So for today, I’ve joined the bullet bandwagon. The only thing is that amongst the 10 bullets, I’ve added 3 lies. Can you figure out which is which? It may be too challenging for some of you…
- We’ve been working on our landscaping–isn’t it amazing when it comes to owning a home how fast everything adds up, and how expensive little dinky- home improvement trinkets are?
- Michael and I are saving as much money as we can to pay off our house– One way we’ve found to save money, is to bring our own bread to fast-food drive-thrus, we only order condiments and then make condiment sandwiches. This drastically cuts on costs!
- This past weekend Michael and I drove up to Indianapolis where he competed in a regional speech contest. He came in SECOND and did a FABULOSO job! The guy who won had a style completely different than Michael’s, so it was obvious that the judges preferred the winner’s style over Michael’s. I know I’m biased, of course, but he did a GREAT JOB (deserving of first) and I’m so proud of him!
- Another way we’ve discovered to cut corners is to siphon our neighbors gas at night–cuts down on the rising gas costs considerably–and all-in-all averages our gas prices out to only $1 a gallon!
- I just took mail up to the mail room for work–yep, I ran all 66 letters through the meter for $.39. Got a call from a couple ladies who noticed my mistake– SO I had to go back up, run $.02 meter stickers, and place them on the envelopes in addition to the already LARGE postage mark. The size of the postage mark now takes up about half of the envelope. Hopefully the people who receive the mail will just attribute it to the ditz in the mail room. OOPS.
- To save more money for the next year we’ve decided to go to the bathroom elsewhere because tp is so expensive these days…
- Tonight, we’re having a cookout at our place to celebrate a couple from church’s upcoming wedding! Whoohoo! Then, tomorrow night, Michael and I are doing something to celebrate 6 years of marriage! He keeps dropping me clues that I have to figure out, but has not revealed where we’re going for sure– I do have a hunch because I begged him to go to see OKLAHOMA. This is the last weekend the show runs, so hopefully my hunch will be accurate!
- There’s still 2 more spots in the walking challenge if you want to join! You just have to do 2 things–it’s pretty easy–set a weekly goal for yourself and complete it, and do a little something every day! It’s great accountability to be moving! If you want to join, you’re still invited!
One more day until weekend!
OBVIOUSLY, the ‘cutting cost’ statements are not for real. However, we are always looking to cut costs and pay down our house aggressively…Wouldn’t Dave Ramsey would be proud??? 
… I’ve been recently thinking of some not-so-serious ways to do so, and thought I’d share the just-for-fun-but-I’d-really-never-do-it-ideas. 🙂
