My life, my pond, my world

Welcome to my lil private pond of life, love, happiness, frustration, anger, frugality, independence, spending, and thrift shopping ways of life. I have traveled down many paths to get where I am today, some good some not so good, but come and have a lil insight of my daily activities and the normal trials and tribulations of my frugal life. I will keep you posted on my journey as well as probably fill your head with a lot of rambling because I tend to do that when I have so many thought coming out at once. So pick up a few cookies that I have left for you on the table,and grab some nice hot coffee and sit down and enjoy my lil pond called LIFE!.

  2. Well I survived,

    Yep, the tent camping trip wasn't all that bad anyways. Last Saturday was a bit rainy driving down, but once we reached NJ it became a light mist which eventually stopped. Yay. So we took tons of pictures, we managed to stay on our budget, I took out 160.00 from the savings account and had 50 from last week saved up, so our cash money was enough and the only thing we put on the card was our dinner at Menz's which was $60.94. I'm so proud of ourselves, the way this budget is working, (which entails ...

    by , 09-03-2009 at 03:35 PM (My life, my pond, my world)
    Omg how is it so, and if its so, how come my birthday is tomorrow and I'm a year older. Eek, can we say 41, yep, that’s it, I said it. I had a fit when I turned 40 and now to say im' over 40 is even worse. Oh well, not much to do about it, at least I'm told I don’t act 40, nor look at it, so I guess something could be said about that. Oh and California Tortilla added a free burrito on my reward card, can we say YAY,plus I rec'd a $5.00 coupon from Hoss's steak house to use for my birthday up until ...
