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 :)

3/15 Expressions
This is my birthday month and I can't believe how many freebies, discounts I have received. I don't know if it is that I signed up for more or if companies are sending out enticements/creating goodwill so that they can generate business. But so far, Maggie Moos sent me an e-mail coupon for a free kids sized cone. Jason's Deli sent me an e-mail for $5. Victoria's Secret sent me a $10 gift certificate. Other restaurants have sent me discounts via e-mail, O'Charleys, Red Lobster, Logan's Steak House, LongHorn Steakhouse to name a few. Plus ULTA gives free brow shaping at the brow bar. Oh, Sephora sent me a gift certificate for a free product as did Bath and Body Works. Very nice of them. Tonight I will skip the "Y" and continue sanding on the cabinets. Thankfully, my husband will take over this weekend and hopefully I can stain them next week and be done with them. We are still waiting to hear if our offer was accepted on a short-sale. Rental property should be rent ready tomorrow - don't let me get started about the property management. I think they have a large inventory and not enough "staff". The weather has turned chilly around here again. And this day light savings time of Springing Forward has me tired. I need a good nights rest to make up for the hour I "lost".
