Waste of TIME?

For all my readers I want to take the time to list all the things I do in a day to waste time, take notes.  

1. Webkinz, yes I do my garden and daily activities every morning with my breakfast and tea.  On my account, not the kids.  

2. Bloggin'

3. Realtor.com  

4. Facebook (as of today, thanks Nicole!)  I just have to say I got lots of friends that emailed me within minutes of signing up on Facebook. Do you all just keep it on your browser?  I did see someone I went to school with and he has not aged well.  I'm keeping my picture and maiden name top secret!   

5.  Photoshop elements designing a background for #2.

6. Online news, I can't watch my news because of the kiddo's.  I read more than I should like entertainment "news".  I can tell you what kind of car Paris bought last month, great things to know! A Pink Bentley in case you too need to be in the "KNOW".  Yes, pink.  Do you want to guess the cost?  

7. WIKI ~ never ask me a question I can't answer because I will WIKI or google it.  Loads of useless information upstairs.  LOADS!  BUS loads, maybe train loads!  

And last but not least #8

EMAIL!  I love the sound of my BING!

Those are your adult activities. Don't beat yourself up too much but there is always room for improvement.

I stopped to think about all the TV shows we used to watch each and every week. Talk about a waste of time???

I can justify doing junk on the computer but it isn't much better than the boob tube, I guess.

Low Expectations

Mark and I took the kids a couple of years ago to Orlando for a weekend.  Nathan was less than a year old, Alexandra must have just turned 2 and Madison was 4.  I look back and laugh but at the time it was anything but funny.  A trip to Disney would be fun and relaxing right?  HA!  We never even made it to Disney because Madison was so ornery the day we were going to go I couldn't justify going.  We learned a lot about being parents of three young kids that weekend.   During our stay we took the kids to the Rainforest Cafe.  Nathan was terrified the whole meal and after our $75 lunch Madison threw up all over the table and floor.  That is when Mark made the rule we don't take the kids to a restaurant unless it has a drive thru, curbside doesn't count.  We really do stick to that rule and the only sit down "nice" restaurant we go to with the kids is Sonny's BBQ.  Before we left I wanted to get the kids a little something from the Disney Marketplace.  I took the...

True Friends

I am on Facebook daily and love flair.  I had a local friend send me flair that said , " True friendship isn't being inseparable. It's being separated and nothing changes."  I'm hoping that once I leave this area I have many friends that are true friends.  This post is an ode to such a friend.  One friend of mine moved away many years ago and I realized the other night that she is that just that friend.  It doesn't matter if time or many miles separates us she is a true friend.  I realized after a long conversation on the phone with that person (her mostly listening) that I have a gem of a friend and I am so grateful for her.  I just wanted to send out a shout to that person, you know who you are and let you know I think your the best!   Maybe one day God will let us live in the same city.   It is funny as you get um... well.... older you start to have friends all over the country.  I do have many friends all over the place and each of you are special to me.  ...

Intentional Spending

I first want to say I am not cheap!  I don't buy the cheapest item just because I want to save money.  I do like finding a good deal on things that are high quality.  I don't like sacrificing quality for price.  I try to never pay full price for anything.   When I say our spending it intentional what I mean is that Mark and I sit down around November and hash out the budget.  Some things are constants in the budget.  Mortgage, phone, insurance pretty much stay the same.  Some vary like gas, water, electric.  After years of budgeting we can average out what we spent the year before and add if needed to the new budget.   Here is what we do know we have to pay something first so they go in the budget first.  Then what is "leftover" is up for dividing.  This is not a fool proof plan. Medical never gets budgeted enough money.  Which is why you should have a savings account.  Every category gets a set amount of money tha...
