L2B, we pay for Mini's books as well even though she's just in HS. I've learned to get her books used off Amazon. We were paying $400-$500 in books and they weren't even all new when we went through the school bookstore. I've had great luck with sellers with super fast shipping.
Some dairy got into my diet. I'm suspecting it was the AF ham we had for dinner last night. Poor No-ey has green dipes and streaks of blood too.
And thanks for thinking of us!
This time, it just snuck up last minute. I thought she was supposed to get a book allowance from the state in the dual enrollment program, so I was wai ting for that. I checked around, but only 1 book was available from amazon. Sadly, 2 of the books were institutional specific.. The science book alone was 160.00. But, it is a brand new edition and hopefully we will be able to sell it back!
Yeah, we rented one of her English books.. sadly, the other 3 weren't rentable this semester..
oh well, it is done now. Hopefully we will sell some back and get some money back at the end of the semester!
Sun is shinning brightly and still no rain. Temp in triple digits!
Dillard's having an additional 30% off today of permanently reduced merchandise. Was hoping for a Coach Bag but alas someone came in yesterday and bought all Coach that was 30% and 50% off. I guess she was afraid someone else would get one!

interesting morning here.
and by interesting i mean,
1. internet goes out while I am in the middle of sending out an email message. lose the whole long important business message.
2. try to call comcast. the phone is out. great.
3. go to use cell - battery is dead because a member of the tribe conveniently took away my charging cord after destroying theirs (apparently telling someone every single day that they're going to destroy their cord - if they keep the phone plugged in to the wall and then pull it on to the bed - is all annoying nagging stuff, until of course the cord falls apart and then it's an aha moment).
4. find the destroyed cord and physically hold it for 30 mins to get a charge on the phone and call comcast.
5. they get me to power cycle the router, and then power cycle the modem and despite my protestations, make me RESET BOTH. i lose my whole network
6. they inform me there appears to be an outage and it'll be a few hours. great.
7. try to print a bunch of stuff sitting in the printer queue for pressing errands. figured i'll go take care of those as will other members of the clan. guess what? yeah, i lost my network so computer can't talk to printer.
8. spend 45 mins. recreate the whole network. does nothing. modem reset means it's all wiped out and sans a home internet connection i can't download the new firmware into the router, or put in all the settings. so, no printing. which means all the work that was planned for today is now on hold.
are we having fun yet? cos this gets better.
9. i'm sitting on the desk chair trying to enter the network info into the printer and i nearly fall off. huh? check why - someone here has been rocking the chair, so that the screws on the metal plate under the seat have come loose. they almost fell out in my hand. can't get under the chair in current injured state, so this will have to wait till later in the day for someone else to fix. result - desk chair out of commission.
10. go to fix the printer stuff and a careless clan member has left out a tub of this highly fragranced stuff that gives me major migraines. no idea it was there until i started to smell it and next thing you know - bam! migraine #7
11. darling pcp called in an rx for imitrex while on vacay. pharmacist calls me to say it's not going through on blue cross. um what? my insurance number has changed - they didn't send me the new card yet but canceled the old one. how fantabulous.
and it's not even 10:30 am yet. somebody please give me a barrel of vodka and a neanderthal club to knock myself out senseless.
did the earthquake just scramble everyone's minds?
Between this house being double the finished sq. ft. and getting a dishwasher we feel like we're living like royalty
I have a question about selling online and safe payment. I told you I have recently sold or am selling a car assuming all goes as planned. Now, we are meeting this guy at an airport so he can return his rental, he is paying cash and driving away in the car. All fine and dandy.
But, I have had another inquiry about the car. I think it's a scam for a couple other reasons but it still makes me ask how to do something like this safely. This guy says he will send payment via wire transfer or Paypal and have the car pick up and shipped. That isn't all that nutty because we are talking about a 40 year old collectable car and sometimes shipping one can be as cheap if not cheaper than traveling cross country to buy it and drive it.
No way would I do wire transfer because I've heard the horror stories, which I find weird because that used to be the safest way to send money. In fact, my daughter is buying a house (if the damn thing ever closes) and that is the required payment method.
But, I digress.... So, let's just say I was convinced the guy is legit and wants this vehicle shipped -- buyer arranges and pays for transport. What would be a safe method of securing payment? Shoot, even Craigslist warns you about bogus cashier's checks. We've eliminated wire transfer. Paypal... I don't think so, I think it's pretty easy to get that reversed, isn't it? So, what? What about a U.S. Post Office money order? Just curious.
Once the stove and car are gone, I have my eye on a small boat and older motor and an antique boat motor (it runs) next... to sell, not to buy. Poor DH, I followed him into the bathroom last night quizzing him on price. Hmmmm I wonder what his antique railroad crap is worth....
I am delaying my departure this morning - I so don't want to wrangle the kids all through the store, but I do need to get some things for dinner. Guess I might as well just get it over with!!
I hear ya Setsail, I'm ready for this crazy week to end (and not have a hurricane hit!)
Yea for new houses and moves, Congrats!
I tried the Dannon Oikos yogert this morning, it was soo good.
I need to find more food that I like, I've had food aversions this pregnancy. The good news is I've only gained 5 pounds.
I'm going to try a new recipe tonight- Baked Apple French toast. It sounds yummy!
I'm hoping to hit Target one more time this week, my fave store was out of the bread for the OM deal last night. I did have fun with the Nabisco deal.

We have family cable -- with one HD/digital box. We do have starz/encore simply because it was part of the last package and was cheaper with it than without (I can drop this now and save three whole dollars) We also have internet and phone.
Phone is $30 month with the other stuff. I have no problem with that. No long distance charges, all the calling options, blah blah blah. And phone wouldn't stop me from dropping it. I would go with Straight Talk for either $30 or $45/month.
Phone is $30
Internet is now $46
Cable is now $80
Problem is, we have no other internet provider other than possibly dial up and I would rather have no internet than slow internet. I could drop cable but then it would be $61 for just internet or $85 for internet and phone. And then I would have to get dish or direct tv too since my husband refuses to give up television. I could shut it off and be fine with that. Over the air with an antenna is not an option here.
Oh, after seven years they did offer me one thing. To cut the bill to $129 month for one year, with a two year contract. We have never, ever had a contract. And let me tell ya, those sale/customer retention people aren't very nice.
Tentatively it's supposed to skim the coast though we'll definitely get a lot of rain. Saturday morning should be a good time to use confusion as our cover.
It's from the Southern Living Busy Moms Weeknight favorites cookbook. Awesome cookbook, they have pics for every recipe.
Baked Apple French Toast
2 12 oz packages of frozen, cooked apples (I am using Stouffer's Harvest Apples, searched high and low and finally found them at Kroger)
1/2 16 oz loaf French bread
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
4 large eggs
1 1/3 cups milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
Garnish with whipped topping and ground cinnamon
1. Preheat oven to 350. Thaw apples in microwave at Medium/50% power for 6 minutes. Cut bread into 6 equal slices.
2. Stir together apples and brown sugar. Spoon into lightly greased 13 x 9 greased baking dish.
3. Wisk together eggs, milk, and vanilla. Place bread slices, 1 at a time, in egg mixture, and let stand 1 minute. Turn bread slice over and let stand 1 more minute. Place bread slices in a even layer on top of apple mixture.
4. Bake, uncovered, at 350 for 35 to 40 minutes or until bread centers are firm. Garnish and serve.
Reviews are really good, so I can't wait to try it!
He just called to tell me that the kid working with him went to this pond last night. A pond we have fished in the past and caught nothing but 2" long babies. It's half mile or so hike down in there. We quit fishing it. So, he called to tell me he caught nice, big bluegill - lots of them and a couple decent bass. LAST NIGHT.
I am seriously consider a trip to town for a license... I really think Heidi would like to go hiking and fishing.
TM4D,
......
Haven't even unpacked the cast iron skillet yet.
TM4D, so happy for you guys! And yay on the dishwasher!!!
.......
Marion was popuplation 20,000+ and then you had CR right on the border with a much larger population even. This is heaven. Soooo quiet and barely any cars going by in the street. Plenty of kids but not too many either. It could not be better as far as that goes.
Well....we ARE right by a quarry. And my husband failed to tell me that they "blast" at the quarry

Now here we pay $42 just for the base DSL and then we are required to have a phone line because it is a Co-Op so that is another $20....for something we likely won't use. ALTHOUGH....we did order a phone that should connect to both of our cell phones so you can make and take calls through the landline that are coming through with your cell if that makes sense. At least we will actually use what we are paying for and my cell battery tends to drain quickly anyway so this should help that problem too. My dh built an antenna that worked awesome at our old house to pick up the local digital channels but it is only picking up one here so he is going to have to do some modifying and mounting of the antenna so we can hopefully get a bit better reception. I really don't want to have to get cable but at least I think basic is only like $35. We'll see. The whole internet thing is definitely not one of the perks but I do think it's at least a bit faster than what we had before.
Nikayla, noticed you mentioned Colorado as a possibility. If ya wanna come visit and check it out, guest room is always ready!!
Miss you guys!!!

Well we ended up getting the second house that we placed an offer and on and go to closing Sept 2nd... thud... but we won't be moving til right around Christmas time. So much to do... I already started going through lots of our stuff.. need to do it early before my school starts again.. cause I am in school until Dec. 23rd. OMG!! errr lol
Nikayla-- When are you moving? Have they ever heard anything more about your renter? HUGS!!
GT-- how are the doggies doing?
GG- Hope your night ended up alot smoother than your morning!! HUGS!!
Still haven't heard anything about missing renter Steve. They did mention him in the news again a few days ago while talking about a missing woman from the area Susan Powell.
TM4D, your house sounds wonderful, glad ur getting all settled in.
GT, we have a 'buyer' for our boat that wants to pay the exact same way and use a shipping service. I don't think there is any safe way of selling like that except cash only. Which they will not do. They were relentless emailing me for awhile but finally stopped. I think I sent them 10 messages cash only that they responded to with other payment options.
Dpags, freaky yellow jacket story!! I wonder where the heck the nest is. I am sure there is more than one.
