Earth Day

1. The garage
So if you remember at all...a few weeks ago I mentioned working on the garage. It is on my TO DO list every day. Today I worked on the garage!!! I am so thrilled. I have new shelves up, the floor is swept, I threw stuff away...it is great. There is still more that I need to do but we got a ton done. Thank you dad for your help! And for Greg and his dad to watch the boys so I can have time to get stuff done.

2. The Abel Family
Yesterday evening I was able to spend time with every person in the Abel family at one time. It was fun. Not only did Jenna and Melissa came into town, I was able to meet sweet baby Max who is perfect. I wish that I was able to spend more time with everyone but glad that we were able to spend the few hours that we did!

3. Earth Day
Today is earth day. I must mention that in my blog. It is a gorgeous day out. Once I am done with this blog I am back outside working in the yard.

4. Upromise
I don't know if I have talked about Upromise on the blog or not. I am trying to pay my student loans off. It has not been going well these past few months. Anyways, I use Upromise to help me save and pay off the loan faster. It just saves a few cents at a time, but eventually they all add up. So my new thing is to buy gift cards off ebay and then use them at the store. If I use ebay, 2% of the purchase goes towards Sallie Mae. So I just did this with a Target gift card because we get our diapers from Target and it worked out great. So yeah...Upromise and Ebay make me happy.

5. Mulch
I am putting this on the list to see how long it takes to make the top 5 again. I need to put mulch down...desperately. I can't remember how much mulch cost (that is how long it has been.) So I need to start project mulch and figure out how to get mulch down in my yard. The promise of new mulch makes me very happy.
