Bring it On!

Ground zero. Square One. Whatever you call it, that's where I am. You see, I've spent a whole lotta time wishin'. Wishin' I was thinner, wishin' I had more money, wishin' I had more time, wishin' I had the gumption to stop wishin' so much and just get off my butt and DO.

So here I am. I've spent the last couple of months (on my butt no less) in front of the computer reading oodles of other women's blogs. I love them...they have become little rays of sunshine in my day - how to get $97 worth of groceries for 97 cents; how to make money buying stuff at CVS; coupon clipping, meal planning, buying in bulk, on and on and on and on. Whew! My brain is about to explode!!

Some of these things I've put to good use - I've got a coupon binder to be proud of, I've saved upwards of 60 percent at the grocery store, and I have more free deodorant than I know what to do with (you CVSers know what I mean).

So now it's time to do something, time to make a change...a positive change in my (and my family's) life. It's time to set some goals and make some things happen. I know this blog is going to help me do just that. My hope is that it will be my accountability...if I put it out there, per se, then I have to make good on it. I also hope that all you folks who have been there and done that will send your experience, wisdom, and advice my way.

Let's get this party started!!!
