Well, right after I posted last, my computer locked up and I had to haul it up to Prattville to a computer repair place, so I did not have it for a week. I played catch-up on trades and e-mails for about a week. Meanwhile, life went rolling along--teeball, lots of time with friends and family, free Chick-Fil-A on Monday nights, and a chance to attend a benefit dinner with Mike Huckabee and a reception beforehand where we met him in person! Lots of fun, but my rebating suffered--I sat down today to send some out and realized I had missed the postmark date on not one, but two of them!
On the bright side, I won a pair of Bolle sunglasses in a Miller sweepstakes! April was just a month where I got off track with several things--not badly, but enough that I hope May will be a better month! We didn't really spend a lot more than usual in April as it turned out, but didn't get very many rebates in at all, and that made a difference in final totals. I'll have to look at my records, but I think we're at about $350 in grocery/household spending for the year, as of the end of the month--still not bad, all things considered!

Glad you're back! Did you actually get to meet Mike Huckabee and talk to him? I'm a little envious! Here's to a great month of May!Posted 05-05-2009 at 11:02:48 PM by pinkproverbs
- Thanks so much! Yes, we really met him! He was so personable and a very funny speaker--I had no idea! I feel like I keep my head buried in preschool-land these days, and I didn't even know this banquet was happening until the day before, when I saw an advertisement for it. Then my husband called and said his brother's friend had been given tickets that he couldn't use and did we want them?!! I left messages with three nieces and a neighbor within five minutes, looking for a babysitter!
