Friday, Dryer fix again....

     Well I finally got to the laundry and the dryer went kaput again.  Last time it was the heating element, which is still under warranty, so what is it this time?  It was a sensor, so I just wrote a check for $105.00, so I could dry my clothes.  At least I did not have to buy a new dryer.

     I finally had some success at getting people to pickup things.  Now there are the lagers, but that will always be.  I had two wedding dresses go out and one more come in.  I have a second fitting on a wedding dress this afternoon. I have all of my today's work hanging ready for me to do and then after that is done I really have to tackle some ironing.

     Thanks for all the input by the way on the shop, all advice and suggestions are good for me.  I have always just run by the seat of my pants and usually don't stop and say to myself , "Is there a better way?"

     Hub's 50 year high school reunion is in Missoula on Saturday night so we will be leaving here tomorrow morning and driving the 4 hours over the pass.  We will come home Sunday.  I was going to go earlier and stay later to help my little brother with a project but the shop is too busy and I need to get too many wedding dresses out before the 7th of Sept.  Now that Hubs is playing in a pit orchestra I can go some weekend in Sept, without Hubs which will be easier on both of us.

     I was able to go and put $500.00 dollars on the mortgage last night and this always makes me so happy.  I would have liked to have gotten it below $12,000 but I needed a little cash to go to Missoula.

    I have three Wedding dresses due out before Sept 7th and my plan is to get those all out before the end of next week.  There are several bridesmaid dresses that are also due out before the end of the month or the 7th.  So I have to keep this nose to the grindstone.  My nose is starting to hurt.

     It seems like this debt payoff is taking forever.  I am so close  and I keep thinking of how many months are left and how much extra I will need. I have been averaging $2200-2500 a month on the principle. So right now that leaves an extra balance of about $1500.00, which is down from the $3500.00 I had calculated at the beginning of the year.  Just putting extra on the mortgage when ever I had it has really helped.  The Wedding did not help.  I still have a large Am Ex bill that I will have to pay at the first of next month, so after I put on $500.00 more dollars I will save everything toward that bill.

     Debt payoff consumes my life or I should say the goal of getting the house paid off consumes my life.  It was my goal for the year and dang it I am going to get there if it kills me.  It just might.

     What are you going to do for the weekend?  Any plans? Anything fun?

Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.
