Went to the gym at 12:30am, I love the fact that their open so late because I can take my time a really learn how to use the euipment. Tonight was the ab machine with the medicine ball, I still haven't figured out how to use the tv on the elipitical. I hit power and nothing
In the end $2 was added to my challenge

Being lazy cost me an extra $14.12 towards my cc. I went to sonic today and had dinner for $9.06 plus a $1 tip so I always match this amount and pay towards my challenge (BoA) cc. I just did not feel like making dinner at all

When ever I go to the dentist it always cost me an arm and a leg, today was $150 but I am too upset to go into details. Any how I went to Penney's and got 1 Christmas gift for $2.28 I love those Penney's coupons. Next hit the gym so $2 applied to the cc

I am so sore, went to the gym and worked out over an hour. hmmm I don't know if it's all new to me, why I enjoy going or because I'm single and killing time but either way I enjoy it and look forward to going tomorrow. In one week I have lost 1lb I'm really not trying to lose weight but hey I'll take it. In addition, I am beating my distance on the elipitical every day
So $2 more paid on the cc for the challenge

I know I know $2 here $2 there but hey it adds up. I paid $2 on my cc today (part of my challenge) because I did not go out for lunch. I am sure the people at the bank are wondering why I am paying only $2 here and there but it works for me. Thus far this week I have paid almost $100 on my cc, not just in $2 but doubling up when I did dine out in addition to the $2 for going to the gym. I'll have to post later tonight the total, I am actually curious

Added another $2 to my challenge (BoA CC) went to the gym again last night. I really enjoy going before I was a little nervous but I plug in my iPod and tune every one else out. I can really feel the difference. Not only am I getting fit but I am knocking down my cc debt as well because every time I go to the gym I add $2

I added another $4 to my challenge (BoA CC) in all a total of $10 today
why another $4 well $2 for not buying lunch and another $2 for going to the gym
It's strange I almost did not make it to the gym today but I was feeling sort of down so I made myself go and I am feeling much better. I may go back a little later to use the step machine depending on how I am feeling

Today I paid $6 on my BoA CC for the challenge
$2 for not buying breakfast today
$2 for not buying lunch yesterday and
$2 for going to the gym yesterday
at teh rate I am going I should have this cc paid off by May or April or even sooner

Thank goodness I am rockin' and rollin' with this challenge, today I made breakfast so again I added $2 to my challenge and I am going to return the showel gel today so that will be another $20 added back to the cc

Since I have been back and blogging I have managed to not do any wasteful spending and add to my challenge in attempt to pay my debt off for the third time...lol
Today I returned two items a pair of unwanted or needed stockings for $10.64 and a small speaker for my Ipod for $10.53 both were purchased on the cc. Tomorrow I will retun some body wash and shower gel for $20 that I do not need because I have a ton of it, as well as a carry on that I bought for $24
Once again I forgot my lunch or snack so I spent $3.40 at BK so $8.80 was added to my challenge, well paid on the cc plus I went to the gym so $2 was also added to my cc as well

Well I wasn't planning on going to the gym today but I made myself go since I am paying for it and glad I went.
So $2 went towards my challenge which is the BoA CC.

I was unable to pack lunch today because my uncle ate all the left overs which I was not aware so I ended up buying lunch costing me $9.89 so I paid $19.78 on the BoA CC for my challenge. I have decided that when ever I eat out I am doubling this amount and paying down my cc which is part of my challenge. Oh well

Paid $2 on the BoA cc...I am so proud of myself I have not been dining out so I have been adding a couple bucks to the cc. Hopefully I will get it down ASAP

Paid $2 on the BoA CC (challenge)since I went to the gym. I figure $4 a day for 7 days is $28 and for the month it will be $112 which is a plus
Tomorrow I will make breakfast and pack my lunch which is another $4 in addition to going to the gym. As long as I am blogging/being accountable... I should be able to get this debt down again

Did not buy breakfast or lunch today so $5.00 was paid on the BoA CC

Well guys I have been so busy with politics and volunteering on the Obama campaign that I have not had time to do anything even school work
It is amazing because I am a registered democrat and was really considering voting for McCain until he chose Palin as a running mate but that is neither here nor there and we all have our own opinions . But what surprises me is that I am volunteering, something that I have never done, ever
But I am glad to report that I finally got my cc debt down again, I took the money out of my challenge. I am a shame to say that I racked it up by shopping and dental work and not posting which keeps me accountable for my actions
So after the election you should hear more from me on a regular basis, hope every one’s ok
Oh and ceejat thanks for the site info, now I am hooked...lol

Hi guys
I am still alive, just been caught up in this election. I am 34 and have voted in every single election since 18 even local ones and lately I have been sleeping and eating politics; blogging on Ireport.com. In addition, I have managed to rack up my credit card and not save anything towards my house/challenge, falling back into old habits I will post new figures within the next few days. But I must say I miss every one here and I am sure we have some new bloggers as well, sorry I haven't took the time to welcome you so I am say it now WELCOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One thing I can say is that you guys keep me on track and I feel so guilty for back sliding and not posting which I contribute to my back sliding

Miss you and will back real soon

Wasn't a bad day today. First I had breakfast at home so $2 went towards my cc then I worked a half day so lunch was also prepared at home (another $2 towards the cc). Took a short nap and then hit the dentist, I can't wait for all this to be over. I had to be fitted for my permenant bridge and the next visit should complete everything.
After the dentist I hit the library, I was unable to locate my library card so it cost me $4 to replace and $2.40 in late fees I am always late on my returns and I do not have a good reason as to why. Be that as it may I rechecked out the book I did not finish reading and two movies for the weekend

I received our electric bill today and it was $197 and my mom had the nerve to say " did you see how much the electric bill was?" I was so annoyed. Because she is the one that falls asleep with the TV on, leaves everything plugged in and is here all day with the a/c on. But what can I do other than pay it
On a different note I had breakfast at home so $2 went towards the CC and then I had McDonald's for lunch so $3.31 went towards CC.
I tried hitting the beach but once again as soon as I pulled up the rain began shortly after
And last butnot least $3 went towards the challenge, earnings from a Pinecone survey

I have a crush on one of our patient's. Problem is how do I approach him(guess I am old school). I do know he is single with no kids and self employed, problem is he is about 10 years older than I am but that is about it and really isn't a promble. Oh well I guess the real problem is how do I approach him?
On a diffrerent note, I did not eat out today so $4 went to the cc

Well yesterdy I was really upset, and just decided to Hell with the part time job, well I guess things happen for a reason because my brother has all this extra stuff that he wants to sell, so I am going to post them on Ebay and he said I can keep the money made and not only that I have a friend who moved to NY and I have been dying to go so I am going to book a weekend trip.
I transferred $1600 from the house fund to pay cc, but I only paid $1000 I have to balance the account and wait for some oustanding payments to post before I make the final payment either way the cc is under $1000

I did not eat out today so I paid 2 on the cc, my how quickly it adds up I know I have the EF but I hate to see it dwindle down but I went ahead and tranferred the $1000 to pay on the cc; at least it would cover part of the $1250 dental work

I had McDonalds for lunch today so $5 is paid on the cc to match what I could have saved

Inspired by sillyoleme I decided to pay off the BoA cc so I took $2200 out of my house fund. I don't mind because I am easily going to get it back to $7642.45 in no time. With a tax refund coming due in addition to the so called stimulas package I will be back at $7600 in no time. I have been battling with this for a while, even though it was zero percent interest until july I wanted it cleared. I really did not pay it off completely because the dentist owes me a credit of about $300 plus I have some clothing that I bought that I am returning so once I get my refund and return those items it will be a zero balance Thanks sillyole me...it seems like I am back on board with have no debt

I went in yesterday to my part time job they actually had some one on call in case I did not show...like I would really not show. It wasn't too bad but I did let one of the residents know what was going on and she was just as upset as I was but oh well. I figured they will be trying to get rid of me real soon so I will just stick it out and try and sock away my checks until they do. I finally applied for a summer intern, I have definately got to get on the ball with that...but haven't heard a thing
I was also able to get some studying in (accounting)and I have still not tackled my taxes I have no idea why because I am due for a refund
For the last week I was able to add $8 to my challenge and $8 to the cc for brown bagging it, unfortunately I had to buy buy breakfast because my uncle managed to eat an entire half loaf of my bread with his dinner. But I will not go there regarding that

Three days in a row that I have brown bagged it so once again $2 added to the challenge and $2 on the cc

Very slowly I am getting back on track. Today I made my breakfast so $2 went to the challenge and I also had luch at home and $2 was paid on the CCs. I got about 20 minutes of studying in and will be heading to class later, just happy that I was able to complete my assignments

Today was a much better day. I did not eat out at all so $2 went towards the CC and I got a $6 check for a survey that I must have completed in which I totally forgot about but was happy for. So I added $6 to my challenge
I still have not heard a word from that idiot boss of mine, maybe she is thinking of a way to fire me.
I finally sat down and did my homework for accounting since class is tomorrow, I feel comfortable other, than a few questions but other than that all is well on the home front

Warning this is a long post:
Wow seems like my year is not getting any better. First I did not get a raise this year, next I get the flu, some kind of way I fell back into old habits and upped my CC bill, mom has an infection with her toe, and my older brother who has been on his job 24+ years was just fired because he won�t stop smoking pot and did not pass a random drug test. I have not added to my challenge like I am suppose and am $2k behind on my goal. In addition y cable bill is now up due to increase rates $71

And today I get an email from the idiot I have as a boss on my second job stating that I dropped the ball. Basically a resident was discharged from one hospital and moved to another on Friday, I work on Saturday. Some one called and told security he did nothing with the information or from what I gather now informed no one. I then get a call from her neighbor who is concerned and followed �up as much as I could, once told by the security guard and former supervisor that he knew I assumed that my boss knew as well and went home

Here is a copy of the email I sent her as my response and of course she has yet to respond and I refuse to take the blame for this, the only thing I would have done differently was note in the log that I was informed by another employee that he too knew about the patient being discharged:

Let me clarify, I was informed by a resident that she was unable to reach Ms. X and that she called the hospital and was informed that she had been discharged. I did follow up, I thought by contacting the CC (skilled facility) in which I was told that she was not there, I later contacted the hospital and was on hold I'll say about 20 minutes (because of some emergency) I was then told that she was discharged. In addition, I called the resident's home and no answer. I also sent R (security) to check her apartment, after he checked her apartment I was told she was not there. So I re-read the notes in case I missed something....and nothing noted, had N (security guard/former supervisor) noted/followed up on Friday I think the problem would have been cleared up then. Anyhow, since nothing was noted I called Ms. X back trying to get as much information from her as possible, such as when she last spoke with her, and what the conversation was about. In the meantime N was in last night and mention to me that he knew Ms. L had been discharged from the hospital/not that she simply went out...so if he knew then I assumed that at the most J (supervisor) knew and what more follow up is needed if a former supervisor who knows company protocol is aware of situation as well has his/her manager is aware, what else is needed? What additional follow-up is needed?
I do not attend to come across angry but it does angry me that once again I am left holding the blame when clearly the situation was neglected prior to my shift an entire 24-hour later.
Have you spoken to N as to why nothing was noted? And if J was even aware? or anyone one else for that matter
If you have any questions please call xxxxx if I do not answer leave a message I am going to the library or email me I check my email on a regular basis

Now I am ticked off because not only did she accuse me of not doing my job but she did my annual review in which I only worked with her a total of 6 hours that right 6 hours for the year and was told that my appears was not u to par, mind you I wear a uniform that is always cleaned and iron. For the measly few dollars that one makes this little job is so stressful the entire place is ran like a circus. People are promoted based on who they know and not what they know

Well my mom is still a little down but I am praying that there is some other alternative.
I, on the other hand am getting back to normal; meaning I added my weekly $25 to the my challenge in addition to paying $4 on my CC because I ate out today
