1. That it took the threat of an over the top, girly bed for Barry to suggest using the queen bed we already have to Claire’s room until she’s older and we can save up for a bedroom set. I loved the fact that he presented it like it was the greatest suggestion ever made, even though he’s shot the idea down several times:)
2. Plugging away at work. I have a horrible cough, but it wasn’t too bad to make it through work.
3. I’m sleeping well because of the cough syrup with codine:)

How I did it: When I got married, I had about $20,000 in credit card debt. It accumulated from the 10 months I had a house payment and rent to pay. It also accumulated from living beyond my means when I first moved to the big city. The group I hung out with went to a lot of movies, concerts, and games.I took out the Home Equity Line of Credit after our marriage. I paid at minimum $400/month towards it. Some months I paid $… Read how I did it…
How I did it: It was easier when I could do it at work:0 I just log in every day for my quick entry. The people that I've met through this goal are incredible and supportive. I can't believe they want 150 words for this. Jeez. How picky. I'm feeling like I'm writing a report for school. Why do they need 150 words. I'm just typing to fill in the requirement. Read how I did it…
How I did it: The menu was the hardest part. It kept changing on me. I also had to work that morning, so Mom had to start the turkey and Barry did the potatoes. It turned out really well, though. Read how I did it…

Dinner at Macaroni Grill then browsing at Furniture stores. I found the perfect bed for Claire, but Barry isn’t convinced.
I am doing a good job when I’m tracking my eating. I’m not doing well at working out. This cough is killing me. I’ll get back to it, though, when I can breathe without coughing up a lung!
