pocket change…

 

starting over...

{sigh}    seems like we have a long way to go again huh??   we cashed in today (thank Goodness Glenn was home to help)  big guns to carry the basket into the bank!!!   🙂     and the total was   $505.91  !!!!!!   wow.   I was amazed,  I guessed $700, he guessed $200.    ( I won with a closer guess, but we still split the money!!)   unfair??  yeah, I thought so too.   LOL  !!!!!!     now, would we have been able to put $500 in savings since the first of the year??   probably not.  This seemed SO easy though, and we are starting again, with the .91 cents that was the odd change.   Hey, you gotta start somewhere!! 

Glenns hours were drastically cut at work over the winter, so having used up his vacation time unwillingly, we will more than likely not be doing an actual vacation this summer.  So, instead of putting the money towards that, we each have plans for what we got, as a special treat for even SURVIVING this last winter.  He is buying some sort of weedeater, or leaf blower or something of the sort.  Those who know Glenn, will  find this VERY easy to believe.  I think it is a DUMB way to spend it, but he did not ask for my advise .  haha.  

I have already purchased MY item, and it IS A GOOD ONE!!!!!!!!!!  (of course)  I will take pics as soon as I get everything arranged for it, but trust me, as soon as you see it, you may want to come over and visit, or maybe even take a nap here, or read a book, have a lemonade,  etc etc etc…..you know, one of those relaxing activities that I am so in love with.    Any guesses???  and for the record, even GLENN loves what I got.  hummmm….  another reason I kept my weedeater opinion to myself.  

Sometimes it is just easier to patronize their awesome ideas afterall.   😀

AND DON’T FORGET……BIG BIG HUGE NEWS COMING……maybe???   tomorrow????? !!!!!!!!!

(oh yeah, and I am also doing the math for cost effectiveness on the “Simply Wonderful” laundry soap.  You WILL be shocked!!!)
