So awesome news.. and bad news all at the same time. Since I do not have a job anymore.. Sparky has really come around to the idea of SAVING money! it has finally happened.

When I got done exercising last night he approached me with a list he had made of all the things he wanted to do to try and save on the power bill. I took the list this morning, added some of the things that I have been dying to do to cut costs but knew he wouldn't let me.. and we are going to work on those things this week. i'm very excited that he has jumped on the frugal bandwagon.. however, I am scared that he won't be on board long..

Things we are going to do

• turn water heater down
• turn fridge and freezer down
• change tv in bedroom to a small one and put on power strip
• always turn off fan downstairs
• make a black out window blanket for the front window
• figure out something to do with our front door, it drafts bad.
• make my own kitty litter
• hang ALL clothes to dry
• wash all ziploc bags
• change cell phone plan
• make my price book my new bible.

I should be updating about twice a week from now on. Maybe more if the local library has internet. It is only 2 blocks from home.. Hope to talk to you all soon!
