so much for breakfast however john does surprise me now and then with a homemade breakfast that i don t have to cook myself today was such a day savings 11 what it used to cost us to eat out in our former local place these days it would be more plus the cost of gasoline but we ll settle for that old amount as savings since we did buy our own breakfast makings by the way the man makes the most awesome hash browns from scratch i cooked a big pot of pinto beans this morning i d meant to make cowboy beans a recipe i found earlier last week well i couldn t find that recipe for love or nothing in the meantime my husband saw the cooked beans and exclaimed over them asking if i were making baked beans well yes you breakfast making husband i am lol i made bbq beans to be exact with cornbread

know the past five years have been harder than any i think i ve experienced in my lifetime i had different expectations of where i d be just now of what my life would look like of who i d be need i say that my expectations were apparently very far off target in fact the past five years seem to have been all about subtracting out every single element of what i thought being obtuse i didn t begin to take the hint until this year when those mountaintop experiences began i have been ready for a positive major life change for years you name it and i ve dreamed it this past year in that first experience on the mountain i laid down my dreams my plans my wants and told god i d be do whatever he wanted that was scary enough all in itself there s that old thing i hear from so many but what if

blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest getting out of debt for good this little piggy had none you ll find me hard hearted with this little piggy once upon a time i knew a family who worked at two jobs and lived in the worst possible conditions at all times they hadn t a decent stick of furniture and what they did have that might have been decent was so ill treated and so abused that it soon fell to pieces the house was poorly kept food upon their table was a strictly feast and famine sort of thing when they had grocery they ate every last bite never bothering to stretch to cover more than one meal were very casual about putting away any leftovers and were wasteful as could be the adults never instructed by example and lacked the discipline to set rules there was no stocked pantry in their home nor even a full cupboard most meals were planned daily a half hour or so before one would normally eat if meals weren t forthcoming from their own resources they went off to visit friends and hung around waiting for a meal to appear i soon learned that once fed a meal they saw no point in going home at all and hung around hopefully waiting upon the next one there was no regular bedtime and no regular meal time and no regular routine of any sort their home was seldom clean and it wasn t uncommon for mama pig to show up on a friend s doorstep complaining that the children hadn t done chores so she d left home without doing her chores or making supper to punish them she would stare blearily at you mid morning and say she d been up doing laundry until wee hours of night because it was discovered around midnight that no one had clean undies or jeans to wear the next day no one bothered to keep check of the budget they spent until the last dime was gone each pay period and then they suffered and complained and sobbed and wailed until someone took pity on them only to complain and sob and wail that they didn t like that item or this each pay period before bills were paid or groceries bought they promptly went off and offered two thirds of their cash to a local merchant in exchange for a few more pieces of battered furniture or a car that had mechanical troubles galore and needed a new battery and tires as well if an extra paycheck or windfall came their way they took off to go spend a weekend in the mountains or at the beach took the kids to horseback riding lessons bought rather than rented a band instrument or shopped for new clothes for the whole family and never set aside a dime for future needs things like school supplies were expected to magically appear at the beginning of the school year and if they had to purchase them on their own they wailed and gnashed their teeth and bought a bare minimum of each required item and groused when it was used up and had to be replaced i was well acquainted with this family my own family and i were struggling along at the time so i tried to lead by example i tried to instruct i tried to help but alas these piggies were pretty much entrenched in having none and meant to stay there last i heard they d bought their own place and in 5 years time it was falling down around their ears for lack of routine care even now some 30 years later i shake my head remembering how very foolish they were these little piggies perpetually had none and it was all their own fault they had better income far better opportunities job wise and were not lacking in intelligence these none pigs had no desire to live differently than they did they were forever waiting on a lottery win or an unknown wealthy uncle to toss them a pile of money however that wouldn t likely change their lives much because they refused to learn the basic skills of money management they absolutely refused to believe it wasn t a matter for luck alone what s more they had no respect for money things or others they were and are still much upon my mind when i feel too inclined to complain of any lack in my life and i suppose on that score i should congratulate myself that i knew them because of their example i ve been far more prone to look about and see what i might do differently which just goes to show even a bad example is still an example at july 16 2013 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels budgeting a year of savings 2013 july 8 i ve lost a day

beef it s easy to be of two minds about this little piggy was she indulgent a spendthrift or was she a wise piggy who knew that buying a premium cut of meat would be a good investment that netted many more meals than just roast if portioned wisely it s easy enough to suggest the first isn t it i ve found that while roast beef can be a pricey cut at first glance it often became more economical as the days went on seldom did it cost more than ground beef per pound but because it is bought in a greater quantity at once the price might cause you to stagger a bit continue at july 12 2013 7

share for instance i dislike organ music mightily i can t tell you why but it just grates upon my nerves i ve never been in a church or concert where an organ was played but to hear it on radio cd or in a movie i literally want to cover my ears and scream until it s over now i ve seen master musicians playing the organ and i m awed by their skill and ability in pulling stops and working pedals and striking keys on multiple rows i can honestly say that it s a very complicated instrument and a great mystery to me i truly am amazed by the coordination it takes to play but there my appreciation ends listening to the music that comes out of that instrument is about as much fun to me as listening to fingernails on chalkboard i just don t like it continue at july 09 2013 3 comments email this
