GoodBye 2009

I'm starting out with a quote from Amanda Joy, who borrowed it from someone else... "Dear 2009 I didn't mean to do this on my blog but I think it is time to see other people... Sure we had fun, some laughs along the way,but I think it is time for us to move on. I mean, change is hard but it's not you--it's me." This year sucked for me... I saw my debt whirl out of control. I learned how bad at managing money I really am and where my brother got his habits from. What changed you asked... well I found myself with a mortgage that was $300 more than my rent, and I continued to live like I was paying rent. So I enter 2010 being approximately $32,000 in debt, with no internet or cable because for Christmas, Time warner cut me off. I can't blame them... I was behind. Now I enter 2010 with a lot of hopes and a passion to improve upon my financial status. I resolve to get more organized... I used to be. I'm not sure where that went. I resolve to lose at least 50 pounds... that's not a lot and I know I can do it. I turn 40 this year... I need to be healthy for that. I resolve to procrastinate less and to maintain a clean, organized house. I also resolve to blog more. they say this is supposed to be healthy for you and gets your feelings out there... so as 2010 quickly approaches.. I can't wait to show 2009 the door and move on to a more productive year. Later 2009... Nice meeting ya!!
