Straighten Up your Budget

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Straight Talk for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Sweetie and I spend a lot of time up the mountain all weekends of summer. I am just so happy that she comes with me without whining. LOL Well, I guess having our budget straightened out helps. You know women – they are not happy when budget is messed up. It makes them grumpy. [shhhhh, just between us wink*]

Well, since we switched to Straight Talk, I feel richer because my cell phone bill is cut in half. Sweetie is right; it’s crazy to be on a contract in this tough economy when you can get everything you need without one.

I told my friend about this switch too and he can’t believe the amount of money I save by switching to Straight Talk. He asked me what do I do with the extra money I save. Well what else would I do with it, it’s summertime? We can go camping all weekends. Wink*

If my friend like the idea of having  no contracts, no surprise bills and no credit checks, my own mother loves its great nationwide coverage and excellent reception and connectivity. Oh yes, the saying “mom knows best” is so true with my own mother. She too was convinced by my Sweetie to switch, by the way. Why”

Last Weekend

Last weekend my boy finally agreed to go camping with us. I was indeed thrilled because last year he had a huge fit and I wasn't able to make him change his mind no matter how hard I tried.

Last weekend we spent quality time at the camp. We went fishing. We went gold panning. We watched movie inside the tent. It was simply awesome.

Last weekend I was able to do what I love doing during this time of the year - gold panning. And my sweetie and my boy did a great job in making that weekend awesome, despite the fact that I didn't get a huge nugget.

Better luck next weekend.

Switching is good! My Sweetie said.

I stop watching TV now. Why watch TV anyway when all you can see is the political circus that our politicians are doing. All the bickering won’t solve any problem that we already deep in. We need some fixing with the economy.

Oh well, I already did my share. I tighten out our budget. Well, upon my Sweetie’s bickering of course. She should be a politician… she has a convincing power. LOL First she started with… "Oh Sweetest, don’t you love the idea of feeling richer and saving money?" Of course I would say yes… "Well, lets start with switching our phone to Straight Talk because I can cut our cell phone bill in half." Of course, see hit me right in the gut. That’s the password.

Why not, being under contact with a phone company is crazy if you can get everything you need without one. We surely can save a lot and we can use the extra money we could save for our… yes, “gold panning” and to buy new Hook, line and sinker. for my ice fishing this winter.

C'mon life is tough, switching phone is the easiest thing to do now. I had to admit.

It's Gold Panning Season Again

It's summertime again and I am hoping that I will be able to do gold panning with my Sweetie and my son this year. You see, they bailed out on me last year.

Sweetie took a weekend job. I was guessing she took that job to have an excuse not to go with me.

But this year, I was able to convince her to go with me without any argument. She was awesome. Now, I need to convince my son to go with us. And that will take some bribing. lol

Rain Rain Go Away

Guest post from: Bruno Smith

What in the world was I thinking moving to Seattle? When I came here a few years ago it was to live with my boyfriend of two years. Well, about three months after moving in he got kind of crazy so I decided to move out and that was the best decision I ever made. He sort of followed me for a bit and I even got a SECURITYCHOICE.COM alarm since I wasn’t sure if he might come to my house or something, but now I’m not worried at all and I hear he even has a new girlfriend. The whole thing I meant at the beginning is that I hate rain, like, hate it with a passion, so when it gets all wet outside I can’t stand it! And if you feel that way, Seattle is obviously the worst place in the country for you to move to, duh. Anyway, I’m thinking about going back to California when my lease is up but I will miss all the great friends I’ve made here!
