesterday?  Hubs.  Guess who is still home?  Me.  So much for making plans.  Unfortunately, Mother Nature had her own ideas, which included a nasty storm.  I could see on the airline tracking that Hub’s flight was within 15 minutes of landing.  Then just like that, it showed as being redirected.  And so were my plans.
