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 :)

7/22 Expressions
Frugal deeds for the day: I took my daughter to the airport for her trip and then stopped at the "Y" on my way home. As for frugal - today, I plan to dye my hair with the free John Frieda Foam Hair Color. I also plan to chocolate cover some bananas I froze a bit ago. I will microwave the chips with a bit of butter and may drop some nuts and sugar I had leftover from making baklava. I also plan to loot for things to go to the foreclosed home - or upcycle things. It will be helpful in two ways: reduce the clutter in this home when I put it up for sale next year and we can furnish/decorate the "new" home on the cheap :) I don't plan on leaving the house for the rest of the day. I may just curl up a bit on the couch and read. It has been a while since I have the house totally to myself (the dog is still here :) . . . I picked the last peach off our tree - it had 3. I plan to have a quick stirfry for lunch - I have a bit of leftover wheat noodles, the small yellow squash from the garden, and garlic. Maybe a cold salad since I have a cucumber that needs to be used up too.
