Is it really only Tuesday? Ughh..this has already been the longest week. Maybe it is the craptastic weather we are having here in Dallas. I digress.
Miss Priss was feeling a little under the weather this weekend ((no pun intended)) so we stayed in our pj's all day saturday. I cloroxed and lysoled the entire house while she stayed snuggled up in my bed watching kahtoons with a low grade fever. Luckly, it only lasted one day, and she was back to her ornry sweet self first thing Sunday morning.
While I was disenfecting and Ava was resting, Justin was cleaning his truck and taking it to C@RM@X. At 8:45 p.m. on Saturday evening, we became a ONE CAR FAMILY! I can't believe we actually took the plunge steps towards our finanical goal, but I am thinking the end result will be SOOO worth it ((atleast I hope so)). See, before Saturday night, we were making 2 car payments. By selling his truck, we now only have my car payment and it will be paid off by JANUARY instead of JUNE 2011. See the plus? Aaannnddd, I ride the train every day to work, so our biggest challenge will be the weekends, which means we will be forced to communicate and be considerate of each other's needs. I know it won't always be easy, and we will for sure have a few knock-down-drag-out fights, but it is such a great thing for our family. So far, we have survived the last two mornings without a single argument, and Ava has lllooooovvvveeeddd having both Mommy and Daddy taking her to and picking her up from school. Fingers crossed we will continue to make progress and become a debt-free family by March! ((that is the plan anyway)) I just tell myself that it is temporary, and that by doing this, we will be able to save up enough money for a new house!
Tonight I have to
This one...
So not an A-list celebrity. But she has her own tv show. And she is here in Dallas. and I am meeting her. So please just let me say she is a celebrity. thankyouverymuch.
Chef Blythe Beck. If you haven't heard of her, check out her fun little show on Oxygen! ((I mostly love it because it is here in Dallas, and I know some of them! Ha!))
Happy Tuesday Everyone!!!

Way to go on getting one car payment!! such a good feeling!:)
I think she definitely counts as a celebrity! And high five for taking the plunge and getting rid of a car! :) I cant wait to hear how much of a difference you notice in your everyday expenses without having that extra vehicle for gas, insurance, etc.. :)
