Thursday, Some financial Goals


 I finished the book club book last night.  Not my fave, actually found it irritating. Here one moment, but I slogged through. As you can imagine, I don't like to waste time on something I find annoying. The book was not for me.

But tonight, I have book club and will enjoy the company. I found a Swedish Almond cake made at Christmas in my freezer, so I will serve that with whipped cream, and strawberries.  I will need to go and get strawberries.  I also have some left-over chocolates that Sissie made and some leftover Christmas candy.  Use it up is the motto here.

I finished all but one of the Nunsense costumes last night, so that is the first thing on the agenda after this post.  Then I have to dust the house a little and vacuum that whole place.  I need to mop the floors, which won't take long. The house will be spic and span after that!!

I did get the dreaded spare room closet cleaned and I now have three bags to take to goodwill. It is amazing how closets just multiply things; I am sure we have nothing to do with it....

 It is another beautiful sunny day here and I will take it! As we often don't get sun, just dreary overcast.  The utility man from the county was out to mark the fence line, so that is done and the contractor can get started on the fence posts.

My joy today is a clean house, oh and also costumes, finished, oh and also friends coming over. Lots of joys today.

So, onto some financial stuff. I was told never to use stuff in my writing, but here goes:

1. save all my $5 bills (have no idea what goal this will fulfill I am just doing it, maybe travel) 

2. save a penny a day (I fail at this every year, but I am not a quitter)

3. Save all my change, (again not very lucrative when you are not spending money)

These are fun goals for me, I do need to come up with some other strategies for the year, I guess I am starting out slow!

Any joys you want to share?

God is good

  1. My joy today was coffee in the morning, sunshine for most of the day, the furnace not running very much because of the sun saving electrical and gas costs, and getting the carrots grated to make muffins tomorrow.
    I love your fun goals.

    God bless.

  2. My joy today was dinner out with my parents. We had a fun waitress and shared many laughs.

  3. I really enjoyed "Here One Moment" (I had to google it to see what it was about and realized it was one of the {only three} books I had read last year...).

    I hope today is filled with lots of joy, too.
