Hi FS Buddies!
It's a sunny day but cold and windy here in Rochester, NY. I am going down to my parents' house this weekend and meeting my daughter there. Tomorrow she turns 24! I have to do some Mom gushing - she is doing some pro-bono work in law school to help expunge the juvenile records of some young people her age so that they can get employment and housing (just eligible offenses). Apparently your record becomes public at age 14 so even if you are 24 and did something bone-headed at such a young age it can really hinder the rest of your life! Here is my cutie - never posted a pic on here before:


I hope everyone is hanging in there with their goals. Remember even if you backslide, you can always recommit! I have done it many times with all of your help and encouragement.

I was not very active here this last week and I apologize. I was having a hard time at work, working through lunch, and too stressed out to think outside of myself. Yesterday I thought about it and decided that I can only do so many things at once and I need to make sure I take care of myself. Letting myself be last priority and not having a balanced outlook on life is what got me into this mess in the first place.

Have a great weekend everyone!
