TV & Debt Talk

Happy Friday peeps!

Thursday was pretty uneventful. I went home from work, walked with Heather, washed the bed linens, folded laundry and caught up on DVR.

Speaking of TV - if you're not watching the following shows YOU NEED TO BE!

The Middle (ABC)

You have got to watch the Mother's Day episode! LOL

Modern Family

I have no clue how to get a youtube video posted on here. But this is one of my favorite clips from the show!

I don't know if I have mentioned this obsession before but I LOVE the show TRUE BLOOD.

It premieres June 13th and I might be just as excited about season 3 as I am finding out the sex of our baby. Okay not really!

This show is like a dark comedy with hot vampires.

I have read 4 out of the 8 books from the Sookie Stackhouse series. I never thought I'd like this kind of supernatural stuff but the storylines are so good between all the characters!

What are your favorite shows?

I also received this in the mail today FREE from a new mom program with my insurance. I chose a DVD because I thought Chris is more likely to watch a baby DVD versus read a baby book! Plus when I'm holding my little angel nursing or something or trying to calm the baby down at 3 am this might be something I can pop into the dvd player! Ha!

I'm taking Chris to go look at baby furniture this weekend. We will not purchase anything until we know what we're having but I think it's smart to kind of prepare financially for these kind of purchases!

Speaking of finances - I have this bill sheet I use every month. I keep record of all our debt balances (car loans, student loans, credit cards, furniture payments) monthly so I can see the progress we are making each month. According to my bill sheets since June 2009 we have paid off $11,582.59 in debt! Woohoo! Out of 7 credit accounts I have eliminated one student loan and two credit cards completly. On top of that the 4 remaining credit accounts (student loan, car loan, furniture, polaris) all have dramatically lower balances and will be paid off in 1 year because our balance on all of them is less than the debt we have paid off already! Woohoo!

I really would love to buy a more family friendly vehicle before the baby comes like these:

But now I'm thinking I should just wait until we have all these debts paid off. The thought of having 2 car payments right now makes me want to puke. I hate making car payments!

I mean it will stink taking a car seat in and out of my 2 door car that is PAID OFF! :) Seen here.

But it's only temporary, right?

Have a GREAT weekend!!!!!

Great weekend and even GREATER tax return!!

My weekend was awesome. Girls night and Dear John were fabulous. Of course it veered from the book but I still loved it! Saturday I got my hair did! It's super cute! I got a lot more trimmed off than I thought I would but it feels so much healthier and thinner now. I stuck with low lights and got zero highlights so it's more natural looking and less maintenance. I will try and take a picture sometime this week. Yesterday was the super bowl. Yay Saints! I think I have a new crush and that is Drew Brees (sp?) did you see him crying while holding his son? Was that Hallmark or what??

I failed at working out this weekend and ate horrible. Oh well! I enjoyed myself and everyone needs that!!!

Now the important part - having a home business proved to work wonders with our tax return. I can proudly announce that when our tax return comes in our bank account we will be able to do the following:

1. Pay off small balance credit card

2. Pay off large balance credit card

(THIS WILL MAKE US CREDIT CARD DEBT FREE!!!!!)

3. Buy new tires for both of our cars (snoozefest)

I am just so ecstatic about paying off our credit card debt. That leaves us with a huge advantage when paying off all our other debts this year. Woohoo!! I would love to be taking our large tax return and use it for our home or plan a trip but seriously... there is so much peace of mind knowing I can pay off my credit cards!!!!

Have a great Monday!!
