Day 90: Gutter Balls!
Ninety days! Wow, who’d a’ thunk it — that I would have the stick-to-it-iveness to bore you all with every minute detail of my daily $$ expenditures for three whole months?
As usual, I’ll list the money I spent today but then I’ll also list the household bills that The Husband himself took care of throughout [...]
Day 84: Printer Ink and More Cement
The temperature has dropped here from the balmy low 70’s on Monday to below freezing. I love the winter but I hate being cold (if that makes any sense at all). Anyway, the point is that I didn’t want to leave the house today. Such is the life of a mother and homeowner. I actually [...]
Day 80: The Claritin Saga Continues plus 1/2-Ton of Cement
Kroger — $89.20
The Clarinex saga continues. To recap: we switched insurance carriers on Oct. 1 but due to a paperwork snafu, we didn’t receive our insurance cards until about the near the end of the month. I refused to pay out of pocket for Clarinex so I went without for the month of October. When my [...]

Day 13
Pioneer Sand — $12.79
Some sample rocks for my landscaping project(s). I got some Colorado Rose riprap to consider for my retaining wall but I think that the Mountain Granite will look better with the existing decorative rock and the house’s brick face. I also picked up a few pieces of 4″ Colorado Red Strip Stone [...]
Day 6
Home Depot — $35.92
Light bulbs for track lighting: 2) par20; 1) par30; 1) double-pin bulb. Boy these things are expensive. Combine the price of these bulbs with the energy bill… it’s incentive to start harping on the kids again to get them to turn off lights they aren’t using.
Ace Hardware — $24.17
Two different solutions to [...]
Day 2
Home Depot — $31.83

handyman — $80.00
payment to my friend who ran the copper pipe waterline for the new fridge — he ran it up through the floor from the basement [...]
