I bought an RCA mp3 player yesterday for my trip to GA this week. I like it but I think I may return and save a little here and there with the IPod. My player has an FM tuner and hold about 320 songs but I am unable to dock it to anything, if I am not mistaken with the IPod you can hood it up in the car and easier to navaigate. I hate the fact that I have to plug in order to delete files. We'll see

I mean who really cares that Tom Cruise and his finance are getting married...I don't there are other things to report on the news than the fact that katie has spent 2 million on a dress and that money could have been used to help build a school, feed some kids or even house people who are displaced. Peple are renting rooms close to the location where they are to married for thousands of dollars why not use the money for something else. I don't know I guess I am sick of hearing about them

I was thinking about selling my $149 boots on ebay vs returning them to the store and set a reserve price of $200. Is this ethical? maybe I will just send them back, either way I am getting rid of them. $149 on apir of boots I must be crazy

I read almost all the blogs on this site and now I notice the "My list" posts...did I miss something?

I totally forgot today was Veteran Day.... do so show my appreciation I salute you

I just got up about an hour ago, I was beat. I went to bed at 7:30 last night so I missed "Ghost Whispers" and "Close to Home" any looks like I will have a good day. I made breakfast for mom and I wash clothes and now I am finally going to pur away all my clean clothes...but the best part is today will be a no spender

I finally got a break on the electric bill. Fore the last three months by bill ranged from $162.87 to $174.05; this month it is $119.58. I hope next month is less than this month

I was just so tired today. I went to vote came home tried to get some studying in and I could not keep my eyes open, next thing I know I am a sleep

Went to go vote today and the polls were quiet...I am hoping it picks up after 5. The poll worker told me that there are 2500 registered voters in my district and only 500 showed up. I am dissappointed at the turn out. I am proud to be an American and have the capability to voice my opinion so if you are registered make ysure you vote

I am a little upset usually before I go to bed I was able to listen to D. Ramsey some time falling asleep to the tune of Dave, now for the last few days some guy name Neil ? is on. I don't agree with dave totally but listening to him is a part of my therapy. So I'll have to listen on line

I have a lab test on Thursday, that I have been studying for and now it's time foe me to take a break and read every one's blog. You know I was never one to blog but since I found this site I enjoy it, especially since there are bloggers here with the same interest as myself. I feel really comfortable speakking about my finances since most of my closet friends has no clue

I am going over all the admendments on the ballot this year since election is on Tuesday, how confusing. I had to read, then re-read and the read them again before I had a better understanding. Then there are the issues with with judge I had to research and look up different types of rulings...I have been oting since I was 18 and as I get older it seems like I am more confused, they say aas you get older we tend to be wiser but when it comes to reviewing the ballot I am a complete idiot. But I have my sample ballot filled out so I can be in and out. My co-worker is voting early but I am from the old school I just don't trust it...you're allowed to vote for two weeks leading up to an election, I'll pass

I was just checking my balance and notice I was charged $5.00 for using another atm machine other than the one at my bank. I remeber accidently clicking yes for the balance (it ask me that before I received my cash) that was $1.50 and $2.00 for taking the cash, however I accidently cancelled the first transaction, then tried again and for some reason I was charged an additional $1.50 I will never use another atm again

It is close to 10pm and not one kid showed up...I could not believe it. I was a little dissapointed because for the last few years we've been hit by hurricanes

NBC has a new series that I really like, last night it was on (normally it's on, on Tuesdays) but I fell asleep last night. I totally forgot that the time slot for the program was changed and by habit I turned the channel to NBC and what is on ? Friday Night Lights (last night episode...I am so happy

I finally filled out all my paper work for the $30 and $20 rebate on the Norton software that I purchased almost a month ago...so now what's left is to wait

I was waiting for the kids and not one as of yet...I am hoping they'll show up, I really like looking allt all the little ones

Well I hit the store to make my Holloween grab bags for a few of the kds. I am happy because I did not need to buy any candy, I always buy candy after certain holidays (it's on sell)so in all I spent $12 for the holiday.

Happy Holloween!!!!!!!! I can't wait to see the kids today

I bought the Sunday paper today and it was .54 cents, usually it's $1..25+ tax but I am glad it was on sale because there were no coupons in the paper (none that I could use)

I hate when I am unable to read all the bogs. I hguess this my clue to study

I am not sure who turned me on to mypoints but wow am I happy. I got my $10 GC for Bath & Body Works which will be a part of a X-mas gift for some one or maybe I'll treat myself. I am going to keep earning mypoints for free gifts

That d** Bush was here in FL today turning my day into a living H** after I left class today, what usually takes me less than 5 minutes to get on the highway; it took about 20 minutes and I was still unable to get on so I make a u-turn. Driving along an alternate route the police are maneuvering traffic so now I am in another traffic jam. What should have taken me 20 minutes took 1.5 hour. Now I do not mind if he comes or goes I do not care but what bothers me is the production. If they were to put him in as small care with secret service and not make this big production with 10 different cars 10 different police and 10 different agencies I am sure things would be much better..Sorry I just had to vent

I have the following coupon available for anyone who wants them (first come first serve) jusr send me a email with your address I will send them out ( I am not on a coupon train)

Clean shower $.35 expires 10/28
(2)Coloox 2 $.50 exp 10/31
(2) Jif Peanut butter $.35 exp 10/31
(2)smuckers jam, jelly etc $.35 exp 10/31
it's not much but if anyone wants them they're yours

I received this in my inbox today and thought I would share, being that the holidays are approaching:

Gift Boxes

I cover my gift boxes with single rolls of wallpaper I've
bought at thrift stores for $1 each. Some are elegant and some
are plain, but the paper is durable enough to make it through
the mail.

I was wondering if you could add a feature. When we click on the " all entries" to few all blogs, could you possibly add a feature so that we may veiw the preious or next blog with out going to the main menu again while we are viewing one in particular?

Thanks in advance

I went to the mall to get my free undies and past through Macy's I kept looking at one particular dress and then placed a skirt on hold, but I did not get them Boy did this take some discipline but I am happy I just kept asking myself "need or want" " no cc debt or cc " house or live at home the rest of my life" needless to say I will not be back tomorrow to pick up the skirt. They'll be others

Well I am heading to Victoria Secret today to get another pair of free undies before my coupon expires ( a $7.50 value) once I pick them up I am adding this amount to the challenge/cc debt

I sat around today until it was time for me to go to work and then when I got here the first 2 hours were like Grand Central Station. I forgot today was a holiday weekend and every cotton head in the building was out (lol)and then it finally died down where I could get some studying done. Wow but atleast I was able to kick back until 2pm and just relax...basically spend no money today

Today is such a beautiful day here in sunny Fl. But I am just relaxing before work I did not even go to Publix like I normally do so I saved on gas I have been in my pj's all morning, wow it feels so nice. BUt I have to head out to work later and I guess I will be studying and practing my lab assignments for Thursday . So basically I am enjoying everything around me until then
