buy a Mac (read all 3 entries…)
Did it!

Can’t believe I didn’t do this sooner! It’s sooo much easier than a PC and seems that so much more is capable on it.

I bought the least expensive and least powerful laptop…MacBook…and it’s so AWESOME! I paid so much more 7 years ago for a PC laptop that was supposed to have amazing capabilities…and even with a ton of upgrades it couldn’t do half of what the Mac can do.

Definitely worth it, so hunt around for whatever deals you can find. In the end, I believe I’ll wind up paying less for a Mac than for a PC. With a Mac, it appears the cost is up front…but it seems to come with just about everything I need. :)

Yes, I <3 my Apple! :)



pay off my car
Additional payments

I’ve been making additional payments to principal and my plan when I finish paying off the car is to put those payments toward my house. I’m excited to be done with it. At this point I have 3 years left on my car loan, but at the rate I’m going I should be able to pay it off in half the time (1 1/2 years). Yea!



survive my first year of teaching (read all 2 entries…)
Spring break is winding down...

:( BUT…I accomplished so much from a personal aspect in only 1 week – taxes, pest control, a/c maintenance, car maintenance, house cleaning, etc. And only 12 more weeks of school before the summer vacation! :D I think I’ll be looking for another career path altogether. I’ve been giving this job the best I can, but I really need more “balance” in my life and I don’t see that happening in this career. So the light at the end of the tunnel is burning bright right now. Call it naive, but I’m too excited and relieved right now to be nervous about what comes next.
