It is a very happy day for us!! It is America's birthday and we are going to a party/cookout today! Well, tonight really. We have some friends that have a big blow out every 4th of July and they also set off great fireworks too!
So, I am really looking forward to being with a lot...

Amazed ... and my 5k

laneerg@yahoo.com (Laura) — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 12:19:11 PST

Some of you who have followed this blog for a long time may recall that I was a teacher. In fact, when I started this blog, I had just started the last semester of my 8th year.

Well, this morning after my running in the 5k race, I went home and got ready for church. I managed to...

365 days of dinner: June 21-July 3, 2009

Sunday, June 21, we had grilled veggie brats, sauteed greens from the CSA and grilled corn on the cob.

Monday I made cheese and veggie "chicken" quesadillas, fresh corn and lettuce salad, and guacamole.

Tuesday I made what we call "KFC bowl" because it was...

Happy 4th!

Have a great day everybody! Looks to be a rainy one here! Having our bbq. Not too expensive as everyone pitches in. I guess the most expensive will be the hamburger and brats. I already had the hot dogs.
Anyway, enjoy, whatever you are doing!

Planning for twins

We had the 18 week level 2 ultrasound this week, and I'm excited to announce that the babies are both girls! It was extremely cool to see the babies' hearts -- you could clearly see all four chambers and watch the valves moving as the heart pumped. They took measurements of all kinds...

Few hours left before leaving for the airport

I am not packed yet. We won't get enough sleep today... but I am excited.

Refund Checks + Gift Cards

(Blue Eyes) — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 16:17:07 PST

I got $6.88 in refund checks in the mail this week.

Today I transferred a prescription from another pharmacy for DD to earn a $25 GC at Rite Aid. The copay for generic prescriptions is $15, so I profited $10 there.

I recently got reimbursed for the Cheesecake Factory mystery...

How can one weekend cost as much as a week?

chadwickdtd@gmail.com (PrincessPerky) — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 15:20:22 PST

In general our trips to PA are not too expensive, we stay with family we don't eat out much (least not on our dollar) and we don't go anywhere fancier than the science center.

BUT...we generally have a picnic planned with other family, and we always bring food, fruit and veggies...

Ouch! A $254 mistake...

ff2bme@clearwire.net (Analise) — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 11:29:56 PST

I pay the majority of our bills via auto-payments that are easy to manage online and ensure bills get paid on time. One exception is our property taxes. Our Idaho taxes were due in June and I mailed the check well before the due date. When we returned from our vacation, the payment...

Small Profit

(Cassandra) — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 09:39:21 PST

But better than nothing.

I sold another book last night so I shipped the two books today. I had to buy an envelope for the books because the books would not fit in anything I had (they were sheet music books). Total came to $7.91.

I earned $11.86 on the books, so my profit...

Found house, need $

bgoodpaster@comcast.net (Brittani) — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 04:25:13 PST

Well, my lease is up in October. I really want to leave this dump, but it's cheap and has a great school for my little n's. Without finding a full time job that pays at least min. wage, I can't afford to go anywhere. I say at least minimum because I could be a waitress and make a few...

I Think I'm At A Crossroads... (???)

blindexistence@hotmail.com (whitestripe) — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 02:07:47 PST

I've avoided blogging about this for a really long time. I'm not sure why; it's been swirling around in my head, like water around a drain, for MONTHS and I am sure that just getting it out there and getting some unbiased feedback would do me the world of good. But on the other hand,...

20 Great Places to Find Coins

(SA Blog) — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 00:01:20 PST

I like to walk and when I walk, I am always on the lookout for coins. I don't really consciously do this -- it has become a habit over the years. What I do know is that most years I add over $100 to my savings (you would need to keep over $10,000 in your local bank to earn the same...

Thursday
Saving log - $0 tip box
Spending log - $15 haircut

Wednesday
Saving log - $3 tip box
Spending log - $8.80 stamps

Yes, I still buy stamps. Hopefully we will use the sheet by the time USPS hikes postal rates again.

We have tomorrow off, so today felt like Friday....

2 jobs!!

missmolly2547@yahoo.com (gamecock43) — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 17:21:49 PST

So I gave my 2 week notice at my current job and my boss was disappointed but understands that a 50% raise is too good to pass up.

Then a few hrs later after talking to his father (family owned/run business) my boss tells me he is willing to match the pay of the University job!!...

$21 spent

bgoodpaster@comcast.net (Brittani) — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 15:52:08 PST

I went to the dollar store and spent $21. When did they raise prices from $1 to $5? I can't believe that. I did save an awful lot of money on my cell phone though, so I guess it evens out.

Bought two birthday presents on EBAY

Just4Samples@yahoo.com (CouponAddict) — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 15:39:59 PST

Got to love EBAY, well for the deals not for the amount that is now being charged to my CC.

I got two great deals on legos (which once they get here will be put away for my sons birthday). He knows they are coming but I think he will forget about them until his birthday if he does...

The bank lowered the rate yesterday

juliedenski@yahoo.com (Ima saver (julie is my real name)) — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 14:30:37 PST

My local bank lowered the rate on their accounts yesterday. They went from 3.14 to 2%. This is money I keep in savings for the day when building starts picking up and we start building spec houses again. I guess I should shop around for some short term C.D.'s.
