No $ spent, stayed in all day

January 14th, 2007 at 03:17 am

We aren't exactly iced it, but didn't want to risk it. I think the doors are iced shut on my vehicle. DH car and the farm truck are inside the garage and barn, so if we had to get out we could have. Spent the day cleaning and reorganizing the kitchen. I moved all the baking stuff, including my stand alone mixer to one area of the kitchen. Then, above that area I hung a small bulliten board that I found in the basement. I am going to use it to keep the grocery list and whatever receipe I am baking at the time on. I also moved all the kitchen appliances that we don't use at least once a week to the basement pantry. (I have a smaller pantry upstairs and restock it from the basement as needed). That freed up a lot of counter space and makes the kitchen look much neater. I also hung a quilt rack above the mud room window. Our mud room is an alcove off the kitchen-on the way to the garage that houses the pantry, cleaning supplies, washer and dryer, etc. That is where DH keeps most of his John Deere collection. So, on top the quilt rack (its the type with a shelf on it) I put some of his collection. Then, I am making him some curtains out of John Deere fabric. They will hang from the rack in place of a quilt. That window is on the north side, so if it gets too cold, I could even hang a quilt or blanket up there. However, the house is fairly new and the windows are the energy efficient type. I also did some baking--used Jodi's pumpkin receipe and made some muffins and bread. Found 8 cents while cleaning. Thru it in my "found money" jar. So far this year I have found $1.93. Last year I found almost $100, but it got a big boost when I found two $20 bills while walking in the park. I am surprised how much cash I find on the ground in parking lots. If I park further from the store, which I often do to get more exercise, the more cash I tend to find.
I hope we still start our Dave Ramsey program tomorrow evening at church. But, with the weather-snow and ice, they may push it back a week. We have had an 'informal' meeting once, but this next one is to actually get our materials and start it. I did once years ago, and am anxious to do this one.

    Love Dave RamseySmile We have an ongoing class at church. Even though I'm a "graduate", I occasionally go just because I like it!
