Back to fixing up the house

It is so hard to believe that it has been almost a year since I started having work done around the house. New carpet, new interior paint, a new flat roof over my den and a remodeled bathroom sure made my house look a lot better. But it wasn't done then and it still isn't done now--but more is being done. Two new front windows have changed the way the front of my house looks plus it has kept a lot of air conditioning from escaping my house to the outside world. My bathroom and dressing room just got some new tile and a leak in my shower is getting fixed. I hope to put my house up for sale in the near future, but the more that gets done to it to make it look nicer, the more I'll hate to sell it. Well, the way the market is in South Florida, it might not sell!

Avand Plumbing Courses

I love taking courses. As a teacher, I am constantly taking courses to learn new techniques and strategies to become better at what I do. In fact, I just finished a fantastic course where I was taught strategies to help me motivate my students to become more respectful people. I have already been putting some of my new learned strategies into action and have seen a difference in some of my students. Have you ever thought about taking courses to get better at your profession or to learn a new trade? If I was thinking about a new trade, I might think about becoming a plumber. Avand offers intensive 4 week Plumbing Courses that teaches all you need to know about becoming a plumber. I know plumbers make a lot more than teachers--so maybe I should still look into it. If you're thinking about becoming a plumber, you should take a look at Avand.

Weightwatchers

Hey--I've been on Weightwatchers for about 3 weeks and it hasn't been that bad. In fact, I've lost 3 1/2 lbs and I'm eating a lot healthier. I weigh in again tomorrow. I have to be honest, though. This week hasn't been so good. I've had a couple of bad days. With weightwatchers, you're supposed to eat so many dairy products a day, as well as vegetables and fruits. In addition, you need to drink lots of water and make sure you get your fiber in. It is a point system--which really isn't the hard part. It's making sure you get in all of those other things. It was hard to get vegetables in some of the time. I didn't have any salad or other vegetable in the house. So, I have a feeling I did not lose as much this week. In fact, I may not have lost anything. I just hope I didn't gain! Besides that, I need to get on an exercise routine. I can actually join a gym for free with my health insurance plan. It's just doing it!!!!

Managing Debt

I would love to win a contest that was giving away a lot of money so I can pay off all my debt. My mortgage, car loan and credit card bills just never seem to go away. Well, my chances are slim for winning any money so I have to take hold of my own life and get out of debt on my own. Bankruptcy is not the right answer! Working things out is. I have had some financial situations in the past few years causing me to get in debt. The good thing is that I always make my payments on time and keep the credit cards out of my purse so the balances only get lower. They are definitely going down--slow but sure. If I don't have enough money to purchase something, that means I can't afford it and I don't purchase it. I used to not be like that. If I wanted something, I took out the old plastic. Plus, I was late with payments from time to time. I'm so glad that I finally came to my senses and only purchase what I can afford--with money--not plastic and pay my bills on time. At times, some of us need help in managing our debt. If you feel you can't do as I am and you need help managing your debt, you may need an IVA. Don't give up--there is a way out!!!
