    Default Frugal Friday 5/8

    I have the next 3 days off yippee!!! The Harley shop just called and the bike is done so we will be picking it up this afternoon. It was there for the 10,000 mile check-up and something to do with the 110. I have to do dishes later, after dinner. Once fiancee leaves for work I want to work on the kitchen cabinets some more. I swear I can't get anything done when he works nights but I'm not going to complain(too much) because he makes a lot more money driving than loading trucks. The housework will always be here but that money is a precious thing these days. Hope everyone has a good day.

    I have one daycare girl here, so we are just hanging out. I need to:
    unload the dishwasher
    finish the laundry
    clean out the plastic ware cupboard

    Then tonight, we may run to the grocery store.

    I have been cleaning this morning. Dusted living room, dining room. Wiped dow the cabinets and counters, swept, vacuumed....does it ever end? Oh, and lets not forget laundry, lol. Still need to clean the bathroom and figure out what I am going to cook for supper.

    We have a storm brewing, so I may just sit and watch it rain for a while.
    Have a great Friday everyone!

    I cut up and put three trays of strawberries in the dehydrator and a loaf of bread in the bread maker, dumped my kitchen compost in the compost pile and then hubby and I rode around on the Harley checking out garage sales. We didn't find anything to buy, but at least we saved gas by using the motorcycle instead of the truck.

    We came home to take the bread out of the bread maker, check the strawberries, and eat an early lunch (cuz we didn't eat breakfast). We are getting ready to head out on the Harley to check out some more garage sales in the area.

    Made brownies and a lei for friend's birthday celebration at work today.
    Packing up for the day.
    Made coffee to go.
    Made lunch - white chicken chili - last night for the luncheon.
    Weighed myself - ugh - at least today is anotherr day!!

    Loved hearing about all the motorcycle riding going on - always makes me think of spring and the words .... 'get your motors going, get out on the highway..........'

    Have a lovely Friday!!

    Started off a rainy day here, but now the sun is shining and it is so warm. Love it! Did the morning routine and my workout. Cleaned the sunroom. Cleaned off the terrace and made sure the furniture was vacuumed and dusted off.Moved all my potted plants outdoors- Whew! Transplaned a few plants into larger pots. Stopping now for lunch. Afterwards will clean the front and back porches. This afternoon is a ladies out fun and fitness . Our girlie gang is headed to the gym for swimming and weights. Also steaming and soaking, then to a friends house to clean up a bit and go out for the evening. . Should be fun. Hope you all have a great Friday.
