Finances *cue death march*

ok...one word that will ALWAYS make me cringe...*FINANCES* ugh...just the sound of it sounds horrible...or worse yet *BUDGET* no wait...worse than anything else in the world...i mean the hell of finances..*DEBT*

i hate debt....does anyone like it????? I don't...it's of the DEVIL!!!!! lol

so basically the past few years I've dug myself an financial GRAVE...no pit would be a good word....the Grand Canyon of all financial holes.

ok....so maybe not THAT bad considering there are people out there in thousands and thousands of dollars worth of debt (i pity you...i REALLY do), but on a ratio scale with me being in college and not working that much and living off of my parents wealth (tis a great thing lol) I've acquired alot of debt (ok.....so the majority of it is because of scrapbooking...so it was at least fun acquiring all that debt ;-) )

my best friend ever, Josh, is helping me dig through and out of this financial mess I have created for myself. This past month has been SUPER tight and through a night or two of wanting to scream obscenities to the ceiling, throw my phone out the window, and/or rip Josh's head off I am FINALLY beginning to climb out of this hole. Budget setting isn't fun but I'm starting to see how less stressful my life is about to become and I am SOOOOOOOO looking forward to it!!!!

So...a mini budget is set into place for now until I can meet with Josh in a couple of weeks to set up the "final" big budget....and yes we will be allotting money for scrapbooking (DUH!) lol

*deep breath* this CAN be done! Hopefully this time next year I will be COMPLETELY out of debt and actually have money in savings (*gasp* novel thought for me). First and foremost I am SO grateful that I have my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ beside me every step of the way because I can just place all of this in His hands and with His help (and Josh's) my finances will soon be in order.

So yeah...bottom line...the beauty of having my finances in order is I can start buying SB supplies again!! WOOOOO!!!! lol

until then....I will be putting on my boots throwing my ropes up to God and having him pull me out of this pit :-)

I really need to work on more *original* titles..

ok...so a song I'm ADDICTED to right now is Sway by Pussycat Dolls...I usually don't listen to their music but thanks to Michelle's playlist I heard it while visiting her blog and LOVE IT! lol just the girls voice is incredible!! and the song just rocks anyway!

soooo I miss Photoshop!!! AHHHH when I debugged my computer or whatever it erased it and I can't play on it anymore!!!!!!!!!! My life is over *sigh* and I already used up my 30 trial of PSE 5.0 so that's not an option. I have GOT to remember to grab it the next time I go home..which... speaking of...


HOME...not gonna be there for awhile :-\ Although I will be going with my friend to Pcola just an hour away from home on the 12th of October. Gotta do research for my evolution paper for Human Rights and what better place to do it than Creation Science Evanglism!! DUH!! lol

and that means.....

I GET TO SEE JOSH!!! yayness :-) I miss him like woah :-( I can't WAIT to move so I can be near him! No we're not dating lol he's just my bestest friend in the entire world!!!!! I love him like woah...no lie.

So with this post I'm PROCRASTINATING as always doing my school stuff...I'm SO over it! Get me out of here!! lol
