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 :)

3/6 Expressions
Here's a great freebie (to try the Cheese Fondue for 2 at The Melting Pot) and I hope you can get in on it too: http://www.411iscoming.com/locations.php I made a reservation for my daughter and myself to eat a free cheese fondue at The Melting Pot. My daughter has always wanted to try the place - and now we have a reason. She's had friends who have eaten there and gave it rave reviews. Only April 11-14 and limited reservations. When I called for reservations, they reservationist was very pleasant. I also booked a couple of days at our condo for my daughter, her friend, and I to have a short vacation. My husband will be baby sitting the dog and keeping the home fires burning. I need to print out a few Restraurant.Com gift certificates. I am hoping an 80 % off code pops up soon. Yesterday I cashed in some Swagbucks for a $5 Amazon.com gift certificate. My husband removed all of the hardware on the kitchen cabinets - so, now I need to get on it and stain them. I love the new hardware - will give the kitchen a much "sleeker" look. Oh, we made a sale on Craigslist yesterday. So, I will need to go ahead and hire a handyman to fix the item I had listed on Craigslist. My Maggie Moo's e-mail for a free child's cone for my birthday expires shortly - so, my daughter and I may make a quick trip - she can have the cone since I had my first accupunture treatment yesterday - seems to be defeating the purpose if I went ahead and ate. I love the stuff - but so far, I really don't have an appetite - so, I think I can stand watching my daughter eat it. We will also stop at Victoria's Secret and each use a $10 gift card. We hope we get a free secret Angel Card with lot's of $$ on them in return. My daughter tends to spend more than the "freebie" amount - and she has her own allowance. I generally stick to the freebie - I am hoping for some luxurious bubble bath :)
