So slow that....

1) My house is spanking clean
2) All the laundry is done
3) Been going to the health club so much that I might get toned 'this time'
4) Have no 'disposable' money so can't do lunch, or play golf in this great weather
5) Had to again call my cell phone to see if it's charged and working
6) Doing lots of free stuff like going to the cider mill or to see the new Nordstroms
7) Running errands 'in geographical order' so as not to use too much gas
8) Using coupons for grocery store, movies, and dining out at cheapo restaurants
9) Spacing my haircuts further apart due to cost
10) Spending more time in front of the TV

How about you?

Wouldn't be so bad if I had funds to do long lunches and shop!

I am once again recyling my own cans and bottles for gas money, instead of giving them away to the garbage company.

I took the time to rake leaves before cutting the grass. Kept my hands busy.

Yeah...having enough money to do lunches and shop would be a dream. I need my hair done so bad that I am considering doing a "bottle job" myself $8.00 vs $125.00 at the salon- sad but ture that the $8.00 really does not even fit the tight, tight, tight budget. LOL! Hope my toner lasts, until I get paid out on some more Sept jobs.

Funny thing is to have the time to do things like have lunch with a dear friend or have a great day to go shopping or golfing and then to not have the money to do the things you have the time to do!

THAT'S THE WAY IT IS!!!
I have painted my bathroom 3 times.
My hallway once and my kitchen twice.
I couldn't find the right color. and I had plenty of time to do it.
However, I have not been back to the gym.

Hey newbies, are you reading this thread?

So slow that I am home at night to hang with my teenage daugher and watch stupid TV shows with her so we will feel "connected".

Had 2 signings this week, would of had a third but the BO had to leave her home @ 11am and the docs were not sent till 11:30am. The title company was like we did our job (it was an 10am appointment) Gotta love west coast companies.

Running around getting last minute stuff done or covered. My wife will be induced Thursday night and by Friday I should be a dad.
