My spending today was pretty much dedicated to our pets. I was out of cat litter so picked up some on sale with coupons at Walgreen's. Over at Wal Mart I picked up a 4 pack of canned cat food. My daughter's favorite goldfish was on the floor dead this morning. She was crying over it. I let her buy 4 more at Wal Mart as well as we bought another container of food.
I did buy a few grocery items too while at Wal Mart.
And, I did it again. I forgot to ask my husband about his spending today. All that I know of are the 2 items that he bought for me. Oh wait, he did come home with soda too.
I found my figures from August and will start adding each category up. I will give some reports on those throughout the month with a comparison of spending in each at the end of this month.

Welcome to another week of squidoo blog hopping. I'm still in hopes that over time many will join in. I love squidoo. I enjoy seeing what lenses others build as well as getting to know other lensmasters.
This past week I actually worked on 5 different lenses.
Meet Our Pets was at the bottom of the list and has needed to be updated for a long time. I finally got that updating done. I couldn't bear to take out the old photos as we miss those cats that are no longer with us. I've left those in for memory sake.
I got started on Our Homeschooling Journey 2010/2011 Part 5. This will be the last of this years series. I've included a poll on advice on what to do for next year. I hope you will let me know what you think.
Yesterday was my grandson's 2nd birthday. In honor of his day I built This Day In History June 1. I'm getting more of these done and really enjoy making them.
Then, I messed with Our Unschooling Journey Part 3. I was thinking that I had updated part 4....oops! I will have to work on 4. There isn't much updating one can do to lenses of this type.
Last but not least by any means...I updated my Earn Money Online lens. I deleted some and added some! I hope you will check it out.

I've been busily working on here today to hurry and get a lot of my things done on here this morning. I want to have most of my things done by noon.
I got a lot of the file box done from the Sidetracked Home Executives book. I'm pretty well done except for the birthdays, anniversaries etc and the address cards, but those in themselves are going to take a few days.
I didn't get any extra posting done on gather yesterday other than a post about a bill collector calling. I did post 3 photos, and I made my goal of 100 points of the day with 101. I am in hopes of cashing out of April 1 for both a $50 and a $25 amazon.
I updated a book review squidoo lens as well as my pets lens. I added photos on the pets including of the new kittens. I hope you will take a look. Meet Our Pets
I got my daughter to drive herself to pick her kids up from school so that gave me more time at home. Today's plans include taking my mom to her dr. appt. and bowling this evening. I will take my address file and address print outs to both places to work on.
I'm off now...don't forget to wear your green today!

Good Morning! It got windy and cold out and they say as the day goes by it will get windier and colder bringing in some freezing rain that will last through Tuesday. I did some shopping yesterday, but think I better send my daughter to the store for a few gallons of milk and a couple loaves of bread so we can avoid going out on the ice if need be.
I didn't get a lot of time on the computer yesterday, but still did get some things done. Cleaning the house wasn't one of them, so I am setting the timer today for 15 minutes of cleaning, then doing some work on the computer. I will do this for as long as it takes to whip this basement back in to shape. My daughter and her boyfriend are working on cleaning out the middle bedroom upstairs to make that their bedroom for now.
Speaking of my grocery shopping, I just posted at gather on what I got and how much I saved etc. Dillon's Buy 10 Get an Additional $5 off Sale
For today's squidoo lens I want to feature the one I made featuring our pets. It's cute and over time I will update the photos. Meet Our Pets
It's back to work on the house, but have a great weekend and stay warm!

Good Morning! Looks like the high today is supposed to be 60º but tomorrow the high drops back down to 39º. Better enjoy today while we can.
I found a daily ride to work each day this month with another gal that works in the kitchen. I have 11 more days of work this month then I am done!! I turned in my official resignation yesterday. Just doing that took a weight off my shoulders.
I am calling it a giant leap of faith, but I know that God will provide.
I got some of the Christmas gifts wrapped and under the tree last night. I think the only stuff I need to worry about buying yet is some little things from the dollar store for the grandkids. That and a couple more of the $1 rolls of wrapping paper. I'm hoping my wellness360 check will get here this week so that I can get that last shopping done.
Today's featured squidoo lens is Meet Our Pets. It also happens to be a new one that I built Sunday. It's my 36th lens. Meet Our Pets I share several photos here that I hope you will enjoy. Pets are a joy.
In other news, Heather has her math tutoring today, so I am hoping I get no grief from my daughter and her boyfriend on getting her there and back. It might be warm enough to chance taking the van, however, it's not been started since last Wednesday so I'm willing to bet the battery is dead. This evening is also bowling league, something I look forward to each week.
Until tomorrow, have a glorious day!
Marsha
