Get to sit outside and just listen to the creek ripple by and watch the fire flies!! Have a nice evening! (a frugal one too) The other half!!June 11th, 2006 at 09:37 pmI just got back from seeing how the other half lives. We got a call from a couple wanting to build a new house. They want to down size. Their house now is on about 20 acres. Big long drive way. Lushly planted yard. Fancy pool in the backyard. A good time was had by all!!June 11th, 2006 at 04:04 pmWe had a wonderful time at the dinner party last night. The food was great, but it was a bit hot. She wanted the whole party outside, but until the sun set about 8:30, it was pretty warm. Another party!!June 10th, 2006 at 08:10 pmi can't believe it, I just got invited to another party tonight. They just decided this morning to invite 35-40 people over for a party!! Going to a partyJune 10th, 2006 at 03:25 pmI am going to a party tonight. I do love parties, even as old as I am. It is at a house (that my husband built) with a beautiful mountain sunset view, which I really enjoy. We will have dinner with about 20 other people. surveyJune 8th, 2006 at 11:14 pmI just took a survey which will pay me a dollar. I wonder how some of you get the big paying surveys? Not much!!June 8th, 2006 at 09:29 pmNot much to add to my challenge, but every little bit helps. I did my 30 minute walk (only 16 flights of stairs) and I saved a dollar on tipping last night cause the waitress was totally terrible. Oh, I gave her $5 for our $20 meal, but I usually leave $6. So I am adding that $2 to my challenge. I stayed home all day so far, so no spending and no gas oday 2.00 disappointed in serviceJune 8th, 2006 at 07:08 pmWe went to our usual restaurant last night and got a new waitress. Oh, she had waitressed before at another place and knew us. Balanced all the checkbooksJune 8th, 2006 at 05:33 pmWe have several checking accounts, but two we use mainly. I have not balanced them in almost 3 months, so I made my self sit down and work on that this morning. Happy to report the job is done and they all balanced to the penny!! crittersJune 8th, 2006 at 02:54 pmWell there are certain critters that are determined that I won't sleep in late. The first was my dog, Holly, who had to go potty at 5 am. (that is our fault, we forgot to take her out last night) title insuranceJune 7th, 2006 at 09:34 pmWe bought a piece of property on Oct. 19th of last year. We are building a spec house on it. (for sale) I just got the title insurance on it today. How long do cardinals live?June 7th, 2006 at 03:40 pmI have a cardinal that wakes me up every morning. As soon as it gets light, she starts hitting the window. Then she will go away and come back and do it again. Over and over, until I finally give up. I hung some alum. pans outside but that does not help. I sure wish she would go live somewhere else, but with four full feeders in the yard, I doubt she will. Eating out!!June 6th, 2006 at 05:16 pmIt felt good to eat out last night. I hate going to florida because of the heat and also because the in laws do not eat supper at night. That usually means dh and I do not eat supper at night. We wind up eating junk food cause there is no restaurants in that town. Panic!!June 6th, 2006 at 03:23 pmWell, I got on my treadmill this morning for the first time since last Wednesday!! (been away on a trip) swanky dog food!!June 5th, 2006 at 10:21 pmI got two bags of free dog food from the pet store, $10 a bag was the price. I pay about $5 a bag normally at the grocery store. UmatillaJune 5th, 2006 at 05:35 pmSomeone mentioned that they had never heard of Umatilla, Fla. It is in central florida, near Leesburg, eustis, and Mount Dora. I am back!!June 5th, 2006 at 04:59 pmYou can keep Florida, it is hot when you wake up! It was in the 90's all the way home, when we hit Clayton, Ga. (in the mountains), the temperature dropped to 60. We had to wear a sweater when we cooked out last night. No place like home! Saving my changeJune 2nd, 2006 at 09:15 pmI feel frustrated that I cannot do anything to add to my challenge money while on a trip. At least I am taking all of my change and putting it in a little pocket in my suitcase. I can add it to my coin jar when I get home!! Can't stand the heat!!June 2nd, 2006 at 08:50 pmOk, you guys in Fla., how do you do it? I have been here one day and I cannot stand the heat. We have been sitting in the house all day. My dh wants to go and take rides around the area. One trip to Publix wiped me out!! class reunionJune 2nd, 2006 at 07:45 pmWe are here in Fla. for my husband's class reunion. We rode around to find out where the dinner is going to be held tomorrow and talked to some people that were at the dining hall. Greetings from Fla.June 2nd, 2006 at 07:25 pmHi, I am here and I am hot!! I sure miss the mountains of Georgia. It is too hot to do anything!! (or spend money) PackingMay 31st, 2006 at 04:51 pmI am packing for a trip to Florida. Trying to find something cool enough to wear, so I am taking way too many clothes. Did you ever notice that almost everything, "dress up" is long sleeves. I wish I could just wear shorts. Busy busy day!!May 30th, 2006 at 09:27 pmThis is the first time I have had time to come to this site, my favorite place to visit. I had a bunch of errands to run today to get ready for our trip. Then I had to take the car in for an oil change and tire alignment. That took up about 3 hours, as I had to go to another state. Looking forward to dinner out tonight!! And catching up on all these blogs!! found walletMay 29th, 2006 at 08:54 pmI was cleaning out a drawer today and found an old wallet. I wish I could say it was full of money, but I take better care of money than that. I always know how much money I have. Party timeMay 28th, 2006 at 03:59 pmWe had a great time at the party last night. lots and lots of food, we pigged out. Even had dessert. I was dressed as Elvis and a male elvis did win the best dressed prize. 50's partyMay 27th, 2006 at 07:59 pmI am going to a 50's party tonight. Knowing all the ladies will be so cute in their poodle skirts, I decided to do something different. Change the windows!May 26th, 2006 at 10:51 pmWell, I visited the job site today and just did not like the living room windows. They don't match. In the last spec house, I made dh change the living room windows. Sorry, but he is going to have to do it again. cleanest car in townMay 26th, 2006 at 10:49 pmI think I have the cleanest car in town, my husband washes it so much. He is washing it now. It has rained 4 times this afternoon, I bet it gets rained on tonight. It always rains when you wash a car. $1500 tires!May 26th, 2006 at 03:27 pmI got my new $1500 tires today. I guess I should get a chair and go sit in the garage and look at them. Isn't that about what those fancy big screen tv's cost? Class reunionMay 25th, 2006 at 07:29 pmMy husband just found out about a class reunion about a week ago. Not too organized, they didn't even send our invitations, just called a few people. He graduated in 1969. Why are they having a reunion in 2006? No one seems to know anything, but I guess we are going. It is the first reunion since 1979. I think we are going to be wasting 4 days pay plus expenses going to Fla., but he wants to go. Oh well!! Hope it is not too hot as I cannot stand the heat! That is why we went to visit his Father in Jan. and still wore shorts.
