Saturday, oh Saturday.

I feel like today wasn't even a Saturday. I spent the day at Dave Ramsey Live with my dad, and as soon as I got home, we had dinner, I gave Syd a bath, and then she and I watched Lady and The Tramp and now she's asleep and I'm about to do the same. It was a whirlwind kind of a day. *sigh* Well, Dave Ramsey is a great speaker, and I really learned a lot from it! I can't wait to get started on the baby steps of the Total Money Makeover!! :D After I get my tax return, I'll have baby step one and two knocked out of the way at the same time! I'll be debt free! Yippee! Well, not like it's a huge feat for me or anything right now, since all I have to pay off is my car. But still! No debt! Yay! I just have to keep reminding myself it's not a quick-fix thing, it's a long-term goal. My first goal is to complete the first three baby steps by this summer! Yeah! It's exciting to think about! Anyway, that's about all I've got for right now. :P Huzzah!

Tonight was fun.

Went to Katy to meet Sylvia and her fam and friends for dinner and margaritas. :) Then went to her fam's house to chill, and played the keyboard with her daughter for most of the evening. Allison is SO talented! I hope she keeps up the keyboard/piano and seriously thinks about voice lessons! She has a gift!! ^_^
Now it's time for bed, as always. :)

Using my blog

Oh yeah, if you're curious, click all over the box of fish at the bottom and you can feed them. It's silly, but highly entertaining to me, so kiss my butt! Also, to play the Tetris game, use the arrow keys (duh) and 'X' to contorl the blocks. 'Q' is quit, and 'H' is pause. Enjoy!

Hooray! I have a blog again!

This is my first blog in years! Hooray! Now it's time for bed! Rest! Zzzzzzzz!
