Saturday...we needed a freebie!

I petitioned my facebook friends for some free activities for the weekend. Despite still having our jobs, the recession is taking its toll on us financially. No raises, no bonuses, no overtime. Ouch. Not only that, but its very expensive to eat healthy and we are not willing to compromise on that. Therefore, we are trying to tighten the belt on our budget for a while, no more buying patterns, stock piling fabrics, or dreaming about fancy sewing machines. No more ebaying, or randomly buying clothes. No more eating out....(That's a big one!) Anyway, we decided to take Ella to the park. The one we wanted to go to was at a church and the gate was locked so we ended up in Hueytown.

Then Finally, we went to our Neighbor's house (Kevin and Holly Andrews) for a shrimp boil/pool party/ UFC fight night. The bugs nearly ate me alive!!! The food and Fellowship was great though! We put Ella to bed at 8pm as usual and carried the monitor back over to the Andrew's. UFC on the other hand is a whole nother story, its way too violent and bloody for me. After one fight I was out of there! I curled up in bed and read! O happy day!!! Jason said he came home around 11:30, I had long been asleep by then.
