GBU - August 19, 2012

Still haven't found a new graphic.....
  

The Good:
  • G-man got his "in-step" raise (2.6% increase...roughly $62 a paycheck)
  • Survived until payday!
  • Got a vintage wooden sled from Freecycle (yay holiday decor!!)
  • Got a "preview" of the kids' teachers....and it is what we wanted.
  • Humidity finally broke and the windows are open!

The Bad:
  • Stores are sneaky...sales BEFORE tax free week.
  • Tire has a gash in it, and needed to put on the spare (will now need to get a new tire!)
  • Lots of weeding to be done on the side of the house.
  • Discovered that Bossy's Santa present idea (portable basketball hoop) is way more expensive than I thought it would be!

The Ugly:
  • Yesterday was the 5th anniversary of our girls' passing.  It was a heavy day.
  • Pre-op appointment....always a rip roaring good time!  And found out I will have to be at the hospital at 5:45 AM!
  • Coveting everything for Halloween at Pier 1!!


You know the deal....what are your GBUs this week???

  1. I hear you on the surgery thing! Got my phone call for my surgery on Tuesday and I have to be there at 6am. I love the fact that it is early, but, the hospital is 2 hours away and I don't get off my shift at work until 12:30am. Yup, that day is going to suck. Not to mention, it's a 3hour surgery and it will take another hour for recovery. I think I may just have to write Aug 21 off lol.

  3. The Good: My Dad and I managed to clear out a good half of the overgrowth in my yard this morning. Temperatures have only hit 90 five days this month. That can only be good for my power bill.

    The Bad: My car is due for some pretty pricey standard maintenance.

    The Ugly: I'm in danger of becoming a hermit between the empty nest and not wanting to spend money!
