So far behind, but lots of updates

January 3rd, 2009 at 03:31 pm

I've missed a few days here and I feel so far behind. Not only have I NOT wrapped up my 2008 spending and reviewed it all, but I haven't posted any 2009 goals either. It's been a whirlwind few days, some good but some very bad.

    Sorry about your MIL. It sure puts a damper on the holidays but good to know she is no longer suffering. I too have the weight loss goal but not doing so well just yet. A winter cold/flu has thrown me for a bit of a loop so still trying to get over it.
