become financially responsible (read all 4 entries…)
I think this is the closest I've ever come 5 months ago

I check my bank account online almost every day. I know how much money I have at all times. Every bill gets paid electronically on time. I’m even over-paying some of the credit cards. I can see how it’s possible that one day the credit cards will be paid off.

The very very best part is that I have absolutely no more negative feelings associated with getting the mail and checking my accounts. Totally gone. I even look forward to getting the mail these days. This is huge.

I won’t mark this done yet and I can’t decide right now what “done” means, but I feel like this should remain open for now.

learn how to make fondant icing (read all 2 entries…)
This just fell into my lap 5 months ago

That babyshower cake in the previous entry never happened however when my niece requested a Hannah Montana guitar cake I knew the time had come.

I had a couple of problems getting the fondant onto the cake but other than that it was a great experience. It helped that I made all the components over a three day period. I was only 45 minutes late to the party! ;)
