Another day--another fifty cents!

I joined a freecycle group on yahoo. If a person needs something or wants to give away something....anything....for free...they post it on that messageboard. No trading, no bartering....everything has to be free....no strings attached.
I have some bikes I would like to get rid of. Then again....I thought about maybe fixing up my old mountain bike and giving it a whirl. Saves on gas, and good exercise. It's been way too long since I've used it. And it just sits out there. Needs a new seat, since the weather has gotten to the original one. I'd even put a basket on it if I end up keeping the bike. Hey... I'm at the stage in my life where I don't care if I look like a dorky old lady riding a bike with a basket on the front....I AM a dorky old lady! Too bad the kid doesn't know how to ride a bike...we could go toodling around town together. Yes...my baby doesn't know how to ride a bike! We've tried teaching her many times. She has a tiny bike and a 20" bike and neither have been really used. Yet, she can rollerblade! Now THAT I can't do! She hasn't rollerbladed for a few years either. Guess other interests took over.
We are on spring break as of yesterday. I won't go back to work until a week from this coming Tuesday. YAY! It's been cold and windy, but will be in 50s today, then will warm up maybe Tuesday...rest of next week should be very nice...We have had such bad luck with weather on spring breaks. Rainy, cold, dreary and sometimes snowy. Gotta get the ground all dried up, so I am ready to till and then plant. Went to the store yesterday and didn't see rosebushes and strawberry plants yet. Darn it! I know it's only March 14th...but I am chompin at the bit to get started on planting....and hopefully harvesting lots of goodies.
Got a project during break. Cleaning out the front enclosed porch. Lots of junk in there. Then I will get plants and pot them and put them on the ledges all around inside the porch. I want to get rid of so many things. Lots of stuff belongs to husband and to oldest son. Some things can be stored in the attic. I dread the mini fridge, as oldest son didn't clean it out and it has food still in it...from back in AUGUST! I would have him clean it out....since we had loaned it to him temporarily. And he had used it last. But haven't seen him in over a week. May not see him for quite a long time. *sigh* He is 31 years old now, after all. Turned 31 a week ago Sunday. Boy do I feel old. Sometimes a person can be in their 30s, and still not be a responsible adult. I know what I'm talking about. I was always an independent person. I HATED to have to depend on someone else. When I started dating my future second hubby, it was very hard for me to let him do things for and take care of me! It IS good to be independent and self-sufficient though. A person never knows when something could happen. If something happened to hubby and he was laid up, or he passed away, sure I would be upset, but I would keep on keeping on. Doing for myself and for him and our kid.
As it is right now, the company he works for is laying off another 100 people the 20th of this month! And it doesn't look good where I work either. I won't know until possibly July if I still have my job come August! That doesn't give me much time to be looking elsewhere...if I do lose my job.
Still saving money though. Rat-holing it for sure. Not investing it...just saving it.
Haven't been knitting for a while now. Need to get back into it. Heck, our family reunion is not that far off! Gotta knit up some stuff for the reunion raffle!
Got all kinds of ideas and plans for things I really need to get a jump on. Just gotta wait on some outside things...weather and all.
Well....that's all for now....my boring life!
