Good Morning My Frugal Friends
Dh has a case of lazyidess so he's taking a vacation day... so will have him underfoot today. I would like to have had him do the weed whacking today but it's going to be very hot and he can't be out in it, so it's not going to be a frugal day as we battle over running the AC all day (sigh). I normally leave it off and the windows open when he's not home. The good part about the hot day is I will be able to hang clothes outside. We had thunderstorms last night so after I finally put all the mulch down (still need more) I didn't water everything, let nature take care of it. We had our neighbors over in the evening till it got dark. Madyson caught a toad this weekend at her grampa's cabin so her Dad got her a atrium and they set up a house for it and bought it crickets which it ate most of, hungry little booger. The guy at the pet store is in college studying frogs (forget the professional term) and said they can live inside for up to 5 years if fed a proper diet. Ick! but she's thrilled.

Good going on being prepared with meals instead of caving into fast food, it's so easy to fall into that temptation. We have alot of extra bills coming up.. AAA, car tags, etc. next month and year up catch up on the end of the budget year for electric so money's going to be tight for awhile so we'll be guarding our pennies closely. I have a potential nibble on a case of my reed diffuser bottles so that's a little extra change we may have and less clutter in my cabinets. Frugal yesterday too was bringing up another box of winter fragrance oils and discovering I had Pumpkin Pie which I thought I was out of and planned to buy my next trip to the suppliers. It looks like all I'm going to need is alot of fragrance oil bottles to get everything organized and ready to pull off the shelfs to take to the store when the season starts. It should be a good month for sales, they have a washboard festival (Logan is the home of the only remaining washboard company in America) and a midnight torch canoe ride thing this month. They have a canoe rental in the same area where our store is, everyone will rent canoes and carry a torch down the river would be neat to see if we were down there at night.
