Keeping it simple.

Yesterday I did my coupons for the week. It’s been a few years, but I’m getting the hang of it. I always clipped a coupon here or there, but lately, I’ve been really investing time and thought into it. Last weekend we ate a home cooked meal that cost maybe a fifth of what we would have spent going out. We still enjoyed the meal and the evening.

Friday was my father’s birthday. He’s 60 years old. I’m thankful that he’s still with us. Warts and all. Sigh. I’m working on a project for his birthday. I’m notoriously late with creative gifts (or anything I end up personally mailing – just ask anyone in my family), but I do send them. I also have a few things in mind for the holidays depending on what I find and what inspiration hits me.

    A guess a tie would be out of the question then eh?

    For gift ideas I like to give the gift of service when I’m low on cash. Baby-sitting, Food Shopping for others, Even laundry, You can also mix coarse or Epsom salt with essential oils and put them in tiny bottles and make gifts with them…Lavender, YLang Ylang, Rose…You can get real creative with this…and people love them!

    Men usually like stuff like home cooked meals, sport tickets, going bowling, playing pool, or drinking. They’re pretty much easy to please…they even like love letters.

    Neat ideas, thanks! And I got him a really nice tie for Christmas, Father’s Day (or both). Hee hee. I try to space em out. You know, give him time to forget. LOLOL.
