Guess what this picture is? If you know anything about me, you’ll know immediately. What is the great material desire of my heart? What have I been saving like a madwoman for since August 2007? That is my hand. Those are my keys. And that, dear readers, is my door knob. I own it, and everything it’s attached to.

Welcome to The Hustle of Sistah Ant v. 2.0. With quite a few goals accomplished, it’s time to move on, in more ways than one. New web space and address, new design, and new goals.  Here are my old progress bars.

progress-bars-2

My new ones, along with my net worth progress bar, the only one I haven’t completed yet, are on the sidebar.  Please be patient with me during the transition to my new home – I wasn’t able to bring my comments here from the old site, and for that I sincerely apologize.  There are some other kinks to untangle, too.  I’ve got some housekeeping to do, I know, but I’m eager to get settled in.

Please update your blogrolls – I live at sistahant.com now, and please let me know if there are any problems with the feed!  And if you don’t get the feed, subscribe already – it’s easy :-)   Mister Ant has been really helpful throughout this entire moving process, and I must salute him here.

Anyway, we’ve got a lot of catching up to do!  I’ll fill you in throughout January.

Happy New Year!

    Hey chica.

    Are you going to take advantage of the 1st Time Home Buyers Tax Credit on your taxes? I looked into it and I do believe I will claim the credit.

    Hey chica! Yes, I will claim the credit, and I’ll be having a discussion about it here on the site.
