Over 4 hours of OT today at time-and-a-half. That makes over 7+ hours of OT for this week alone, and it’s only the first week of our bi-weekly pay period...!!!!!!!!!!!

Again, willing to swap grocery bills

Apparently, your definition of “swap” differs from mine...!!!!!

*File this under fun/cool stuff you miss when you drive the main roads. *
Finally drove my ol’ country back road on the way home again today too.
I think I’ve posted this before, but, this house in the neighborhood I go through, after the back road, has these hedges...I think they may have a thing for the Mad Tea Party...!!!!!

I just cannot imagine spending that much money on that kind of thing. I mean, you could buy a whole neighborhood for that. I don't know what I'd do if I had money, but I clearly wouldn't make a good rich person

I'd make a horrible rich person! I am too cheap. I LOVED the Haunted Mansion spirit jersey last year...there was only one left and it was in my size, but it was $60 and I thought that was just too much for a sweatshirt. Even a glow-in-the-dark one. I would have bought it if it had a zipper, but as a pull over, it was just too much. I doubt rich people think like that. What do they care whether it has a zipper or how much it costs?

And, incidentally, that house was designed by one of the architects at the firm I worked for in the evenings during my final months of HS. He designed it about a month before they hired me full time after HS graduation...!!!

Oh I love everything about this!!!

Does he want to do lessons now?

Probably. He gets to go 3 times, and this was only the first. After those 3 times, he will decide whether he wants to join, but I think he will. He liked it, and he does love sports.

I grew up low/mid class, and even now I still tend to be frugal... I always think to myself...if I came into money, I wouldn't just go blow it... I wouldn't buy a mansion.. I would buy a new normal house maybe... not much if any bigger than I have now because I can't keep it clean as is!

So many people win money and then just blow it all.... it boggles my mind!

I would want a bigger house because ours is small. Our house is considered a "starter house".....it's not meant to be your last house. It's meant to be someone's first home until they can afford more. So if I had money, I'd want slightly bigger bedrooms....one where I could actually fit all our furniture. We have a queen bed and it just barely fits with our night stands. And A's room is tiny tiny. There's really only one way to fit the bed, and then there's enough room for a dresser on the opposite wall and about 1.5 feet of walking space between them. And I'd like one extra room in case we had company....I think I'd like a house where the master bedroom had an en suite, so we'd have 2 bathrooms. And I'd want a kitchen in which two people could pass each other without having to suck in the gut. So....4 bedroom, 2 bath, and a kitchen with an island. That's about it. And if I had that kind of money, I might spring for someone else to come clean it once a week. That's pretty much the extent of my dreams of luxury.

Oh man, same here, I’d not make a good rich person either...although, if I was, I might buy Catfish Parlour...!!!!!

Oh yeah....I forgot about storage. This house has very little. Most houses have an attic here(no basements), but ours does not. We have three closets upstairs, one of which we converted into a laundry closet. It's just big enough for the stacked washer and dryer, with the detergent next to it. The door won't close because of the laundry basket in front of it, but it suffices. One of the other closets holds the towels and cleaning supplies, the other holds the bedding. Then there's the meter closet downstairs where we keep the vaccuum and the broom, mop, etc. Then there's one closet under the stairs that has my baking pans because those won't fit in the kitchen, and it also holds the extra stuff like mayo, peanut butter, and oil for when the one in the kitchen runs out. And one closet in the dining room that we call the "treat closet" because we keep the junk food on the one shelf there. It also has the wrapping paper and a ton of my scentsy candles and holders. That's it for storage. We bought a bed with storage underneath because we had no more room. We do have a shed, but it's packed so full that it all toppled over and we can't even get into it right now. It has all my childhood stuff like my cabbage patch dolls, and it has all our tools and Christmas decorations/tree. We should really go through it and toss a bunch and clean it up. But yeah, we need more storage. Or we just need to get rid of a bunch of crap!
