As of latetly, I’ve been entertaining the idea of possibly turning 2009 into my own financial bailout plan. I’ve proven to myself that I can quit smoking, control my drinking, (Well, only for a week, but I think this is a more permanent change…), and finally my life is relatively stable, so I think I’m really in a good place for it. The plan is to establish a checking/savings account, file taxes for the first time (eek), pay off all of my debt, pay off the car, buy a passport, build an ebay store, and plan a trip to Europe. I’d also like to have a tattoo finished and some dental maintenence as well.  

Am I being unrealistic?

I also realize I’m going to have to discuss all of this with Chris, but I feel like when I bring him my ideas, I only carry out about 15% of them, so I think he may see them as a joke… I’d really like to take December and possibly come out with a tangible outline and possibly find a computer program.

Okay… enough of that.

This Thanksgiving holiday was truly a blessing. Chris met my family for the first time, and I met a few more of his, and both times went totally flawlessly. I really feel like I’ve got a long way to go before I’m the domestic goddess that my mother is.  And I also do remember to finish both Christmas cards and Christmas lists… I think I’m going to do all of that tomorrow. It’s my first real Christmas on my own, and I’m totally hyped about it.
