Student Loan Money

And yes, I feel guilty and bad for borrowing it to go back to school.

Whoops again!

I forgot to post Saturday. I guess I need to upload some more excerpts from my bankruptcy memoir. I also need to work on that, but I'm intent on getting my erotic romance novel done. Plus I'm going to school and working, so obviously, I need a schedule and some willpower!

Sigh...

Seems to me I've lived my entire adult life on borrowed money.

The More I Worry...

The more I eat and spend. And I hate that.

Another Day, Another Scholarship Application (or three)

After work, I stopped off at school to look over more scholarship matches. One scholarship wanted me to write an essay about how coupons influenced my purchasing decisions. I usually carry a few Goodwill coupons with me. A local grocery store prints them on the back of their receipts, and I stash them in my wallet, or put them in the glove box. The coupons are either for $1 off a $10 purchase, or $5 off a $25 purchase.

But sometimes I avoid coupons, because no matter how good the deal is, you're still spending money. I have precious little cash right now and there's less than $10 in checking, and it's a good week and a half until my next payday. I had to pay house insurance and my student loan, and I spent $80+ at the grocery store, so I'm pretty much wiped out, unless my other job pays me at the end of this week. It still means $5 and whatever change I can find around the house until I get paid. Which won't be soon enough.

King's Hawaiian Sandwich Bread

King's Hawaiian now makes a loaf of bread and it's a good size if you are in the mood for two or three sandwiches and don't want to buy a normal sized loaf of bread and have it go bad. Although, I've tried to get into the habit of putting two slices in sealable sandwich bags and put them in the freezer so if I'm in the mood for a sandwich, I'll have bread handy. Two slices in each bag is just the right size and portion if you are in the mood for toast or a sandwich. I've had three sandwiches so far, and I think I have enough for a fourth, excluding the heels of the loaf.
