Dear Teen Driver: I don’t care how loud the bass is thumpin. Yer still drivin ya mama’s minivan.
Round 2 of laptop maintenance. This time for a BADLY needed ram upgrade.
I feel naked without my phone. So I spent money I don’t have on stuff I don’t need to compensate.
If you MUST use your webcam to take a photo, turn your screen brightness down after you compose. BLUE GLARE BAD!!!
Molding’s done. (did you REALLY think I’d leave it THIS close to done??!!??) Only one thing left to do – shower and relaaaaax. For about …
Just smashed my finger. An entire week of hammering on that floor and on the LAST day I smash it.
Lol. Forgot about re-placing the molding. Tempted to leave it.
Done.
On the home stretch – now I hafta rip the boards down to 4″ wide.

Finishing the flooring. Didn’t need to remove the now totally stripped screws after all.
Yes, times HAVE changed. But wearing a headful of curlers to the store is still a huge fashion don’t.

Abundant Shopping (brainfried edition)

My calculator tells me that I get to spend $51,200 today. I also realized that I need to make a list of things already “purchased” so I don’t forget something – like I already did ;)

The kids are getting new clothes – $6000 between the three of them.

A new van for me would indeed be pleasant, but I want to go hybrid. Finding a hybrid vehicle that feels like “me” and has enough seating for my family + guests (You know The Teen has to have a friend come with us on trips – it helps to provide entertainment) is proving to be a quite ardurous task. Everyone has a minivan prototype in development, and I’m just not really a SUV kind of girl. But I’m stuck, given the fact that there’s no such thing as a sedan that will seat 6 or 7 comfortably. So? I’ll have to stick with what’s available and efficient.

According to FuelEconomy.gov, the most energy efficient minivan is the Mazda 5. It seats six, and after using the “Build My Mazda” menu to select options, the Mazda5 for my family has an MSRP of $24,500.

The remaining $20,700 is going to pay for a nanny/housekeeper for a year (More housekeeping than nannying).

I’m participating in The Millionaire Mommy Next Door’s abundant life spending spree
