My sister called me and asked if I wanted that straightening iron ($80)(she is a hair dresser and gets good deals on supplies) I had said I was interested in awhile back. I said yes I did. Then I called her back and said, NO. I didn't want it, or need it. She asked me why and I said I would rather save that money for bikes for kids and couldn't really afford it, that my money was better spent else where. So I am going to take the money I saved from not shopping on my trip and put it on my credit line. I might have a nice snow flake at the end of the month.......Plus I don't have to scramble to come up with money for something I don't need. All I had to do was make an adult decision and then make the corresponding phone call.
I have also decided not to golf this year. It will save me the membership fee and I think I get worse at the game every year. I might take it up again when I have more time to practice. Right now I need to focus on kids, work, and debt repayment! I can go for walks and do yard work for outside activities.
I really did not feel like cooking last night.......And I thought I might take my BF out for dinner. Then I got to thinking...what do you want to eat? Oh oh oh I really quesadillas(sp?!?) You know the soft shells with the cheese in the middle. And then I thought, you know I have all the stuff to make that in my fridge. Get off your butt lady and go make some! And I did! I saved some money and they were awesome!
So I guess a bunch of things do add up. I know I wouldn't have that nice snow flake a brewing if all of the above really happened! Now if nothing comes up............my evil snow flake will come to fruition and that I'm gonna make that stupid little frog hop his butt off!!



Good for you. Go Frog, Go Frog, Go Frog....

Good for you! Way to resist temptation (and I know the temptation of a good straightener, lol)
I am trying SO HARD to resist temptation. Its easier this week because BF and I are so stinking busy in the next few weeks that we have no choice. We are going to a movie on Thursday, but thats on him because I paid for groceries this week.
I too want to focus on my debt. I know the feeling of just getting sick of looking at it! Here's to motivation and keeping on going!

Do you have a freecycle group near you. It is on yahoo groups. If you are an early riser. Which we are not. There are a ton of people on there that when they go to seperate their bulbs they give the extras away.
I know how you love flowers it will be worth a check in on each day. Might be able to get some great free flowers.
