Just call me Ms. Cranky

I have been so cranky for, oh about 4 days now.  Today has been somewhat better and I feel the atmosphere lifting off of my head so I must be clearing up.   This gloomy weather hasn't been helping either.  Its cold and gray which is how I feel on the inside.  I feel like the rainbow and the planets on that Jimmy Dean commercial.  They are so down and out, then "wham" they eat the breakfast and get their color and vitality back.  I have to do better!!

I am almost finished with the socks.  I have one finished and 1 about 3/4. Too bad I misjudged something and these socks won't fit my big foot, but maybe one of my sisters.   I finished 4 more rows of the lace.  Now just 12 more and I can start clue 5.  Since clue 6 came out this last Friday, I am way behind.  Oh well, as long as I finish it.  I have also started a baby blanket.  I have 2 friends who are baking babies so I want to get those going.   
Something that I am really happy about:  I am out of debt!  Well, I still owe just a tich to my parents but that is another story.  Back in 2006 I was having these feelings of having too much stuff and my bills stacking up.  I owed for college that I was paying,  a host of medical bills were piling up, and some credit cards from traveling.  My Church was having a Dave Ramsey class on finances and I signed up.  As soon as the class started, the retina in my left eye detached and I had to have 3 surgeries that fall.  It was horrible.  Of course that didn't help!  Anyway, I followed the class rules and even though I have slipped some (at times quite a bit) I have really tried to cut back.  I paid my last big bill this month and I am so excited.  I need to get my little car bump fixed and I have a trip to take to see my brother but I have no debt.  I have no debt.  Wow.  I'm telling you, his plan works.  I don't see myself ever becoming a millionaire like Dave but getting out from owing creditors is wonderful.  Now to reduce the clutter in my life and I will be so light!  I have been doing better and have reduced quite a bit over the last 4 years.  Of course when most of my life is in two rooms, how much can a person have?  Well, a lot actually!  lol   
Okay, that's enough griping or whatever for tonight.    I'll try to post pics tomorrow of the socks.  :)
