beginning

I recently started reading personal finance blogs and am now addicted. So I decided to start my own. A review of my personal finance history: I graduated from law school in May 2007 with a ton of student loans (the exact amount will come out later). I work at a job that doesn't pay very much (this year at least). Fortunately, I live in a place that has a relatively low cost of living. My financial goal for this year: pay off one private loan and fund 2 Roth IRAs, in addition to making the minimum payments on my other student loans and pay rent/feed myself.
My personal life just got somewhat boring in that I'm now engaged to the guy I've dated for three years. My mom and I are planning a wedding. In the same regard, my personal life just got frustrating because I now have to deal with my soon to be mother-in-law. Does it ever get easier?
My personality is a concoction of a dash of school spirit, a pinch of sorority girl, a 1/4 teaspoon sporty spice, and a 1 liter bottle of Vodka. I have highly discriminating taste when it comes to people and a fairly short fuse. Read: I don't have too many close friends and most people tick me off, one way or another.

Managing debt and my life can sometimes take superhuman abilities. This is my attempt at reconciling the two.
