I'm trying to get more decluttering done... trying to motivate myself, I should say. I do have a lady coming for a Freecycle bag of clothing this evening, so I guess that is a start and I am working on a small box for Goodwill....

Yesterday was a success as a no drive day. Today I have to drive and have to buy gasoline... My son has a doctor apt today after school.

I'm planning all meals eaten at home, and need to make scalloped potatos and ham before that Dr apt.

How do you re-motivate yourself to get back into decluttering??? Guess I should watch an episode or 2 of Hoarders... that always helps...

I guess that is frugal. six more inches, not much work and dh is laid off this week, so up we go to the ski area.

if we don't go out for lunch it is frugal!

I took time to check if i had paid cc bill which is due around this time-i hadn't and i have free bill pay with credit union, so put in for payment and will avoid late fee!

My CU has free bill pay, but they actually mail checks out sometimes (if the business does not do electronic payments).

That is a good point-if they weren't set up for the electonic payment with the CC company I would be sunk!

I don't have cc bill automatically deducted but i was able to use the credit union free online bill pay today to avoid a late fee for a bill due tomorrow! Instead of putting the statement into my "to pay" folder which stands up on the desk, I had laid it down on the desk and it got buried under other papers!!!

EDIT-Sorry for double post-thought I was editing first post and I just made a double type post!

Sorry!

They're at Sam's pharmacy. While there I'm grabbing a hot dog, I think it's $1.30 so it's a cheap lunch. I brought breakfast to work. I have chicken thawing for supper, to be served with mashed potatoes and corn.

Yesterday I went by the library to drop off one book and renew the other 2 so that I didn't start getting fines, and while I was there I picked up a tax booklet and form for a friend. Hopefully today it wil lbe straight home, cook supper, and relax.

Here, they use Nathan's dogs. Do they down your way? I think the HD/drink como is like 1.79. I uused to like to get the pizza/drink combo for $1.89. No more, though! No greasy pizza and no soft drinks for me (I don't like that Gold Peak tea they have - yuck!). I will miss that meat pizza w/ the bacon on it ...

getting my hair done - cut and color. Dinner was lasagna and garlic knots. I made lasagna for Christmas dinner and then made a few more for the freezer. We'll have the leftovers tomorrow for lunch or dinner. I made an apple cake for snack tonight.

Tomorrow is going to be my cleaning day. Then we have a busy week starting Thursday.

You have two choices; make progress or make excuses.

I wonder if it is the hot dogs or the way they cook them....

And they are delicious! I don't like that Gold Peak tea either and I rarely drink soda so I skip the combo. Once I went in for lunch and they were out of hot dogs so I had to get a slice of pizza. Not nearly as tasty as the hot dogs!! Ours has recently started selling churros that are better than the ones sold at the Mexican bakery.

you should watch the vid on how they make the meat slurry they form them with.

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

I rarely eat a hot dog! LOL

I don't eat hot dogs very often, either. If I think about it, I can't eat them. Same goes for deli meat now that I know about the meat glue (ugh!), and also ground beef. Every once in a while I will have a hamburger, but I ahve not bought ground beef ever since I watched Food, Inc. I keep saying I'm buying a grinder to make my own, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

The girls and I went to Fabricland. No word on whether DD#1 is pregnant or not. :-/

DD#2 bought enough fabric for an entire wardrobe of pre-1600's clothing and I bought a Frixion pen (You use it for embroidery and the marks disappear when you iron it)- on sale so I saved over a dollar on it.

Okay it is back to the sewing machine for me!
