Ryan - Okay, the Utah Jazz on are pulling wins out of their backside. Historically speaking, in the past 5 games they have came back from deficits of 18, 22, 18, 11, and 19. 4 of the 5 have been on the road against playoff teams. What does this have to do with our finances? I haven't seen any of them. I've listened some of them on the radio, but I'm relegated to reading news clips and radio post games. I miss my DirecTV and TIVO. The savings is $50-$70 a month. But it's for the best and I'll survive.
Lizzy - Relax....its just a game.(j/k..I know that comment makes you want to hit me upside the head lol:) I'm happy for the Jazz and for Ryans dedication as a big fan. We all need something to focus on rather than our boring lives. Today we spent working in the yard and cleaning the garage as well as some grocery shopping and house cleaning. I also picked up an extra shift at work this morning but didn't have to drag the kids along which was great. I am able to start catching up on that book The Hunger Games. Not sure what the big deal was about it. I am 1/3 of the way in and its not a page turner like I was expecting. Maybe because its just not my cup of tea when it comes to a good read. Oh well.
Sunday
Ryan - We had Jack's birthday party tonight and we got him a cake on Saturday. I don't know if this is a violation of our mission statement, but I didn't want to celebrate his first birthday with leftovers in the refrigerator or pantry. We did go with a $6 cake and $4 gallon of ice cream that fed everyone tonight. We did not do a dinner either, where we would normally feed family members. We asked them to eat before coming. It was tough.
Lizzy - I think we stuck to the plan just fine tonight. Like Ryan said we got the $6 cake instead of the Sams Club $17.99 one. So right there was $12 saved. As well as not having a dinner (which my mother ended up doing anyways) But we were not planning on it which would have been another $25-$30 there. So Roughly $40 saved on this Birthday as well as not buying him a new gift. Ok I admit that is a sad thought but I pulled out some old (new) package of spongy letters that we had stored that go in the tub. He loves them and doesnt know we didn't spend a dime on a new gift. Overall I had a great time with the family and just happy that Jack is well and healthy and in our lives. He is such a joy! Plus since he is walking more its fun to play with him. And since it was Sunday again no money spent.
