Struggling To Find Ourselves

With August upon us tomorrow, and school starting again in a couple of weeks, I have made the realization that the holidays are right around the corner…again.  With that realization, we have to look into getting holiday cards and any gifts on the budget, gotten and sent in the next 3 or 4 months, which, in one way, sounds like we have plenty of time, but in another way, isn’t really all that long.  I guess I need to start pulling the holiday plans for meals and get-together’s together, also, as I figure that we will be “entertaining” at least a couple of times during this coming holiday season.

God Bless!

It seems like my house has computer parts laying all over the place!  We have everything from keyboards to an external hard drive to printers to scanners and everything in between.  I haven’t quite figured out what to do with the ones that we aren’t sure if they work or not.  Selling them on Ebay hasn’t worked to well, so far, but I heard that one of the major electronics stores in the big city does “trade-ins” and recycles the old electronics.  It MIGHT just be worth taking some of them with me the next time I go to the big city and doing that…even if we don’t get much trade-in value off of them.

God Bless!

Well, we aren’t getting QUITE as many of our plans done this Summer as we had hoped, but we are still getting the major ones done.

I’m not sure about outdoor fireplaces, but we are planning to put something similiar in our basement, probably next Summer to help heat the house and water for showers and such.  It is kind of an elaborate system that we have planned, but it should make a HUGE difference in our heating bills in the Winter!  As well as how warm the house stays!

God Bless!!

Another insurance that they recommend you have, but don’t tell you how to pay for on a tight budget is life insurance.  Some claim they are a cheap term life insurance company, but then they charge you alot of “hidden” fees for this and that and something else.  I’m not sure about you, but I’d like to avoid alot of the “hidden” fees associated with ANYTHING, if possible.

God Bless!

It seems like health insurance, or lack thereof, is a MAJOR challenge these days if you are looking to go to the doctor.  My question is:  How do you pay for it when you are working a minimum wage job, or are self employed?  Maybe Blue Cross NC is the answer for some of us!  Only research for your personal situation will answer that question.

God Bless!

If I felt a little more enthused, I would actually go to the trouble of looking up the word “phentermine” and do a good entry on it.  But, I am feeling a bit less than that enthused tonight, and have several of these entries that I need to do, so I guess it will just have to wait for another time.

LOTS of changes going on at house at the moment….some long-term changes that will be taking shape over the next several months….changes for the better, I think, in some ways….changes that will add some challenges, too.  More details as they come….

God Bless!

In this day and age, I find myself noticing that things are “The Best!”.  Who is to say what is “The Best”?  It seems like everything has that claim these days, from the best weight loss products to the best new car to buy.  There are so many choices out there that it’s kind of frustrating to me when someone is trying to sell me “The Best” of something, but it’s not quite right for me in my opinion.

God Bless!
