First of all, sorry for the tons of posts today. It’s been stressful trying to book last minute after cancelling Myrtle Beach and still trying to stay on a budget.

Opened my mailbox to find a check from Cash Crate in the amount of $14.65 and another $3 check from Pinecone Research. I love that these little checks are really helping my vacation fund grow! Look over on the side bar and see how fast that progress bar is cruising along. As [...]

I listed some stuff on Ebay last week and the auctions ended. I was able to rake in about $17 off of scrapbook supplies….and $250 from selling my old laptop! The touchpad doesn’t work and the CD/DVD-ROM drive is broken…so I was happy with the amount it sold for! That’s a nice bit of money [...]
