Pillow Talk!

March 4th, 2009 at 06:02 am

I set a goal at the beginning of the year to get back into the habit of having a Freedom Account - which is the name Mary Hunt gave to her household escrow account that includes all those non-monthly expenses like clothes, household, pets, etc. Our household account accumulated enough that, with some careful shopping, I was able to buy a new bedspread set ($34.99) for our king size bed...sheets...and 8 pillows. 8 pillows is alot, but I bought standard, queen and king size pillows of all firmnesses. Since we have never bought a headboard/footboard for our bed, these pillows substitute for a headboard, support while we sit in bed and read, tv, etc. I got everything for under $100...and I feel like I am at a nice resort with the new bedding. I am loving it!! Ive had the new bedding for about 4 days now...and each night it feels like I am truly pampered....and it was all in the budget, so no new debt incurred!

All of the deposits are done for the final payment on the Villa, so I will be mailing the check tomorrow. I cant believe this vacation is sneaking up like it is!

I have decided NOT to do school next semester...it is just proving way too much added pressure and stress right now. So, I have a little over two weeks left of school and then an indefinate break for a weary gramma. I truly have pooped myself out.

We are planning a bonfire this weekend with the whole family. We will bbg burgers and dogs...and enjoy all the babys around the fire. Smile Cheap, fun entertainment!!

    I like this idea! Why didn't I think of such an account? Hmmmm... So many things we'd like to have - including new bedding! I think that will start this week, even if just a small amount at first. Thanks!!

    Opps...one more thing...off the subject but it made me think of you. I got a new puppy. Her mom is a Yellow Lab! Not sure about the dad, but I'm begining to think he is a Great Dane. She gained 10 pounds in 3 weeks between her 1st and 2nd set of shots. Are you out of the puppy business?

    You have to listen to your body sometimes and take that break when you need it.

    S. Suz- wow do youhave a good memory!! I enjoyed mylast litter of lab puppies a couple of years ago. I still see some of my offspring...but do not breed anylonger. Breeding and working full time just was too much.Congrats on the pup...u should post a pic. Just keep in mind that labs LOVE lots of attention and are true puppies for a couple of years. Enjoy!!

    Everyone else...thanks!! I really am enjoying my new spa-feeling bedroom!! ahhhhhhh.....
