Here I Go Again On My Own

So, it's me again. It has been more than a year since I started this blog to write about the randomness of my life, but in the mean time, life has thrown some serious curve balls and I'm a million miles away from where I was the day I started this project.

But here I am again, armed with new material and ready to pick up where I left off. I hope.

You see, the problem is that, even though I have some great ideas, with all the "mom" blogs and other personal type blogs out there I'm not really sure where this one fits in exactly. Also, even with all my great ideas comes an enormous lack of motivation. I have the ability to write, just not necessarily the drive to do so.

But like I said, here I am again, determined to make a go of this and see where the path leads me. I do hope it's somewhere fun.

How To Deal

Today I stopped in at a bookstore to pick up a book about personal finances.  To be perfectly honest, as a 30 year old woman, I've never once in my life sat down and budgeted my income.  Not once... ever!  Now, to be even more honest, this has gotten me into a bit of trouble along the way.  Being young, single, working two jobs, making a lot of money and having a perfect credit score made me feel invincible.  I took advantage of it and...

Back to the reality of today.  I'm now married.  Am currently un-employed.  Am back in school.  Am buried under a monster school loan and a pile of other debt.  Am trying to get my personal finances and my life under control.  To be honest, I have no idea how to do this.  So today I scowered the seemingly endless supply of "get rich quick" books, investing schemes and the "do what I did" advice from every jerk whose ever made a buck and finally found one book that I think will help.  At least, it seems reputable enough.

So now I'm sitting here with a book of action, a pile of coupons, a grocery list and some sort of plan.  Let's see where it goes from here.
