Frugal Friday July 30TH
Today is daughters Birthday.So instead of going out to eat and then having cake, I made it at home.She wanted BBQ ribs and the trimmings.It would have cost us 3 plus her best friend around $80 not including cake. So for under $20 bucks im making grilled ribs, corn on the cob,sweet potato's and bread. With a strawberry cake.This will include 2 adults 2 teens and 2 grandsons. Plus we have all the leftovers.
If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal. Not to
people or things.

Am going to head to the pool by 10AM so I can get my exercising in first hing today.
Have physical therapy at 1PM and will run any errands I have in town.
This afternoon I want to pull out fabric for the preschoolers' pillows, then cut and sew them. I picked up the fiberfill yesterday so we will be all set to have the little ones stuff their pillows on Monday - it's such a great fine motor activity.
Also I'd love to sew the denim circles for the quilt or table runner I'm playing around with.
DH and I are going to an Eagle Scout presentation and then dinner tonight. For his project, he organized the painting of my preschool - at one time there were 47 painting in my room!!
What is your Friday looking like?Travel light. The baggage of the past can only hold you back.

Worked this morning, and left at 1:00. Woo-hoo, early weekend! Now I'm laying on my bed surfing the web because I am exhausted from last night's county fair and rodeo. Fun but expensive!
I plan on doing some laundry in a bit and doing the dishes. DH wants to go camping tonight, but I think I can talk him out of it and stay home and relax instead! lol
