Thank you ladies for your support and prayers! They are greatly appreciated. I don't have anything clever to post this week since I am maxed out both physically and emotionally, but I do have a few bits of things going on.
* I have several things up on eBay that are selling really well! One is already sold because I had a person email me and ask me to set up a Buy It Now for way more than I expected to get. One of my friends has invited me over next week to look at some stuff of hers that I can sell. I'm very excited.
* I started mystery shopping and it is really fun! The money from this and from my eBay sales will be going to my student loan debt. It's a bit like throwing pennies into the Grand Canyon, but every little bit helps, adds up, and saves me from compounding interest!
* My laptop order was cancelled. I'm a little relieved since I felt guilty spending several hundred dollars when my current computer works fine AND I have so much student loan debt. That begs the question: Are you ever free to make large purchases when you have that much debt? This topic deserves a post of its own.
* I have my dissertation data almost completely scored. Next week I will begin analyzing it!
* I went to J.C. Penney to look at their clearance racks and did not buy a thing for myself. There were a couple of cute tops, but I don't really need any. I think something is wrong with me since I started thinking "$5.97??? This really should be less. Like $2.97." The cheaper that I get clothing, the less I am willing to spend in the future. I did buy a little baby boy onesie for $1.97. I have several baby, birthday, and anniversary gifts in the works.
That's all for now!

I think the same things when I shop clearance. "Well, maybe, if it were under 5 bucks, ..."
So I actually spent my (our) Christmas money at Office Depot the other night, on a laptop, but we went up and got the $599 model, for the sake of longevity.
The desktop system I use now was a Christmas gift in 1999. We deliberately chose a laptop that we hoped would last 7 years.
Haven't told one of our daughters yet that it plays DVDs. he hee.
