What do I know.

My birthday has come and passed.  I am 30 years old.  It was a fine birthday, I rushed home from my ABPA Conference in San Antonio to have dinner with my brothers, sisters, sister-in-law and Ana.  They brought my chocolates, flowers, a desk ornament of a man on a toilet, and a purse.  It was lovely.   I enjoyed making a list of 30 things to do before I'm 30.  It gave me something to work on that was challenging, and added that last bit of stress I was missing while trying to juggle everything else going on in my life.  I wasn't able to finish everything, but I don't regret the things I accomplished and I hope it doesn't diminish the things I did accomplish.  To make myself feel better about my shortcomings, and utter failure, I compiled a list of everything else I did instead of everything I thought I wanted to do....... Visited Mexico and ate lots of new things. Went to Disneyland and didn't freak out...too bad. Taught myself Joo...

I Love....Being Semi-Debt Free! I get a lot of anxiety when I have a balance on a credit card, or a loan balance. Since I got my tax refund, which was extra fat this year thanks to my tuition credit and mortgage interest, I was able to pay off my student loan. A huge relief! Now I can officially say, I am only house poor, not school poor and house poor and car poor and credit card poor. Hurray! Progress.
