Well.....I finally get to do it. Yup, I get to place a catalogue order
for
beads. And not a ten or twenty or even fifty dollar order----I have a
whole
$150 at my disposal!!!!! I got my FMG book the other day, and I'm already
$25
deep in the planning, just in faceted fire polish.

And how does the financially challenged Candace get to do this, you might
ask?
The answer is simple: For the first time in who knows how long...it is the
20th
of the month, all of our bills are paid, and all of our bills for next
month
will be paid by the 12th. And we only have to use DH's paycheck to do it,
and
there's plenty left over for day to day expenses. Which means....I get to
use
my child support check next month for what *I* want! (Minus about 40 bucks
for
DH's magazine subscription he's been wanting for a year)

Elation doesn't even begin to cover what I'm feeling. And as much as a
big
chunk of that is the thought of all those beads---it's really the fact
that the
bills are paid, we'll have no trouble paying them from now on, and we
didn't/won't ask for anybody's help (i.e. in laws) to do it. Feels like
manna


And, for the first time in three weeks...my migraine took a very long
break
today!

Life.............it's feeling pretty good right now
