Stuff of the Day.

Questions of the Day:

What are you doing to save money during this economic downslide?

Anything and everything! We are taking Financial Peace University by Dave Ramsey, which is helping us out a lot, and really opening our eyes to the financial myths that are out there. We have adopted the "envelope method", where we allocate a certain amount of cash per week for food, gas, etc, and put that amount in separate envelopes. When its gone, its gone! Drew is gone this week, so I don't feel obligated to cook and will be living off Top Ramen. We also paid off three credit cards with Drew's sign on bonus!! Only a couple more to go, and we are planning on selling Drew's jeep. Anyone know of someone wanting to buy a really nice 1991 Jeep Wrangler? I also put about 10 ads up on craigslist. If its in our house and not nailed to the ground, its for sale! I think Brody is worried that he's next... ha.

What challenges in life have you conquered and emerged from a better person?

THE breakup 3 years ago. If you know me, you know what I'm talking about. Initially I did not emerge a better person, and rather became the opposite and completely let myself go and fall away from God. But, now, I've learned from all those mistakes and am back and better than ever. I really feel that I can truly worship and give God all of myself, without anything holding me back now. Before I went through those challenges, I was naive and didn't know what I was being saved from.

Laugh of the Day:

(thank you Peggy!)

The reason this is so funny to me: One of my nicknames is Blinkie, because according to my Sophomore Geometry teacher, I blink more than anyone he had ever met. I blinked so much during his class, that it became distracting to him. Of course, with my luck, my best friend also happened to be in that class with me, and she took the liberty to tell everyone outside of class... And the nickname has stuck. Thank yoooou Mr. Tucker!

As much as I can't stand Pelosi... I think I have found my twin. Lord help me.
