    I make weekly goals, not monthly ones. :)
    I have to make a new budget sometime soon, because some of the expenses went up.

    Your list of goals is admirable, Marybeth. I have been looking at the prices for the 50 pound bag of potatoes too. I would love to be able to get a real bargain on them. :)

I Quit My Job!

I have been working at a movie theater for the past 13 years. I started when my YD was still at home. I had been babysitting a friend's daughter and she had started school.

When YD started school, I transitioned from nights to days. But I still had to work weekends and holidays.  The movie theater is open 365 days a year. We have only been closed on 1 day since I started, Super Storm Sandy and that was because the state mandated it. We are open every holiday, every snow storm, everyday.
