About Me

Creditcardfree

I graduated with a Finance degree and worked for a major mutual fund company handling group retirement plans. Now I blog and run a household!

I'm the wife of a full time Army Reserve Captain and SAHM to daughters ages 12 and 9. I'm 37 and DH is 40.

We started our marriage 13 years ago with over $10K in credit card debt from a failed business venture. We paid it off as quick as we could with the goal of purchasing our first home. We did this within 15 months of getting married. Now it is time to watch us pay off our home equity loan!!

Extra principal paid to HEL:
Jan '09 = $1009.34
Feb '09 = $3437.00
Mar '09 = $1427.30
Apr '09 = $913.43
Jul '09 = $347.10
Oct '09 = $259.00
Nov '09 = $665.00
Total 2009 = $8,058.17

A little slow around here

April 27th, 2009 at 12:29 pm

The blogs, I mean. It just doesn't seem that too many of us are around. It's probably the wonderful weather we are starting to have because of spring.

I've started working on a project that I started in the fall. I'm refinishing a small dresser. The fall work consisted of stripping the stain off. Recently, I added wood putty to some areas, sanded and primed.

Today, I started painting the drawers a nice black!! I hope to complete this project by the end of the week. I'll post some pictures then.

I've had to buy two cans of stripper, a stripping brush, wood putty, sandpaper and the black paint. I had the primer and brushes! It's not exactly a inexpensive project, but it feels like it when done over time.

I have been busy with house projects. I am still reading them. Just sporadically.

The 16th through the 27th is a dull period for my blog every month, because there are no bills due and no paychecks coming in. The 2nd through the 14th is usually pretty dull, too; come to think of it, most of the excitement revolves around the two payday periods, the 1st and the 15th. LOL. I still read people's blogs pretty much every day.

I should write more about non-financial things, but I just don't think to very often, since I started my blog for such a specific purpose.

I have noticed the same thing. I have been in the dumps and haven't felt like blogging...but getting back in the routine!

I had to stop for a few days just because I was so bummed about the taxes and did not want to constantly complain. I still read everyone's blogs, even tho I dont blog everyday myself.
