Stick to the Dave Ramsey plan of wealth building
Get rid of stuff I don't use (unclutter) Isn't this a constant thing?
Drink 8 glasses of water a day

Bring it on 2010- this is going to be an amazing year- I can FEEL IT! And just for motivation- I will quote my Grandma's favorite attage:
"Little by little an hour goes by, little by little a day, little by little we reach our goals or let them slip away"

Mary Jane, I just like having you around!
Oooh, that is a good quote.
So I am completely grateful for finding Dave Ramsey. He's the best! We are a fraction away from moving on to Baby Step 3. And I also am vowing not to buy another T-shirt, so that one made me laugh. I have such a weakness if I see them on sale. No more!! I would like to start dressing more girly. Good luck on reaching your goals!
You are my example MJ, what a lady! Oh, and yes, you are probably the happiest person I have ever met. Plus, you spread it around amazingly. Yay Dave Ramsey!!!!
Mary Jane, you inspire me. You have life pretty figured out. I love learning how to have a fresh perspective on life every time I'm around you. I am so blessed to have you for a friend.
