Wow, what a fancy new look to the journals...........now, blogs. I've stepped into new territory.

Spent money all day long today. Big money too. Bought a new refrigerator, just to save me $100. Too funny. But, when replacing the kitchen floor tomorrow, the floor crew would charge $100 to put the old fridge back on the new floor..........and, since I hate it worse than the 28 days of rain we've just experience here...........I decided to get the new one ordered & have it delivered & installed instead.

Went to a thrift store to get dress up clothes for C. They had an odd offer.....buy their calendar (with coupons in the back) for $1.50..........and this months coupon was for $10.00 off. I ended up paying $29.00 for a huge sack of things for C. (they are really for me.......if he's busy & happy..........so am I!!)

Returned an item from Christmas, it didn't work, actually had the receipt, remembered to take it in and got a cash refund. Historically, I've left these kinds of things in the van for up to a year, then just dumped them. Felt good to take this one back.

Set moms hair, she insists on paying me for this each time. I think she sees me being more conscious of my spending & money in general...........and has decided I'm short on cash!! I assure her each time I'm just fine......but again.........an extra $20.00 on the counter in the bathroom when I went in there after she had left! (adding it to my stash now!!)

Have a 2nd student signed up for knitting classes next week. It always surprises me when people are willing.........more than willing, to pay me for something like this. Makes me grateful my parents took the time and energy to teach me all these kinds of things while I was growing up.
