Getting Debt Free

2011-09-11T17:24:00.000-07:00

I'm getting more and more determined to get debt free. I've read about creating a "debt snowball" by paying off the lowest balances first and then using the monthly payment from the paid off account to pay off the next lowest balance. It's a sound idea but when you are living with very little discretionary income it can be very difficult.
I just read an interesting article about setting up a personal financial checklist. Since I'm really in tune with lists I think this may help me immensely. Check it out at ChristianPF.

I've been thinking about the recipes I use primarily at holidays and this one is special.

Divinity is a lot of work and sometimes a failure so I don't make it year round.

Ingredients

* 2 cups sugar
* 1/2 cup water
* 1/3 cup light corn syrup
* 2 egg whites
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1/8 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 cup diced candied cherries
* 1/4 cup diced candied pineapple
* 1 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

1. In a heavy saucepan, combine sugar, water and corn syrup; cook and stir until sugar is dissolved and mixture comes to a boil. Cook over medium heat, without stirring, until a candy thermometer reads 250 degrees F (hard-ball stage). Remove from the heat.
2. In a mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Slowly pour hot sugar mixture over egg whites, beating constantly. Add vanilla and salt. Beat until candy loses its gloss and holds its shape, about 14 minutes. Stir in fruit and nuts.
3. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto waxed paper.

I enter lots of sweepstakes mostly for practical things either I or my family can use. I found this sweep and I would really love to win because after all who can't use a gift card that is just like cash. Travel Sweepstakes Blogger is giving away a $50 AMEX card and you can enter too.

Let me know if you win and I will celebrate vicariously.

Update to Harlem Globetrotters

2011-04-23T16:48:00.000-07:00

Well, I won the tickets and took my grandson and his two boys to the event. It was so much fun although prices for concessions are totally unreasonable.

2011-03-21T09:29:00.000-07:00

I grew up being a fan of the Harlem Globetrotters. My favorite was Meadowlark Lemon. He was such a clown but boy was he good with the basketball. I never got to see them in person but now, so many years later, I have the chance. They are going to be here in Omaha on April 16 and I'd love to take my grandson and great grandson to see them.
There's a great blog Star Impulse that is giving away tickets to one performance nationwide. I'm entering because I really want to see the Globetrotters and if I can get free tickets, all the better.
Actually anyone can enter by going to the website and I'll even give you the link, but please don't try too hard. I really want those tickets for myself.
Star Impulse
I recommend visitors go to the home page and look at everything Star Impulse has to offer. I'd much prefer you look at the rest of the blog and not pay too much attention to the Globetrotters tickets, okay?

2011-03-20T10:10:00.000-07:00

I really need to spend more time working on improving this blog and less time reading everyone else's writings. But how will I ever learn what draws people to a blog unless I read the very successful ones?
I know the first thing I have to do is get this cleaned up and organized.

Super Bowl XLV is just hours away. Which team will win? My daughters are big Green Bay Packers fans and I love Troy Polamalu of the Pittsburgh Steelers so we will be happy with either team.

I decided to show some of the quilts I've made. I haven't done anything recently and looking at my pictures it makes me really want to start making quilts again. I have several I've started and put aside and I have enough fabric to make several quilts.

Do you have a favorite quilt design? I like things fairly simple but the neon quilt I made for Tara is definitely the exception. Initially it was supposed to be for a twin bed but Diane kept calling me and saying they had moved her to a bigger bed and I had to keep adding on to make it the right size. I think it turned out pretty well.

2010-09-25T13:46:00.000-07:00

Sometimes you run across a really great giveaway. Out Of Debt Again is running one of those right now.

From a Starbucks gift card to a Microsoft Windows upgrade and lots in between I would be thrilled with any of the prizes.

I'm not doing this blogging thing well

2010-08-27T12:20:00.000-07:00

I started this blog to share my love of all kinds of crafts. I planned to post photos of the things I had made and encourage others to try their hand. Instead I've gotten caught up in the contests so many bloggers are posting. I admit I've won some pretty nice things but I think it's time I got back to the real reason I started this.
I've been reading so many posts about pride of accomplishments and I'm realizing I'm not doing what I planned. So give me a couple of days to get some photos and I'll be back with something to show everyone.
This post was inspired by The Follower Appreciation Extravaganza over at In Through The Out Door!

2010-06-12T16:57:00.000-07:00

I don't really do well at writing anything except dry boring reports. I nearly failed English comp because I tend to "report" everything instead of making it interesting.

Nevertheless, I decided to participate in Homemaker Honey's giveaway and as a result I am posting 10 random things about me.

1. I love to read, especially murder mysteries
2. I knit and crochet in my spare time
3. I've made several quilts, but only machine stitching, nothing by hand
4. I spend way too much time on the computer
5. Very few people ever realize that I really don't want to talk to them
6. I don't feel old until I realize that my great grandkids are starting middle school - WOW!
7. I just realized that I am now one of those old ladies who shouldn't be wearing shorts in public.
8. I'm a junk food junkie
9. I really want to retire but can't afford to
10. My friends think I'm very lucky at winning things - they don't realize it's my second job :)

That wasn't too hard so maybe I'll get the hang of writing something reasonably interesting eventually.

Kroger Cart Buster Savings Event Review & $25 Gift Card Giveaway

2010-02-21T12:08:00.001-08:00

I found this fascinating quote today:

I had the chance to test out an Oreck Halo Vacuum Cleaner. When I received the box I was very excited to take it out of the box and give it a try. Of course all the daycare kids were watching me as I open the big box wondering what was in it. I was really expecting a lot of pieces to put together but I was very surprised. I took it out of the box and the only thing I had to put on was the handle. It was very simple to put on. It also has two attachments and the hose that came with it. Soon as I got the vacuum together I plugged it right in and went ahead and gave it a try. I was very amazed at all the dirt that it got up. I actually saw the dirt vibrating to the vacuum. Here is a look at how the vacuum cleaned…Deborah Wellenstein, You can earn 1 extra entries each for doing any of the following (you must post a separate comment for each one that you do), Feb 2010

Have you tried any nut butters other than peanut butter? The only one I've tried is the one made with hazelnuts (I won't say the brand name because I don't like it). What a difference in taste.

My mattress is over 15 years old. I know I need a new one, but I can't afford one right now so I've tried adding a nice little foam topper.

Dirty Little Secrets

2010-01-20T07:41:00.000-08:00

I just found a new blog with a great little contest. The prize is a very interesting book called "Dirty Little Secrets". A story of a teen whose mother is a hoarder. I have a tendency to keep things that should be thrown away so I can relate to the embarrassment a child would have if the parent keeps everything and the home is overrun with junk. Take a look at Ramblings of a Teenage Bookworm

My Entry For the Kia Sorento Ultimate Road Trip Sweepstakes

2009-12-20T23:17:00.000-08:00

If I could take my family on a road trip anywhere it would be to the East Coast. It would have to be a very long trip because I would want to spend several days in every area. I'd like to start in New England. When I was a teenager my mother had a subscription to a magazine and there was a column written by Gladys Taber (I have no idea how I remember the name - it was 50 years ago). That column was so descriptive of the area in all seasons. I think she lived in either Maine or Vermont. I even thought her description of being snowed in for weeks during the winter was wonderful.
Then I would have to stop at all the historical cities, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C. and on through Virginia and into the Carolinas.
As long as we were in the general area I couldn't miss spending some time in Georgia where a noted art center bears my maiden name. I wonder if I would find any long lost relatives there.
A detour through the beautiful Smoky Mountains would get us headed back toward the midwest and home. I've had this dream for a long time. Perhaps some day I can convince my grandchildren to do all the driving and I'll get my dream road trip.

Favorite summer images

2009-07-18T13:21:00.000-07:00

I love summer. I don't like cold weather any more so I dream of the days when I was able to go to the beach. Now that I live in the midwest that isn't possible unless I vacation along the coast. One of my favorite photos was the wedding my my grandson and his lovely bride. They are such an awesome couple.
My grandson and great grandson spend a lot of time with me so shots of them together are some of my favorites.

2009-07-13T10:46:00.000-07:00

I am probably one of the very few who don't have a pair of Crocs. In fact, I have never even tried on a pair. I've been told how comfy they are, how your feet just don't get tired and how much I would love them so my goal is to get my first pair of Crocs. When I read this story on the Crocs Blog I knew I just had to get a pair.
I am planning a nice vacation this fall with lots of walking involved. My new Crocs will be a valuable part of that trip. I visualize them walking through the streets of Orlando, in the water park at Universal Resorts and trekking through the streets of DisneyWorld. I want my Crocs to have adventure. So I am entering the contest at Coffee With the Mrs to win my very own pair.

2009-05-17T11:20:00.000-07:00

I've recently been very frustrated with Google reader. I subscribe to many blogs and enter a lot of the contests. Every day I go to the reader and check for my name. So far it is been great - that is until it failed to show a nice little win from The Mom Buzz. I found it a day late when I cleaned out my old emails one by one. Erin doesn't send reminders and I don't blame her. There are far too many giveaways to keep sending emails when you don't get a response.
My frustration is with the reader. Why didn't it pick up my name when it was posted? Even now when I go back and check again it still isn't picking it up. My guess is that when the winners are listed on the original post reader isn't programmed to re-read the post.
Well, I guess I just can't take any shortcuts. I'll just have to read each and every email whether it looks like a throwaway or not.

I purchased this printer off ebay knowing that it was refurbished. It is an all-in-one but not like the great piece it replaced. Unfortunately I had totally worn the other one to the ground. It would barely turn on.
I guess when you can't afford to pay a lot you can't expect the best, but I have been sooo disappointed. It is slow, it uses ink like there is no tomorrow and when I scan to fax the copy is barely legible on the other end. Half the time I have to either email a copy of the fax or worse yet, send a copy by USPS. Well it has been said you get what you pay for.
I desperately need a new printer that will do the things I need it to do without having to double my efforts with email and postal mail.
I am entering the contest to win and if you need a new excellent printer you should enter too. Head over to http://nateandjakeandme.blogspot.com/2009/04/epson-printer-giveaway-and-review.html to win a great new printer from Epson. http://www.epson.com/america_north.html
