We are a family of three in transition. We spent years being frugal and are now at a crossroad. We'd like to retire from our day jobs in two years or less. Our retirement goals are to provide our daughter with the best education she desires; travel; and find new careers - perhaps part-time that we really enjoy. I hope to post both "frugal" and "personal finance" information. NOTE: I am not a professional on either subject. My posts are purely entertainment :)

12/10 Expressions
Frugal Deeds for the day: at lunch today - I deposited checks and headed to JCPenney to pick-up the orders I placed on Cyber Monday. I got 2 short sleeved dress shirts for my husband for $2.14 total and 3 bath towels for $2.14 (I will be donating the towels). For dinner, we had turkey pot-pie - previously made and just popped into the oven from the freezer. I also have a pumpkin pie defrosting. Not sure what we will be doing this weekend - may volunteer for the annual luminaria event in the neighborhood. I also need to mail off a listia sale. I also signed up at a book review site - book for a review - and I ordered my first one. I will be posting a review once I finish it. Cheap entertainment :) Not so frugal today - when I went to JCPenney - I had a craving for a fancy coffee for a "pick-me-up" - ended up at Cinnabon for a drink and a small roll for just under $5 - cost more than my 2 JCP orders - but the drink and Cinnabon sure were tasty and gave me the energy I needed to complete the afternoon at work :)
