Happy Saturday!

Time to start the new process. I know longer want to feel as if I am not doing anything to make life better for myself.

I am working 2-11 pm today. I was suppose to start at 4pm but they called and asked if I would come in early! Yep I sure will. Right now I am splitting between 2 stores. The goal is to get to only one strore so I have full time hours.

I grabbed a ramien noodle meal that I had to eat while at work. So I should not have to buy anything but a bottle of water while I am there. Next time I will bring the bottle with me and just fill up.

Tomorrow I am meeting a woman by Target. She is buying my Coach wallet. I never use it and do not like it. So instead of sitting in my drawer I am selling it. That money will be used to buy some staples. I want to use up the food I have but do need a few things.

This week I need to figure out what bills need to be paid out of my paycheck. I want to start paying off my medical bills. That is my goal for right now is to get the 519.00 worth of medical bills paid off.

2009 I will be blogging more

Wow! October was the last time I looked this way. I am sorry not only to the people who come here but to myself. I really do enjoy my blog and reading others. I have been thinking the other day about a lot of things - and how I need to really make some changes!

The main reason I think I deserted my blog. Was I felt that I had nothing to offer anyone anymore. I was no longer living in my own apartment. I do not have the options to do some of the frugal things that I did when I was on my own. For example cooking is not easy. Since I share a kitchen with another and she does not share well. I do not hang my laundry either.

Then I realized that I want to make changes! I want to get money saved in the bank. I want to move to my own apartment. I want to find a full time job. So I opened up the Frugal Gazette and even though I can not do everything, it gives me inspiration and it makes me push forward with my goals. So even if I can do all the frugal things I want to do, there are so many that I can do in order to get me where I want to be.

My goals:
1. To pay current bills on time
2. Keep cell phone bill down
3. Get money saved.
4. Keep my taxes in the bank.

So I am making a promise to not only myself but all to those who come to read my blog. Basically this next week I will be making a plan to go forward with on Feb. 1.

So stay tuned...I promise I will be back!
