Last week we paid another $151 to the credit card. That will be the last payment til this week's paycheck. We've paid $988 from the last paycheck to the VISA. It will be nice once that money is ours to spend as we wish.
DH and I discussed a family vacation after the card is paid off. We are thinking Disneyland but the problem is that we can't reserve anything now because you have to pay for the trip upfront. Hopefully, we can get the damn card paid off early enough to be able to reserve a hotel room without paying an arm and a leg. We are still shooting for November for the debt-be-gone goal...we'll see how that affects the vacation.
Saturday I did the grocery shopping for another week....I spent every last dollar but I was able to buy a treat...more Coke Zero! Woo Hoo! We've got fruits, veggies, and lots of pasta planned for this week. Not an exciting menu, but at this point, frugal is exciting! I was quite pleased with myself for being so smart at the grocery store. Yes...that's pretty dumb of me, but what can ya do?
We were going to have some friends over for hamburgers on Saturday night so I bought some things I wouldn't normally buy...potato chips, pickles, stuff for chip dip, etc. But our awesome friends took us out to dinner on her company's tab. So, we got to go out to eat...what a luxury! Let's see...we went to Cafe Rio a few weeks ago with our milestone/celebration money and before that......hmmmm.......I think we went to dinner one other time since January. Eating out three times in three months....that's just crazy talk! I really enjoyed eating some really yummy (FREE!) food that I didn't cook and I didn't have to clean up after. Plus...the real perk was spending some good quality time with our dearest friends. Ahhh...the memory is just as sweet as the experience!

You know what, youre being really responsible, and I think youre a great role model for people in debt, and I am going to add your link to the sidebar on my blog. I like where this story is going. Good job.
Wow...thank you! A pat on the back is such a great motivator to keep going even when things get so challenging. It's not been an easy journey but well worth the hard work so far!
