We don't do the movies very often and yep, it is pricey. But, at this theater the early morning movies are less pricey than the evening movies. The snack prices are crazy - but who needs popcorn at 9:30 in the morning???? But, that's why IF we get anything at all - we share it. We are frugal in so many other areas, that I don't mind splurging occasionally. Mainly this was a treat/reward because last week I paid off the last of the cc debt and we are officiallly debt freeeeee! No house payment, no car payments, no cc debt! I will admit that DH wants to go back and see "Lincoln" today. That's the problem with all those previews, lol. I told him to go if he wants to - but I've got so much to do that I don't think I'll be going. Oh, and if/when I do go back to see a movie - I will definitely take some of those foam ear plugs...geeze...why do they make it so loud?
It's chillly out there today - overnight low was 42. It was 68 in the house when I got up. Not too bad. After DH and I aced the "month without grocery shopping" challenge I've decided one of our next challenges will be to go as long as we can without turning on the heat. That one shouldn't be too hard. But, the big challenge that we're going to attempt is to save half of DH's salary. In January I'm going to start slamming half of DH's take home pay into savings. We are at an age where we need to maximize our savings for our 'golden years.' I don't have much faith in Social Security or that our 401k's will ever blossom the way we'd like them to.... Money under the mattress is starting to sound better to me, lol!
Outside plans today are to get a roof on the critter shack. I think I can, I think I can
Hopefully DH will take care of the inside chores. I think he can dust with one hand, right?
Better get outside and milk - I'm sure Red is already getting restless.
on the Critter Shack!
