Getting our finances together

It’s crazy to have to be a “grown up” and figure out all the different things you need to make sure you are financially secure. Right now I have to find out how much our term life insurance quotes us for the whole “in the event we need to cash this out” scenario. I am in the process of finding every bill we ever paid, every receipt we ever got… it’s a daunting task. I hope that I can find enough paperwork to get us a baseline for what we have to do in the coming months.


No Feast, The Man is off, grocery time

No Friday Feast today. The chef is on vacation…that’s what www.fridaysfeast.com says.

The Man is off work today. What does that mean? Grocery shopping fun. I have to say that I have begun to loathe going shopping. We usually have to go get gas first, which is fantabulous. I just heard that it went to $4 a gallon since yesterday afternoon. Then we have to travel to the Outer Banks of our city to get to the grocery store that has things for less than the grocer around the corner. We buy enough that the gas money spent is worth it. Of course, today, I am not so sure how this is going to work out.

What else is on tap for the day? Well the Man is probably going to his Jiu Jitsu class. The Kid had his yesterday. I don’t think the Man will want company tonight, but we shall see.

I am actually really tired and I wish that I could be alone.

In Love With 1

That’s my name on hi5 anyway. Does anyone I know through here have a hi5 account? If so, look me up. inlovewith1 is my addy. I don’t want to link it just in case a spammer decides I should be his bestest friend in the world LOL.

I am a joining junkie. I really have to stop joining so many things. I don’t know why I feel the need to keep joining all these things. I just don’t want to “miss out” on anything. I am on the ning network, too…mostly because I did that NaBloPoMo thing on my craft blog.

I have a project in the making called the Plastic Bag Rehabilitation Center.I just started it yesterday, so it’s just the bones of a pretty awesome website. I have it in my head, I just have to put it out in code and pictures.

  11. Hold The Fone
  12. Dont, Inaccessible After Five
  13. Hi There Hello

Nature’s Gifts

Going back to natural and trying to go green has me thinking on a lot of things that could be swapped for more nature friendly products. I am working on plastic bag recycling, which I will share with you all soon. There has been an resurgence of all natural products like natural acne treatments, natural hair cair products, and organic foods. I am trying to do my part to keep my little square of the world as environmentally friendly as I can. I try to use vinegar and baking soda to clean moreso than other products on the market with harsh chemicals. Nature gives us so many great gifts to use in our homes. What have you gone green with in recent months?
