Well here it is the last day of 2018. Tomorrow we start a new year with new plans and goals and who am I kidding, like tomorrow is going to miraculously change everything. Many a New Years plan will fail but I figure if you don't even have a plan or a goal you have already failed so you might as well plan large and make an attempt. I think it is the mental idea of a New Year that spurs most of us on. Plus the months of January and February are always hard in the north so have a goal to work on even if it peters out in March is still a good thing.
Daughter is not yet home from the court house and I am waiting for her to go out and do a few more Christmas sales for next years things. I would like to find some candied pineapple and some nuts to freeze. Maybe a few gifts for next year.
This is my last day as my austere measures will go into affect tomorrow.
Monday money saving Madness
1. Home for two days between trips and spent nothing on groceries so we did not have to worry about leaving things to go bad.
2. packed snacks for our trip to save on food.
3. purchased gas at places where it was cheaper than in town
4. hit some good sales in Twin falls and bought several next year Christmas gifts.
5. purchased many next year gifties at sales in Lewiston
6 .made a batch of bread, froze two loaves and brought 1.5 with me to Twin Falls.
7. wearing some new clothes that I relieved as gifts. Satisfies the new to me without the cost.
I am looking forward to going home and enjoying the New Year with a new outlook. How about you?
Kim
I absolutely love the beginning of a new year and all the plans that I have-even if some don't get accomplished. So much more does get done if one has a plan. Anne
ReplyDeleteI know at least we attempt to try right?
DeleteCounting my blessings. Happy New Year, Kim! May 2019 be filled with much love, happiness & good health for you & your family!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I will settle with good health.
DeleteI always love setting goals, and tracking my progress.It's just how I'm wired, and keeps me motivated. Sending you good thoughts for an amazing 2019!
ReplyDeleteI am kind of wired that also, but I have failure written on many things.
DeleteHappy New Year, Kim. I wish you all the best in 2019!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Belinda , I hope yours is as merry as can be.
DeleteEven if most of my goals fall short. I like the start of a new year, new opportunities, and all that. Apparently the count down has happened in Hong Kong-just heard it repeated, and the BBC shared UK is just an hour an 1/2 form the new year. I guess it truly is 2019. Best wishes Kim, my friend, have a great evening.
ReplyDeleteWwe will. We will eat to much and tomorrow I will start to be good!
ReplyDeleteI have goals for 2019, but they won't start until tomorrow. I feel like New Year's Day is meant for celebrating.
ReplyDeleteWell I started some of mine today. Blah is all I can say.
DeleteBlessings. Thought I'd pop by.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I think about you often. How are you?
DeleteHi Kim,
ReplyDeleteI love your outlook. Even if we fail at some of our resolutions, we win on others. So it is worth trying. I look forward to another year of watching your amazing progress on paying down your debt.
Thanks I am raring to go!
