Does living with such a crush of media make you wonder who you are? I want to grow up to look just like ________(fill in the blank). Except I'm already 40 years older than she is and I don't have her talents. So this coming year is going to be my year to be the best I can be -- of me. I'm starting with a diet, but nothing else will depend on my losing weight unless it just happens. I'm reading "Food For Life" by Pamela M. Smith R.D. And today I decided to skip the great sale at KMart because even though I could get tons of money off with the doubled coupons, there isn't much there that I really need! I hope 2009 will be my best year ever.

I added up my savings, and it's far from where it ought to be.There are so many temptations when you just let yourself give in. So about three weeks ago, I buckled down and started writing down every penny spent. I can see I'll have to make some adjustments. I give myself until the end of the year.

I saved MyPoints until I qualified for a Walmart $50 gift card. They sent me a Walgreen's card instead. I didn't notice it until I got to Walmart. The nearest Walgreen's is 65 miles away, but we do get up that way about once a month.

I found a great pantsuit and three-piece skirt set at the thrift store last week. It is amazing how much nicer I feel when I'm dressed up a little. The skirt set was $6.00 and the pantsuit was $8.00, and they are not outdated or flawed in any way.
