a little late

 whoops, i fell behind with my posting. oh well! anyway, i lost 1.6 pounds last week and am feeling pretty good about myself. my clothes fit so much better and i just feel better in general. i'm still trying to lose maybe ten more pounds, but i've over 15 at this point and that feels pretty freaking good. what a huge difference just fifteen pounds can make.

we finally bought plane tickets for our trip to disneyworld in october, so that's step one! we chose not to buy finn a seat this time, which saved us $400 round trip, which is a lot of money. gavin's parents are flying down to jacksonville with us to see his grandparents for the weekend before we rent a car and drive down to orlando to meet my parents. so, they can help us wrangle finn on the flight down. on the way back, we're on our own. but i figure we can survive 3.5 hours with finn in our laps, to save $200. we had more than enough in the vacation account to cover the plane tickets, and now we just have to beef it back up in the next three months to pay for all the other stuff - boarding the dog, the rental car, our portion of the hotel, park tickets, food, and misc. i think we can do it without a problem.

i'm dreaming of the end of this year. of filing taxes and getting another BIG refund. this time, there is no credit card debt to pay off, and we can put a big chunk of the refund into our vacation fund for 2012 in the fall, and the rest into our savings account. maybe that will be the day when i can finally worry a little less about money. but i doubt it. i just have major financial anxiety and i always have. it's never enough to make me feel comfortable. oh well.

that's all for now! i haven't eaten as well as usual this week so i doubt i will have a loss to report this weekend, but we'll see. it's not too late to be good the next few days!
