I am having a wonderful day. I have devised a plan- encourage others who can to do it.
Say you work 3 extra jobs- one of them being full-time. So you have $2500 extra a month. If you use it to pay off student loan debt, etc, which takes 4 years, then for 3 years ( remember now you only have rent, gas, and food) you save $120,000- cash speaks and you have more of a chance of getting a pretty decent house for that in Kentucky. So then your home is paid for, so you have tons of money to invest. Then for 3 more years you save and invest $3,800 a month in a 9-10% mutual fund( one of the more secure ones) That's $120,000 in 3 years, plus interest.
That's only 10 years and look at what you've done. I worked 100 hours a week when I was firs tout of college because I didn't have anything else to do- well, lots of it was volunteer work as a Mennonite community nurse, but still, I was working like that for 4 years and it didn't kill me.

Help!!!! I'm having one of those, "pull your hair out of your head days!" Nothing's going right- nothing. My publicist has received TONS of media inquiries about my unskilled worker's study- problem is - the study isn't really done and the journal isn't really complete. I didn't realize it would be sooo much publicity before the book was even finished. I keep getting letters from INMATES!!! Got one from Arizona and one from KY. I HAATE this life and want to roll up and disappear. I want to be a normal, 9-to-5 lady. I'm sooo tired of the stress of being in the spotlight, so I'm LEAVING it- I am going to take a break and spend time with my family, and finish the study( which dear publicist has already told them I would have it done and printed by June. I got a job at a grocery store and I've dyed my hair, so noone should recognize me- I also got hair extensions too. Well, I have one more interview for the job- they were really nice- its part of my study. I wanted my study to be real- so I will be a cashier for awhile. I'm sooo tired of hanging out with people who think they have to spend alot of money to have fun and get in debt- I'd rather be on here, talking to my blog buddies- so I'm going to do that more.

Kroger has, "Buy 8 Kraft Products, Get $7.00 off." Cream Cheese is 10/$10 ,so buy 8 and get them all for $1.00!!! My nephew eats it on bagels- I can't have it, but its a good deal for those who can. You cna do the deal several times- just have separate transactions.

My friend just had her debit card stolen. The lady at the bank said that it had to have been someone that saw her card when she used it to pay at a restaurant. The banker said to never use your card where you can't see the person swipe it.

Today is nicer than yesterday- the sun is peeking out of the clouds and it is warmer- no snow. I'm fixing to get ready for the signing- have to get my nails/hair done.

I'm on tour again. I present tomorrow night. I am fixing to watch some tv. I had an expensive supper, but at least I have a refrigerator this time to keep my bottled water and soy milk in. It is snowing here. I'm glad the police officer escorting me is driving tomorrow night. I can't drive well in snow and ice. My next series, "Tales of a Thirftstore Junkie", will be out in May. It is a chirck-lit series that features a small-town gal that is bored one night so she decides to write a book about saving money. She travels the world, selling books out of the trunk of her car. She visits small and big cities and rural areas, in search of great thrift stores and yard sales. Along the way she finds romance.....again....and again.... and again.
I think it will make the bestseller list.
Everyone email me- I am soooo bored at the hotel.

The supporting actress decided to drop out, so I am now the lead actress. 30-year-old Gloria Graves lives in a bubble- a small, quaint town where times moves slow. Then one day, after her friend's death, she decided to move to New York City. She has a load of fun-and heartbreak, for she has fallen for a heart-throb Wall Street man named Macland E. Jones- who knows he's hot.

Someone ran me off the road- I wish I knew who it was that was following me. This is the 3rd time I've come into contact with this van of people. I wasn't hurt though. I am planning my Indiana tour- Hallie is home resting- she had surgery- I miss her. I a cooking new vegan recipes this week. Does everyone know that vinegar lowers your white blood cell count? Just wondering- most don't know.
LOL
