My *Things to do* List

I was surfing around the other night and I found a website by a lady named Nichole.  She has this list called Things to do by 2018.  These are things she wants to complete before she turns 40.  I thought about it and decided I probably should make a list like that, too.  Since 40 is a little closer than 2018 for me, I decided to make a five year list.  So here it is:


Things to do by July 20, 2014


  1. Learn French
  2. Learn Sign Language
  3. See at least 30 of the 50 states. (I have a bit of a head start on this, I've already seen 23)
  4. Own a new RV
  5. Lose 30 pounds
  6. perfect my muffin, cookie and brownie recipes
  7. Do some form of missionary/volunteer work in the US
  8. Volunteer at Choices for Women Resource Center
  9. Get closer to old friends
  10. Buy some land
  11. Remain debt free
I think 11 is enough considering it's only five years!  ;-)  What do you think?  Do you have your own *Things to do* List?  Is yours five years, ten years, or by your fortieth birthday?  Comment here and tell me about it!  I'd love to see your list, too..may give me some ideas!  :-)

Tightwad Tuesday #1

Welcome to the first every Tightwad Tuesday Meme!! I'm very excited about this meme. I'm always looking for ways to save money. I know this first week may be a little short since I waited so late to get the word out, but I'm sure we'll grow by leaps and bounds! So...what are your tips and tricks to be more frugal, save a little money and just be a complete tightwad? Post it to your blog, along with a link to this page, then come back here and post your link. Be sure to post a link directly to your post, not the main page of your blog. I am looking for a good logo for this meme...anyone out there a graphic designer who could create that for us?


Tightwad Tuesday Meme Begins Tomorrow!

Tightwad Tuesday is a weekly meme focusing on giving tips, tricks and advice to live more frugally.  Being a tightwad can be a wonderful thing!  ;-) To join in, simply post your tightwad tip to your blog, (or simply find one you've already posted) then post the link in our Mr. Linky.  Be sure to link directly to your blog post, not the front page of your blog so that your visitors can find your post right away.  :-)  Also, make sure you put a link to the current Tightwad Tuesday entry so your visitors can find the other tightwad tips.
