My husband mixed the music for my daughter's varsity cheer squad and they did a Jabawockeez mask dance for it last night. It was neat. The music was better than any music the high school has had before. Usually, it's bad but when my husband does it, it sounds great over the sound system and the dance turned out cute.

I'm not crazy about the government getting involved in my retirement. They've spent social security. I don't want them to have one little thing to do with any more of my retirement.
\I'm starting an emergency fund to get saved before I go hard on the credit card debt. I can't decide if I should go for a three month emergency fund or a six month emergency fund? A three month seems possible while a six month seems discouraging. Maybe do a three month fund, work on the credit cards and get those out of the way, and then add onto the emergency fund?
Do you have an emergency fund? What would you suggest? Dave Ramsey said 3-6 months. I'm a Libra...I don't make decisions well.
So, how's those politics coming? I haven't updated my political blog regularly because it'd be all the same for me. They're all idiots. I mean, how many times can I write that? They are corrupt. They are lawless. They are set for life while the rest of us struggle under their bad legislation and leadership.
I could just repeat that daily. It'd always be true.
We need some financial peace! I've read a couple of books by Dave Ramsey (the financial get out of debt guru) and have started implementing some of the first steps. We have savings for an emergency fund adding up right now plus I've almost paid off over $1,000 in medical deb we've had hanging over our head.

I am looking for new sink bases for two bathrooms, along with cabinets for above my washer and dryer. Should I go wholesale shopping or just hit the local building store?
We are going there tomorrow to find a new exterior, front door. The "Polar Vortex" that came through last week warped our front door - it wasn't staying closed. I had to put a chair underneath the knob to keep it closed through that inntense cold front. Not exactly safe. It's time to replace it. I don't want to have the wind whip that door open when my kids are home alone!
My kids FINALLY went back to school today. They got an extra long Christmas break due to the polar vortex that swept through here, freezing everything up in its path. Apparently, it wanted to freeze the sprinkler lines and sewer lines up at the school as well. That gave the kids a few extra days of time off. Three out of four were NOT ready to go back, of course.
I'm glad the cold front is gone and warmer air is here. I'll take the rain and fog over worrying about the dogs' pads on their feet freezing just to go outside for a couple minutes.
It does seem odd for it to be so quiet here though. They were home almost three weeks. It was nice.
