The Hustle of Sistah Ant

back on the saddle

As my latest net worth update says, "I have finally included the doggone medical bills. (In "other debts.") So there, $2000 more debt. And it's taking a while to pay off because I have other things to take care of - house repairs and decoration, mainly. I've had ...

bad girl

Things are crazy. I have more medical bills than I thought I would have - payment plans out the wazoo. Mister Ant and I had a cash flow problem that has since been fixed. We bought some electronics. We took a weekend trip. Home improvements in the works. We have ...

my goals have changed

I am working a lot. I am working out after work. (Aren't you proud of me?) I had the work done on the roof. Now I have other projects to do before the weather gets cold. I have some water damage outside that needs fixing, ASAP. So, heeeeere we ...

trip!

tidbits

OK so I did a little budget projection on a post-it note, but now I'm getting down to the nitty gritty. And look how long it's taken me to get here - an entire week into the new month, and I'm finally getting my June accounting done. But hey, at ...

i went shopping!

I am so happy with what I got! I spent about $150 between two stores. I got ten tops, five skirts, a dress, and a pair of sunglasses. They let me out of work early, and I had the money to spend, so I did. I'm going out of town ...
