Hello Everyone!
Greetings from the wet state of Oregon!

We are back a DAY EARLY from vacation. We spent the last two days cooped up in the trailer due to rain, RAIN and MORE RAIN...today was so bad, we couldn't even see the ocean it was so foggy/rainy... so we decided to head home and enjoy the comforts of our home and our own bed.

Dont misunderstand...We had a a GREAT time...lots of talking and just unwinding and relaxing...I got to do all the knitting and movie watching I wanted. DH slept alot. (He needed it)

We stayed fairly close to budget...but we also splurged a couple of times...and enjoyed doing so! DH took me to Outback for dinner tonight...(tomorrow is my 45th...and the kids have planned a 'surprise' bbq here at my house.) ...so tonight was 'our time'.

I am eager to catch up on all of your blogs to see what you've been up to!

Oh, while I was gone, I got an apology email from Wells Fargo-- remember that $25 GC I had all but given up on??? Well, they finally discovered they had emailed the WRONG certificate number...and I did receive a good number and have redeemed it already...so my internet savings account bonuses have all come through!! (yeah!)

Now I am going to open DH a couple and see if we can be as lucky a second time!

I also received the last of my expected rebate checks..$2.47 colgate...which will go into my $20 challenge...I am anxious to deposit all of my bonus money and update that total!

Good to be home!
Will enjoy your posts over coffee in the am!
