I figured I should round out and recap this month’s goal post, since I haveĀ whole “2021 goal post” that will be coming anyway. Money – – I did well and kept my holiday spending in check. I bought some gifts for the people in my life who matter most, but didn’t go overboard, as […]

Somehow I got so wrapped up in life and everything else that I seem to have forgotten to post my updates!? Whoops! That’s ok though, because a large part of the reason I have been behind is because 1. I have been crushing goals, 2. I have been exploring and thoroughly enjoying my new(ish) relationship/partner […]
It has been a HOT one in August and this did nothing for my motivation to be honest. It was SUPER hard to want to work out and cook (in particular) with this crazy heat wave … and my house with no AirCon. Anyway, let’s see how we did in August and where we want […]
I’m a couple days into the new month – but let’s see where we’re going and how we did! Money – July – Still working on the debt paying – and thanks to my diligent saving, when an unexpected bill (read car maintenance ugh) came up for $850.00+, I was able to pay for it […]

While most people […]

For years I wanted to be older, and now I am. – Margaret Atwood There’s some truth. I remember thinking when I was young(er) about how much I wanted to “grow up” and do all those “adult” things that seemed so fun! I can’t really say if things turned out how I expected, or anticipated, […]
Read about my June 2020 Goals here – but let’s see how we did and talk about where we want to go! Money – June was the first month with no car payment! Whooo!!! The debt slaying focus is still number 1 – so making every attempt to use those funds wisely when I do, […]
With COVID restrictions changing and in some places relaxing (slightly) it can be so exciting and tempting to jump into life! Enthusiasm and a bit of “cabin fever” can have anyone chomping at the bit to go to dinners in a restaurant, have a cookout with friends, head to a pub, or stroll along the […]
