Friend or Enemy?

(NOXQSEZ) — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 13:27:28 PST

One thing I hate about military life is you don't know who to trust. Being a military wife, I've always been open to meeting new people and becoming friends simply because i'll need the support when my husband deploys. Now, I don't even think having friends are even worth the time...

the temptation to just complete the TO DO list barring all costs!

Mostly the TO DO list involves completing gift shopping. When time becomes short, I start feeling desperate and blinded!

Happy Money

Yay! My insurance finally paid a $147 medical bill that I thought I needed to pay in full today. $147 more than I planned this month is a nice little cushion. I am just going to leave it in checking because we have a lot of bills this month between Christmas and paying for propane.

Update to: Please help me interpret this conversation

(Momsents) — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 12:39:04 PST

I was in a snit yesterday when I posted about a conversation pertaining to gift-giving in my family this season.

I need to preface this by saying that I spend time perseverating over gifts. Is it the right color? Will it be liked? Will is go with home color schemes? Etc.

Rosemary for remembrance?

(My English Castle) — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 12:22:08 PST

I bought a rosemary "tree" before Thanksgiving at the local grocer. It was so pretty, and although I have a small rosemary plant already, I thought it would be a nice fragrant Christmas decoration.

In two days, half the plant was dead and shedding needles like crazy. I nursed...

One desperate phone call

I didn't realize it has been so long since I'd had something to write about! Here it is...

Back in mid-November, I wrote that I had forgotten one of my credit card payments until 2 hours after the cutoff to get the payment in (online). I was so mad at myself, but I went ahead...

I told you about my curveball my husband's ex threw our way a month or so ago... here is a new tidbit of information that I am mad about, but oh well. It's not worth the fight since I am done shopping for them.

This weekend, my husband and Lizard went to the mall to get my Christmas...

What to do? Quit and go to school, get divorced, going crazy?

Just4Samples@yahoo.com (CouponAddict) — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 10:34:47 PST

I am really not myself today and well yesterday was not much better. The little things that DH does every day to get my goat are just not rolling off my back.

I think I REALLY REALLY want a D WORD!! I have been thinking about it a lot lately and have been trying to just suck it...

Sweet Walgreen's Deal!

neroath@hotmail.com (Nance) — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 10:23:39 PST

The newspaper had a Walgreen's ad insert today. In it are two coupons. One is for 10 Wal-itin tablets, which is their generic "Claritin" non-drowsy 24 hour allergy medication. With the coupon you can get up to four packages (10 each) for 99 cents each. The regular price is $7.99...

Tax Time

lartiga@gmail.com (Analise) — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 10:19:19 PST

December is a spendy month for many people, and it certainly is for us because it's the month property taxes are due. I generally pay our property taxes in early December, so today I wrote checks totaling a very tidy sum. This will take care of the first half of the property taxes....

Upcoming cash crunch (just me venting)

crystal.pilon@gmail.com (Crystal) — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 09:50:32 PST

Must be that time of year. For some reason, each January just towards the end I have a cash crunch. Its not that we don't have enough money because when January is over we always have excess, its simply the way things fall. This year its being caused by the expected but unknown at...

Just4Samples@yahoo.com (CouponAddict) — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 09:16:59 PST

I am thinking of renaming my blog....SugaMaMa's Because sometimes that is what I feel like.

I feel like I work and work just so DH can sit on his ________ and play computer games.

(Missy) — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 08:52:10 PST

For those of you who don't know the fun and excitement of losing your social life to textbooks, there is a week of school called Hell Week. Some people refer to this week whenever they have exams such as the first exam, midterms, and finals. Myself, I usually only complain about it...

It won't happen to us

carriefinn@yahoo.com (Creditcardfree) — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 08:35:39 PST

Layoffs!

My husband works full time for the US Army Reserves, also known as, The Government. I'm usually not a big fan of government, but in this case when it comes to his job security I'm thrilled!

In fact, he is scheduled to get a raise, of 3.9% courtesy of Congress. Any one...

Tuesday

koppurautumnleaf@verizon.net (Koppur) — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 08:01:37 PST

Yesterday was a pretty good day. Spent way too much money on eating out. $12 at DnD for lunch for me and BF and then $20 on dinner for the both of us. Not a huge amount, but we shouldn't have spent any at all. I do need to go to the grocery store today, though, so there will be...

I was quite spoiled on my birthday.

How cute is it? I know dh didn't pick it out for it's cute-ness, so why I was extra surprised. Because it is both functional and cute - hehe.

Actually, this gift was from his family. But he did the researching/picking out.

My Parents Christmas Gift

amy_marshall2007@bellsouth.net (Amy) — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 06:40:50 PST

My mom asked me last month about my mortgage, whether it was on time or how late it was. I told her it was almost 30 days late, but that I wasn't worried. I had reached a point where the stress was literally killing me so I decided that I am doing the best I can and if they decided...
