Has your Money lasted longer than January has?

Dave agrees with me(LOL)that a Budget is a neccesity to WIN WITH MONEY!




Give him a listen.....and then start telling your money what to do.
I do.
And most times the money listens to me!
Unlike my kids.....

Almost Shorts Weather in January....Well, Except for the Deluge!

Yesterday was some wild and crazy weather here in northeast PA.
First off, it was unseasonably warm.  Ok, so I won't complain about that much!lol
#2 son had his braces put on his teeth yesterday morning, so we had to be out and about in wind-driven rain most of the day.  As we passed the bank sign on the way to the Orthodontist's office the temp. read 59 degrees...and that was at 9 in the morning!

We ran errands and went to use a free Birthday meal certificate at Red Robin for lunch and then it was off to the Oral Surgeon with #2 son.  He's getting FIVE teeth pulled(including a Wisdom Tooth)on Friday in conjunction with the braces deal, so keep us in your prayers later this week.  I'll be a mess but he'll be fine after the anesthesia and later when the vicodin pills kick in at home afterwards. 


The local streams and creeks were raging yesterday as all the snow pack melted within hours with the warm temperatures.  Add in 2 inches of rain that fell yesterday and now the Susquehanna River is over flood stage.  Roads are closed and people down by the river and nervously watching and waiting for it to crest and recede.
I hope they don't have to put up the Flood Walls on the bridges here.  We need to go back over the river Friday for the Teeth Extractions and swimming across to get there if the bridge is closed would be a tad inconvenient.lol

Here's what I found when we got home yesterday around 3:30pm.

It's my metal swing.  It was on the opposite side of the deck from where it lives.
And here is what it was attached to.....

The metal frame.
It was laying on it's side halfway down the steps to the yard also on the opposite end of the deck from where it lives.  At least daughter righted it and drug it back onto the deck so the doggies can do their business in the yard again.

Today, it's flurry-ing and the temperature is dropping quickly.  We'll be in the teens by tomorrow night.
I'm thankful that it was warmish and that 2 inches of rain was RAIN and not 2 FEET of SNOW!

It's certainly been a weird Winter so far!

Cheap Finish Dishwasher Detergent at Rite-Aid



If anyone still has any of those $2.50 off Finish Dishwashing Detergent Coupons left that expire on Sunday, 1/31.....you might want to think about using them at Rite-Aid.  Depending on what Finish is priced at there(I haven't been in to look yet myself), you can combine the $2.50 off Q with the $1/1 Q at AdPerks Finish Q AND the $1.50 SCR #94--

With $5 off after rebate($2.50+$1+$1.50), it might be worth picking some up at Rite-Aid if you can't find a better deal on Finish at some other store.  Just remember that the SCR is a limit of 1 per person/address so if you need to use multiple $2.50 Qs keep in mind that only your first purchase will qualify for the $1 rebate.   ;-)
