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 :)

10/26 Expressions
Frugal deeds for the day: I got a sample of Infusium 23 leave-in conditioner - and I sure needed it today :) The $1 coupon was nice too. The contractors are here ripping up my floor. Oh, and by the way, did I know they were painting my kitchen too? Nope - I need to pick-out paint colors. I am going with the same colors, except a tad lighter - and matte finish - because those colors are still "in" this year :) But, if I want my pantry and laundry room painted - it is another $250 - have at it. Oh, and they are going to refinish the bottom cabinets. Not the top ones - so, my husband only has to finish up half of the cabinets now. But, my water has been off all day - really an inconvenience . . . the fridge is in the dining room. Cold coffee with creamer is still tasty :) I ate leftovers in the fridge for lunch. I was really tempted to take the dog and leave for a moment. But thought the better of it. I wonder if they are working tomorrow????? I need to go back to my day job - although I have Friday off -with lots of appointments - dental for my daughter, grooming for the dog. So, my day "off" from my day job is tied up with lots of errands. I pick my husband up from the airport, so, he will be around to help a bit.
