I'm kind of chicken to post on my work computer (although I've done it once or twice). One time I did it, and it didn't show up. That was SUPER annoying! I've been working soccer games about 4 times per week. I still have tae kwon do classes to attend and sing in the choir at church (and UMW on the first Wednesday of the month). I don't get online at home much. I'm doing well to keep up with laundry and the dirty dishes. Things will slow down mid-march. A little.
I kept a spending journal last month, but I haven't analyzed it. When I do, I'll post anything I find interesting there. For the first time in my 6 years as a school counselor, my campus celebrated National School Counselor Week. I got a card which people signed and wrote nice things on, and they got me a $25 gift card to JoAnn's. It's so nice to be somewhere I fit in and am appreciated.
Since I can't comment from home, here are all my comments from various posts:
Uncle Sam, another good way to get rid of unwanted pantry items is to donate them to your local food bank. I bought some black beans that were the same brand where someone found a rat's head in a can of their green beans, so I decided I didn't want those beans. I took them to the food bank. The TV said it was a fluke and that brand is OK, but I just couldn't bring myself to open one up.
Momcat, it freaks me out that my cholesterol isn't a whole lot lower than yours (who eats white bread, butter, and cheese). My ratio was a lot better, but my overall is 183 and my HDL is 72. I'd like to know what the other sisters' numbers are like. It will be interesting to see if cutting back on protein will improve my numbers.
Roothy, the dental hygenist I go to says my teeth are in exceptional shape and she credits the Sonic Care for that - so splurge away. You'll save money in the long run by protecting your oral health (since it appears we got crappy cardiovascular genes and will need extra money to keep our arteries clear).
As far as the economy goes, I know my personal retirement accounts have lost money, but I just live on the hope that the stock market has these dips periodically, but that the overall trend has always been up. I should be able to count on my teacher retirement. The other accounts are just extra for me. Worst case - I have to continue to work well into my 60's instead of retiring in my late 50's or early 60's.
(I just had to edit my post because I misspelled school!)

I know what you mean, Kipsy, about posting using your work computer. I worry about it because I work for the county and they have strict rules about lobbying or any kind of political influencing even though for the most part we all pretty much agree on most issues. What I do is bring my personal laptop and post after hours or on breaks. I do use the library wifi but that's for public use any way. What I need to do is get in the habit of posting on the weekend.
ReplyDeleteAs far as getting rid of my unwanted pantry items goes, the postal service does a once a year food drive where you can leave non-perishables by your mailbox. I do that every year. Can't beat the convenience.
