I got a few things off my list all ready this morning. Went to the dentist (no cavities again, YEAH!), donated blood, called the chiro office, organized the tupperware cupboard, and went through my bin of purses. I only found 2 to get rid of, thought I would find more. But got those in with the rummage sale box. Also found 3 chapsticks, a nail file and .90 cents.
Should get a few more things done today, including fun items of reading, taking a nap and watching The People's Court (my guilty pleasure!).

Feeling pretty productive today.

I went to work even though many were not there due to the flooding issues. I thought of staying home to move more stuff upstairs, or going to volunteer sandbagging again, but decided I should hold onto my PTO as long as possible in case things get really bad and then I don't know how much work I would have to miss.

After work I picked up 2 sweatshirts I had taken to the tailor to get repaired. Went to the discount bread store to get bread and hot dog buns for cheap.

I FINALLY took my car in to get the radio fixed, you may remember several months ago my radio got wet and died, I bought a new radio and a friend put it in. It worked for a few months, then stopped working....friend fixed it...happened again a few weeks later...etc. And apparently it is sucking the life out of my battery cause if I don't drive it for a few days then my car is dead. So I came back from our trip to a dead car. So we took it in to get the radio fixed today and to make sure it is right and not sucking the battery anymore. Hopefully it won't cost too much.

When we were in NV I bet on a Braves game (MY TEAM!) at one of the casinos. But by the time the game was over the sports book was closed, so I had to mail in my ticket. I bet $10, and they will mail me $17.35. Once I get that back I will put $20 in savings. I also got the change and cash together from the NV trip to put into the bank.

I also payed the mortgage and mailed in another Menards Rebate for lint rollers for $20.

Now watching a movie with the hubster and then more moving and organizing out of the basement.

Well I am really happy with all I got done in the last 3 days. Only 2 things left on the list, and I did not get all my reps done for working out, but still really happy. My room is clean and sparkling, my Christmas tree and decorations are up and ready for the hoidays. I don't have to go back to the dr for the year, or the dentist for 6 months and my behind is killing me from the personal trainer.
We will be gone for 3 days for Thanksgiving and hope to not spend too much money while we are out of town.

Hope everyone has a WONDERFUL, HAPPY, SAFE AND FRUGAL Thanksgiving!

Hmmmm.....Wednesday already and have only checked off 2......well I do have flu like symptoms....so I will blame those!

Ok - only 2 days left in the week, but still feeling the need to make a list because I am feeling a little overwhelmed.
(Also on a side note, my planner is my BFF and if you don't use one you should give it a try, it has changed my life!)
1) Print out open enrollment forms for 2010 Health Insurance and enroll - DONE
2) Call Health Insurance and see if they have a deductible carryover option (we switched from DH's insurance to mine in Sept 09) DONE - No deductible credit
3) Call Health Insurance and find out what is happening with $74 reimbursement I sent in 3 weeks ago. DONE - Not getting it
4) Make photo copies of $10 rebate for UV Vodka (gift for my 21 y/o cousins BD, only $5 after rebate!) and send in rebate. DONE
5) Buy storage file for end of 2009. Every year I use a small portable file to file throughout the year and then I get a larger storage file that I can fit 3-4 years of files in and put away at end of year.
Hmm..that should do it for now....I better get crackalackin tomorrow.
