“Middle Class Piggy”, originally uploaded by Dave Allen Photography.

In preparing for secret, secret plans (muahaha!) my honey and I have devised a competition to see who can spend less money over the coming months. This will be a challenge for me, because: 1) I live paycheck to paycheck as it now stands, 2) I have a Twizzlers addiction that is unsurpassed, and 3) I need caffeine (in the form of diet soda, thank you!) like I need air – neither can I go without for very long.

The competition began yesterday, December 1st, and so far so good for me. I have remembered to bring my lunch, purchased soda in 6-pack instead of fountain form, and have “just said no” to my Twizzler addiction. I miss Twizzlers already and it has only been 2 days since I last had them. This will be a difficult road ahead, with no Twizzlers in sight. Twizzlers are a superfluous expense, after all, or so people claim. Pfft. My honey has had no need to spend money yet, so of course he is winning by default currently. So not fair. (Heh).

(Update:  I have already broken down and bought a bag.  I was craving them so badly… At least I am forcing myself to save them until the weekend, right?)

So…  I am making every effort to break into the writing world. I need your help, though, dear readers.  I would like to stretch myself as a writer, which means writing on topics of many varieties.

It would be helpful for me if my readers would list for me five topics that he or she enjoys reading about or is interested in or passionate about and I will write on each topic in upcoming blog posts.

Also… If you have a blog and would like someone to guest post for you in the future, I would love to do this.  The only thing I ask is this:  you tell me the topic you’d like me to write about – it could be anything.  This idea originally came from Miss Britt and I thought it was such a fabulous one, I thought I would do this too.

Comment away! I am excited to see what comes of this project!
