5. Debt IS addictive! Less than 7 months ago I had ONE debt. The house, and I wasn't doing so bad on it. In fact it's worth a BIT more than I owe. So I look at my life and say, 'I can afford ONE more debt. I NEED a new car.'[need is such a relative word!] So now it's TWO debts but I'm still doing fine. Today, I NEED [there's that word again]a new bathroom vanity. To the tune of $956.24. Did it NEED a Granite top?, did it need to have 6 drawers? or did I NEED dovetail joints? No! to ALL of the above. Honesty prevails---I WANTED, all of the above. So, now it's THREE debts---where does it end???? A new debt for what? A place to wash my hands and store a few personal care items. Wouldn't a hose and a shoe box have done as well?

Well I bet it will be beautiful - and yes it is easier to get into debt -- but you seem pretty wise with your money - so my guess is you will end up ok.
Thank you for the package -- I let the kids wear their shirts today -- They look pretty cute!
thank you for those kind words darling. I'm afraid this re-model will make yours look like 'childs play.' We are SOOOOOO slow. Oh well, everyone needs a hobby. When/if it ever gets done it will be so nice.
The headband was for you. I had fun wearing it last year and thought you might enjoy it. However, it NOW occurs to me that it wasn't so wise to send 0NE! I hope the girls are ok with it.
Ha Ha -- I actually put it away because I knew there would be a fight -- so it will have to be something special for Brandon :) he he--
So it will be my Fourth of July costume? ; )
Hey honey, you know what's better then: the day off, Pepsi, BBQ, and fireworks?
Answer: the day off, Pepsi, BBQ, fireworks, and... ; )
And before I get reprimanded for this comment, just remember, you started it.
