my blog, at last! This will, of course, be short and sweet since I'm taking a few minutes from my job (bad Darla, BAD!!!!)to write a few, brief sentences. I have been lurking in the blog background long enough and decided to boldly go where just about everyone else has already gone before. Yea, I'm not much of an adventurer you could say. 
Anyhoo, this week has been a wonderful week for me since I just sold two items on Half.com and made about 43.00 from those two sales. I was very low on funds and worried about how I was going to make it until next Friday and now it's all good. This is the first time I have sold anything online before but it has really motivated me to go through my vast collection of crap and start listing just about everything I own with the exception of my beloved son and cat. I was so excited when I got my first sale. I wish I had done this last year before I went to Half Price books and sold off some books, cds, and dvds to them. I know that I could not have made more than 1.00 or 1.50 for each item and on Half.com I sold one item for 7.50 and another for 35.00. True, the latter was a multiple (4) CD item but the former was a single CD. I would love to kick myself in the butt for all the potential money that I have lost that could have been applied to my debt. ARGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! I WANT OUT OF DEBT!!! I'm sick of it! I looked at how much I pay in interest each month on my credit cards and loan and it just made me ill to see how much money I'm wasting. Totally NOT cool. I can't wait until the day that I'm free and clear of all debt and pay cash for everything with a big, FAT savings and retirement account on the side. Then I can say the same thing I said the day I left my ex-husband (which, appropriately enough, was also Martin Luther King day), "Free at last, free at last.....Thank God Almighty, I'm free at last!!!"
God Bless!
So I begin......

You are right, Aleta. It does take getting mad enough. I'm tired of the whole living paycheck to paycheck thing and I don't swallow the world's view that this is the way it has always been and will always be unless you are super rich. There are so many different things that I want to do with my life (travel, take college courses, etc.) but the one thing I DON'T want to do with my life is live it in debt. Peace out, my frugal friends!
