Happy New Year!


Happy New Year to everyone!

According to FranklinCovey's annual survey, the Top 10 New Year’s Resolutions or Goals made for 2008 were ranked as follows:

1. Get out of debt or save money (Amen!)

2. Lose weight (Why not...or just stay where I am!)

3. Develop a healthy habit (e.g., exercise or healthy eating) (Yes yes!)

4. Get organized (Oh yes!)

5. Develop a new skill or talent (How about learning how to juggle?;)

6. Spend more time with family and friends (Of course)

7. Other (Hmm...)

8. Work less, play more (Not sure I can agree to this one)

9. Break an unhealthy habit (e.g., smoking, alcohol, overeating) (Hmm...eating too much chocolate?)

10. Change employment (Not for me!)

The survey also found that 35% of respondents break their New Year’s resolutions by the end of January and only 23% of those surveyed don’t ever break them. Nearly 40% of those surveyed attribute breaking their resolutions to having too many other things to do, while 33% say they are not committed to the resolutions they set.

May you walk with God and have a blessed, wonderful, and prosperous 2008!

Old Navy Coupon!!

Wahoo...I don't know if I've ever been more excited about a coupon before! Lately, I've been following a lot of neat money-saving blogs to see if I could cut our grocery budget down from about $1,000 a month and I'm proud to say that I've done that this month and cut it down to $400...more than HALF! That's partially why I haven't posted blogs in a while because this definitely keeps me busy, but I guess is well worth it! I use to just clip a few coupons, head to the store, and be so excited when I'd save $15-20 in one trip. (If you're interested in knowing the money-saving blogs I follow, let me know and I'll forward them to you!) Anyways, OldNavyWeekly.com hides several coupons on there each week (usually reloads on Thursdays) and a big coupon on there is $75 off $100 purchase. I tried last week to get it and even stayed up til 2 a.m. trying, but no luck (I really enjoy the challenge:). Last night, I tried at 8 p.m. and found they reloaded...

Just Because...

Yesterday Daniel surprised me with a beautiful bouquet of red roses...just because!:) And after having stayed up late last night, this morning when I woke up, there was a pot of Starbuck's coffee made with a sweet note! And if you know how much Daniel detests coffee (he calls it poison:), then you'll understand how big of a deal this is:) Thanks hun!
