Just Blabbing

March 14th, 2008 at 12:37 pm

I have to say that I just love reading all of the posts. It's one of my favorite things to do first thing in the morning and at the end of the day.

Today is payday and it's only 7:24 AM and the bills are already paid. How exciting is that? I'm off today. It's my kickoff day for spring break (yay!) I'm planning on doing some grocery shopping and cleaning. If I grocery shop and clean today, then I can spend the rest of my break carefree, ya know? I also want to stop by the bank and have my bucket of change counted. In addition to that, I've got a number of items for sale on craigslist. I'm to make a sale tomorrow and am hoping to make a few others in the next couple of weeks. I will either use this money to take our family to the movies over the break to see "Horton Hears a Who" or put it into my EF. I'm trying to decide.

My hubby started his new job and is VERY pleased. I am so happy for him. He really deserves this position and I've always just wanted him to feel productive in his work. So far, so good Smile Usually, I have had to guess what he will take home in terms of pay since he was hourly staff, but soon, I will be able to anticipate a steady income. Sigh. Yes, yes, yes! Life just gets better and better.

I just also want to note that I went shopping for a few items yesterday at Dominick's (a Chicago big chain grocery store). One of the items I wanted to get because I wanted to make a quiche using leftover salmon. $2.79 per dozen! That was the cheapest one and that's without the 10% city salestax. Sigh. Boy, do I live in an expensive area.

    I'll have to take a look at that. In general, purchases made in Chicago have a 10% salestax.

    Yes, it's 9.25% currently. It'll be up to 10.25% by December. Fun times living in Cook County!
