You'll be happy to know that I started in on my walking practice again last night, walking 3.5 miles. Hey, it's a start. I walked down to Linens 'n Things to check out their curtains. (I'm really needing to practice the proverbial "out with the old, in with the new" philosophy in my new house!) Unfortunately for me, I not only found THE perfect curtains, but also several other household necessities that I simply MUST have. My God! I'm starting to sound like a girl! Luckily, I had no money on me (I was on a walk!) so they'll have to wait. I sashayed home with my head full of all the endless, decorating possibilities I could achieve if I only had the time and money. This mortgage thing is seriously limiting my monthly coinage glut! I'm thinking of taking a second job. You know, just in case I ever need to buy a new shirt or something! At the time, I thought putting all my money in investments was a good idea. Ah, the perils of diversified portfolios and their damn 5 year waiting period! I really don't know what I'm talking about when it comes to money and investments. I just know I have some, locked away for 5 years! I just like saying diversified portfolios. It just rolls of the tongue, wouldn't you say?
