5/30 Expressions

Frugal deeds for the week:  My husband's new employer quit paying per diem two weeks ago.  We had those two weeks covered with hotel points.  We are out of points now.  So, for this week, my husband used priceline - and got a good rate.  He checked around for furnished month-to-month rentals - they are about the same price.  The realtor thinks we should hear something on the short sale shortly (pun intended) - we sure hope so.  We prefer not to rent something in the interim.  This short sale business has been frustrating.  I plan to plant some more seeds - a herb "garden" - more like a mound.
