Today I received a check for $5 from American Consumer Opinion surveys, which I will add to my savings account for CC #3.

I discovered that I can now do Walgreen's monthly rebates online finally. It is very similar to Rite Aid's (which I...
Well, the last few weeks of August and first two weeks of September were horrible. I spent way too much money, which was annoying, so that's why I didn't even bother updating. We barely had enough to pay the bills these last two paychecks.
On a better note though, I was able to...
Because it is going up over $5.00 tomorrow morning. That is what I just got a phone call on, so I went out to get gas. It is already going up and the town has gone crazy. You can hardly get into any gas station, but I got mine and I'm home now, safe and sound.
Hurry, cause it...
Ahhh...thanks for the support! It is a weird topic and I already feel 'icky' about having told people about it.
But now that it's out, I'm gonna VENT about Rule #2. 'Do not tell anyone about it.' I did not know about this rule- and the basic upheaval of the death combined with...
Miserable rainy day today so no outside walk. I did 19 minutes on Wii Fit. I'm making it a point to do a couple of each type of exercise each time and not do the same ones either. I unlocked a new balance exercise, Bubble Balance, and did that a couple of times. Also did strength,...
... I got free jeans, a sweater, lunch and a turkey today.
Yes, that's right, free jeans from Nordstroms, a
really, really nice sweater, a so-so lunch and a huge honkin' turkey.
How did this happen, you ask?
Well, my mother who is quite possibly the craziest most difficult...
I previously posted about my weight loss and how reporting to you, the public, I could get better results. My money issues have since cleared up and I have focused on fixing my credit and saving money for my family's future.
My neighbor, not my cousin, came to me today and offered...
We live in Ike's path just east of Houston. We have decided to stay and ride the storm out. Preparations have been happening for several days now. Ike should hit our area between 10:00pm tonight and 3:00am tomorrow morning. We are expected to be without power for awhile. With Rita...
Today is the day of my 21st birthday party. It's 7am and it starts at 4pm.
Today I have to:
-Go to the famers market and buy ingredients for salad and our veges for the week.
-Pick up the meat for all the carnivores.
-Make pasta salad
-Make a garden salad
-Clean up outside
-Clean...
My last post made mention that gas had gone up $1 since yesterday in our neighborhood. Then I went down town. Gas is still under $4 in town but up to $4.95 premium near where I live. I will try not to use those stations in the future even tho they are more convenient. The stock...
If you hadn't noticed on my side bar, I have added a weight loss ticker. I figured if the facing up to other people about my finances worked in keeping me under control, maybe that would too. I also only weigh myself four times a year, when I get my birth control shot. I added the...
I found a penny on the ground and said out loud, "It's my lucky day!"
I was in the parking lot, getting the boys in the car, and found money.
It's just that easy folks.
You find money, you feel good, and you say it out loud.

Although I'm spending money on Weight Watchers, I'm spending less money on food.
I have traditionally bought breakfast and lunch at the work cafe. Now, I'm bringing breakfast (a boiled egg and V8 or Soy Milk) instead of buying an egg sandwich & juice for $4! I'm also eating less...

Argh! This new budget spreadsheet is driving me crazy!
You see, I've grown quite accustomed to knowing everything I want to know about my finances, anywhere, anytime, all in the palm of my hands. Down to the last penny. It is always up-to-date, faster than online bank...
Residual pregnancy hormones are the most plausible culprit for my recent decision to bring my three kids, ages three and under with me to the store. In their entire life existence, I have never attempted this feat with my twins. One would deduce, adding a two month old baby to the...
My craft club has a monthly design competition and the topic for September is 'Fall Traditions'.
I made this item to enter. What words would best fit a pumpkin I mused as stitching came near the end. What do you think when you find that perfect candidate for the jack o' lantern?
"Picked"...
What a crazy week. Hubby left town this week, and work was on overload. Seeing as how we are closing out, everything that needs to be done is being assigned...3 weeks before D-day. Ugh. Oh well, I have half my to-do list done :-)
Hubby is coming back today, and as far as I know,...
My cousin did use my shower 3 or 4 times, but I don't think that I will ask her for any money. She is the type that would always make things even. She did use my dryer this morning, but we talked about that a week ago; How she would give me money on my light bill, since my dryer is...
When I finished college, I thought I would never get a job in the field I wanted - publishing or editing. It seemed that without experience I couldn't get a job, and I couldn't get experience without a job. You all know the vishous cycle I am talking about.
So, I went back to...
So....I have mentally bounced back and forth on a topic I have not discussed yet in this blog. I have not talked about it because...it changes things. And I like you guys, I like the 'online' person that I am, and I like my blog writing experience so far.
But sometimes...
