To top that off, I have been really watching our budget and setting goals to cut spending here and there and apply what I save to make extra mortgage payments. I've been tracking our spending since January.

I couldn't get us below spending $200 on eating out a month. Well, last month (June) we only spent $79!!!!! Also, we went from $400 a month in gas to $324!!! I'm so excited.
That is amazing and wonderful! I'm so excited for you. Keep up the great work!


I'm also trying to kick the habbit of pop but it's balancing out because I'm drinking more water and only have a diet once in a while. Eventually I plan to get to none, so again, amazing job.

My mother-in-law had a great day yesterday!

My hubby and I have come down to stay with my mother-in-law while my sister-in-law and her husband (who live with her and are her primary caregivers) have a little much-needed time off. My MIL has recently (5 weeks ago) lost her husband of 57 years and is suffering from early-stage Alzheimers. Her primary problems are short-term memory loss, dementia, and depression. She's deteriorated somewhat in the few weeks since we saw her last (understandable, under the circumstances).

This doesn't sound much like good news so far, but yesterday we had an old family friend over during the day, and my brother-in-law's family over for a barbecue in the evening. It was a wonderful day! She still slept a lot, but after she got up she was talking with everyone and joking and generally having a great time. I've always adored her, and it was just wonderful to see a glimpse of her old self again!!

John left a beer in the fridge before he left for work, so I took it and made beer bread
(He better not notice its gone!
)

It smells SO good, I can't wait to eat it!
I'm really excited cuz he never lets beer sit in the fridge (too many times friends come over and help themselves
)

Come on guys, this thread should always be alive and kickin!!


This morning while I was eating breakfast, I had a furry, purring cute little Trout creature on my lap, and she was being so cute!! (before she started biting me) I always say, if she's purring, its a surefire sign I'm going to get bit



(Isn't it weird that they like to cuddle when you have to leave for work in like 2 minutes?)

No more good news? Come on people... stay positive.

I have a good news...


I got an A+ in my first Spanish class!!!



This is my first A+ too. All the other classes I took so far were in history and A+ is almost impossible to get in history. I was usually fluctuating between A and A-.
The grading in that Spanish class was so much more generous than in history. Still, that A+ will look great in my transcript and it got my GPA from 3.71 to 3.76

The intense heat is finally breaking and we have a breeze here after a whole week of stifling heat!


I also got the base color of my wall done and the first coat of the red border done
Just waiting for it to dry and then I will do a second coat and then I can do the boarder and the Japanese kanji. I am so excited for it to be done, so I can move on to the next project: My son's room!
