October wrap-up, November goals, $10 more to trip fund

November 1st, 2012 at 04:30 am

We had a good month: surpassed the $1790 debt-repayment goal with $1843 paid in October. My other goal was to do a 2-week raw cleanse, but we cut it short after one week. For me that was fine because I hit my weight goal and didn't have as much motivation.

Hit three of my 2012 goals this month: net worth is $300K, student loan debt is less than $40K, and my weight is under 130. 3 big goals down, 2 to go for the year!

For November, a slightly more modest debt goal to pay $1750 of principal. Another goal is to at least start a novel for NaNoWriMo. My third goal is to do at least 2 upper-body and 2 lower-body weight training workouts each month in November (since this isn't a full week, I just want to get at least 1 of each done by Sunday).

As I predicted, I got a $10 Target gift card for wearing a Halloween costume to work! I'll buy groceries with it and take $10 of grocery budget for my trip fund. Now it's at $138!

We had a great, eventful Halloween. AA had tons of fun at my job, NT's job, daycare, and trick-or-treating in the evening. Oh, and opening a Halloween present my parents mailed. I filmed her cooing over the toys and had her say thank you and give her love, posted the video to YouTube and emailed my dad the link. Smile

I do feel bad because one of my old college friends is the BIGGEST Halloween fan, and she's in New Jersey where everything got canceled. She had to take her elaborate yard display down before Halloween even hit. I have lots of friends and family on the East Coast, but thank goodness so far everyone seems to be doing fine. It's weird to think that my winter holiday season is in full swing and so many people's lives are on hold, tradition and routine and even basic creature comforts suspended temporarily. Really hoping the recovery efforts go fast and smooth for everyone affected.
