No money out of my pocket today-just out of my flexcare medical. Had both breakfast and dinner at my parents. Breakfast was beause we had family in visiting, and supper was my annual birthday dinner. Got several gift certificates and a little cash. The girls each got me something, including a CD case-the book kind. I am thinking since it has the clear pages in it, I may use it for coupons...will try it and see how it goes. Got my paycheck today-if you can call it that. Since I have been staying home with daughter #2, it only had 4 days on it. I am used to 10 days plus overtime. But, all of this months bills were paid, so I am ok till next month. Next payday I will have to transfer money from savings to equal my paycheck. Next week is my neices birthday. She will be 9. I already have several ideas in mind for her present. Actually they are items I bought at Christmas time and have not done yet. One is a child sized cooking apron--I will dectorate it up for her, and then in a jar put the dry ingredents for a cake or cookies with the receipe. The other is a photo album that she can do herself. She also likes gardening, so I think I will get her some seeds and plants as well.--maybe some herbs that are used in pizza making. she would love that.
