We all want to save money right?

We all want to save money right? Well, I go to a favorite site and have found people just like me!! There are tons and tons of things that will save you money, challenges, recipes, just tons and tons of information. I go there several times a day if I am near a computer. I have just started a Quilt Block Swap on there with some ladies that like to sew/quilt/embroider. You can find all kinds of things that would benefit you. Debt Reduction/Management, Utilities, Auto, gardening, scrapbooking, outdoor frugal things just tons and tons of things. My favorites right now are our organizing for the holidays and the section that we are all talking about our Christmas ideas for gift giving. We are all trying to figure out what cute/sensible/afordable gift we can give to our loved one for Christmas. Thinking ahead and being prepared is what is also going to help. Lots of sites for patterns for those that sew and do crafts.

I hope you will go and check it out. I signed up about a year and a half ago. I just love it. Everyone helps everyone.

I hope you'll join me over there. I am Angielikes2cook. Here is the site:

As far as I am concerned this place will always be my favorite place to go for all things frugal!!!

Thanks for reading.

A Prayer Request for a young lady named Rachel.....

While looking at several blogs this morning I happen to find one and was looking around and started reaading. I read the story about Rachel. I wanted to post this link so that you all could read it and pray for her. As I was reading my eyes just filled with tears. I don't know this young lady or her family but I will be praying for her. Please join me in praying. I cannot imagine what they are going through. I know that God has a plan for them. Everything happens for a reason. So please, please pray for Rachel.

Thank you.

Good Morning....

Good Morning. I hope you are doing ok. Well, I'm trying to get back in the swing of blogging again. Trying.....

Isn't it a nice cool morning? I opened the door to let the dogs out and was surprised at how cool it was. They didn't stay out long that is for sure.

So, what is everyone doing today? I have to take our oldest DS to the Dr. We have Karate and Church later this evening. I have a Tator Tot Casserole already prepared in the frig for dinner. I'm sure DH will probably want something else instead but......I'm not sure he'll get it. HA! I wanted to fix that ahead because I knew that it was a busy day today. I also have to take snacks for the kids at church tonight. They start their Patch the Pirate Program tonight and are excited about that! I have to get some snacks fixed up for them. I sure hope I don't forget!!

Last night I made us Chicken Biscuits for dinner. They were simple but good. I also made some spaghetti so that the kids could take it for lunch today and there was some leftover for MG and her Mamaw for lunch. I made the two Tator Tot Casseroles and put one in the frig for tonight and one in the freezer for a later time. Trying to make more when I cook for later. That usually helps. Like there were 2 chicken biscuits left in the frig this morning that DH didn't eat for breakfast so I grabbed them!! HA! If you snooze in my house you loose!!

Well, got to get some things done....

Good Morning.....

Good Morning. Beginning my day. Boy is it chilly out today! The kids are off to school in long sleeves and jackets. I can't believe it has gotten this cool already! Time for the air conditioning to take a breather!! YEAH! DH will still want it on though! BRRRR!! Will have to take a heater to work w/me! HA!!

Well, I'm off to work. Will hopefully check back in later on. Have a good day!

Need to figure out what is for dinner. Tomorrow I'll put a Boston Butt on before I leave for work so we can have some shredded sandwiches. Those are always good. I cook the meat in Dale's Seasoning. That stuff is Awesome!! If you haven't tried it you need to get a bottle. You can cook any kind of meat with it and it's awesome! I add it to the meatloaf when I'm mixing it up or to Pork Chops, Chicken....just anything!

Gotta run.

More Big News!

After blogging about my new job I feel funny blogging about it again BUT I got offered another job!!! I know if anyone that knows about English they know that I just made a really big run on sentence. So, forgive me for the long sentence. :0) Anyway, I got a phone call on Monday evening about the job that I have been waiting 3 months for. The job that I have been wanting and praying about was mine to start the very next day (I had the day off from my other job). So, for 19 days I have 2 jobs. I like them both actually so it's not so bad. My 2 bosses from the job that I am leaving keep asking me if I want to change my mind. :0) They like to torture me like that. They know that we all get along and that I like my job and don't mind doing it. I am really going to miss them. My new boss seems really nice too. He's usually not in town though so I will be dealing with him mostly from the phone.

Now to explain what my new job is....I am a Rep for CDL Training Services & Consulting, Inc. I work through the college by my office is off campus. I have my own office, love that part! I have been cleaning it out and fixing my desk.......it was such a mess!!!! What am I to do you might ask? Well, I am the person that is to be on the phone and out and about looking for new students for our school. So, if you know anyone that wants their CDL let me know! :0) I am the one that gets all of their questions answered and tries to find them a way into the school. This might be them paying cash, getting a loan that is deferred for 6 months after the classes or there are programs for people that have low income or that are layed off because of their place of employment moving or closing down.

So, as I am excited about my new job I'm still sad to leave my other job. I'll have to go and visit them sometime and pick on them. :0)

Well, just an update from here. OH, I even have sad news. I found out today that my FAVORITE store in the whole wide world is closing due to the husband getting a different job and them having to move away!! I am just so saddened by the news. I have posted the pictures of my Block of the Month blocks. Well, this is where I go to do the Block of the Month. I so wish that she wasn't but I understand that when God has a plan for you that is what you need to do. Just like in the case with the job situation. Oh and just in case you are wondering Dana is making sure that we Block of the Month people get to finish our blocks. She is making up all of the kits and will have them ready at our last meeting. How sweet is that. She's just really going to be missed I know by so many others and by me. These classes are what have really gotten me into sewing more. They have taught me little tricks here and there and I have enjoyed these classes more than Dana will ever know. :0)

Well, I'm tired and need to get some rest. Hugs to all that are reading. Don't forget....if you're reading then post me a line. I'd love to hear from you!!

Big News!!

I have big news! I got a new job!!! I am so excited because I really really like it!!! It's the easiest job I have ever had! I put in my 2 weeks notice at DQ on Sat. (which went over like a lead balloon!) I had to work on Sunday and that was my last day. My manager had taken me off of the schedule. Which was fine with me because I was already going to start my new job on Monday. So, I didn't even have a day in between the two jobs! LOL I make a $1 more an hour, get a raise in 3 months, in 6 months and get vacation after a year, full insurance - medical, vision and dental!! I couldn't turn it down. This is such an easy job and they are so layed back!! My 2 bosses are so layed back. They are so nice its just unreal that I am getting paid to work there!!! I work at the Boss Truck Shop.....never would have figured that I would have gotten a job there but I like it. :0)

Well, DH is looking at me like I've lost my mind just typing away. So, I'm going to go and get my things ready for work tomorrow. Hugs to you all!!
