22. I got a book from the library |
|
I've used my copier like crazy. . it's called "The Complete Tightwad Gazette" and I love it! I tried the recipe for her seafood casserole and it was great. Also, I got my husband to pull over for a garage sale. For four dollars he got a boogie board and a 3-piece luggage set -- all brand new! Admittedly, the luggage bears the name of a liquor company, but it's fine.

We are walking every chance we can to avoid using the car. My job is 35 mins away. So gas is gonna get steep. We are planning to move closer ASAP.

I paid the mortgage and the bills, tuition, bought groceries, and used the rest for hurricane relief. I had to put off my donation to the Idaho Democrats, but my contact said he understood that the hurricane relief was more pressing and that it was okay to send my donation to the Democrats in a few weeks.
