It's an article on pet loss that I ran across this morning on MSN.com. One sentence pretty much sums it up: "I always ( Read more... )

Thanks to everyone who commented in regards to Abbie, both here and on facebook. It means so much ( Read more... )

I don't really feel like going into detail here as to the ins and outs of what happened (mainly because I don't know) but Abbie passed away this morning. She was 5, she was my first baby-before Andy, Zoey, or Camryn (in that order) and my heart is a million pieces today.

Last month, our goal was to have $700 in savings. Which we managed to do!

Then I got to thinking about how Andy and I don't own a home...we actually don't own a whole lot as far as emergency-fund usage goes, and how we'd probably be just fine with $500 in savings-for now, at least. So that is where we are now. We used some of the extra $200 to ( Read more... )

If you ever read this journal, you know that, from time to time, I complain about the acne I've been having the past few months, and how I've switched facewash, etc etc. Well today, I woke up with red, splotchy , itchy patches on my face, and in a couple of those patches, it was ultra dry. Suspecting the newest wash I bought this weekend, but ( Read more... )

1. Go through all of our things that we have at my MIL's house and set aside things to sell on Craigslist/Ebay. It's amazing what we survived without while we were in Oklahoma, and any money we can make selling stuff we don't need can go towards debt.
2. Drive by the co-op i joined and scope it out.
3. Visit one of the "pick-your-own" farms around here and ( Read more... )

One of my main gripes about Oklahoma City is that it is NOT a bargain hunters paradise as far as grocery shopping goes. You have Wal-Mart, which never marks anything down, then you had Homeland, which doubles coupons up to a dollar but only because their prices are so expensive in the first place, and then you have Crest, decent prices but no sale ( Read more... )

We're back in Georgia. Long drive back, and I feel like hell...traveling and getting settled in don't bode well when you're trying to keep it healthy.

Before I begin, did anyone catch Grey's last night? Wow-what a shocker. I turned away every time they showed his mangled face, so I honestly had no idea. Watching it back, I could tell it was him, but WOW. And The Office. Jim Halpert makes me swoon! Ok, tangent over.

In a few hours (weather permitting) we'll finish packing the van, scamper around ( Read more... )

Remember a couple of weeks ago when I wrote down all the sugar I ate? Some of you recommended I switch from coffee to tea, and it just so happens that I'm a fan of black flavored vanilla tea, although I usually drink it at night instead of in the mornings. Not every night, though ( Read more... )
