Some Frugal Finds

[days_unfolding]

Had problems falling asleep last night. Hit my snooze button a few times this morning, and got up at 10:30 AM. Zara was on the bed, and Mimi was on the wicker chest.

 

I thought that it felt cold this morning. It's in the 50s. I'm tired of this yo-yo weather. It'll be back in the 80s later this week.

 

Mimi was perched on my lap while I was drinking coffee. I asked her if she wanted food, and she promptly jumped off of my lap. I gather that was a "yes".

 

The library does have a laminator. I asked my boss if I could use it if I bought the supplies for it, and he said, "Yes". It'll be cheaper than getting my own one or using Kinko's.

 

Left the lights on when I went to dinner. (The library is closed at that hour during the summer, and I usually shut them off when I go to dinner.) Way to go, Adrienne.

 

Found a free budgeting system printable that's exactly what I want. I also want to try the envelope budget system for groceries and discretionary spending. Also found a blog on frugal living that's pretty good: A Cultivated Nest. One of the articles was about disposable items that you can replace with reusable items. Both frugal and "green" too! 

 

Fried another hamburger to eat with the leftover veggie tots, and the smoke alarms went off. Sigh. Even if I press the shutoff button, they're silent for a moment and then start up again.

 

I'm tired. I'm going to do my nightly cleanup because I want to get into the habit, but no organizing for me tonight. I hope that I'll get some stuff done in the morning.
