Last nights dream and a co-workers thoughts

So, basically in my dream..a hot guy is very sweetly hitting on me and it takes me awhile to realize this is what is happening.  I start trying to figure out how to let him know that I'm married and that I'm pretty sure he's not just trying to be my new BFF.

My co-worker (a guy) tells me that is the lamest dream ever!  And why does he think this is lame?  He says given the opportunity to be hit on in one's dream by someone very attractive should NOT end in a confession that one is married! 

Am I lame? 

On a mission

So lately, I've been on a mission of sorts.  I am looking around the house for items to sell to increase income and ways to reduce expenses at the same time. 

Over the weekend and yesterday, I was on quite a roll.  I did have to spend some money to buy some baby food but had coupons to use and saved $1.75!  Although that doesn't sound like much, every little bit means a lot to me.

In the last few days I've sold over $100 worth of items that were no longer being used by us.  I have a potential buyer for one of our three (yes 3!) vacuums.  I love the thought of adding to our wealth instead of always taking away from it.

Just Do It Already

Is it really that hard to make good choices?  If not, should it be?  Some things are meant to be worked for, to be more difficult to attain.  We are an impatient society, not wanting to put in the hard work to build a solid financial and healthy life. 

I could tell you I'm too exhausted from working all day and caring for my family in the evening to exercise or to plan healthy meals.  It is true, I am tired but the reality is I am making the choice not to exercise when I could make the time to do it.

I get tired of the sob stories from friends and family about why they can't manage their finances or why they aren't healthy.  I just want to yell "Just do it already!"
