Chop, Chop, Chop

The government's coming after Chris's pay...

We got notices that are going to result in about $1,800 being cut PER MONTH.  I don't know how they can do that and how his job sector is receiving the brunt of the cuts, but they are partially going into effect now and the rest are slated for April 7.  Trying to cut that much from our budget seems impossible, I started with our biggest expediture that can be cut and that's eating out.  Add cuts to cable, home phone, miscellaneous expenses and increases in income from people who owe us money and it might be doable.  Time will tell I guess.  Taxes and church giving will be decreased too since those are based on percentages.

Well, I am happy we just redid our bedroom and bought living room furniture, so hopefully the house is set for awhile.  Gonna be an interesting year, financial wise.  Thank God we paid off our home about 10 years ago -- one of the best decisions we ever made.

How am I gonna not eat out?????

This is from Phil's BBQ that recently opened close by.  The sammie was delicious... pork with cole slaw.  The sides not so much.  I have to cook more now?  Ugh!  Ally said she's rather go bankrupt than stop eating out.  HA!

Ally's anatomy class at college is kicking her bootie.  But I think she is getting a handle on it... we've had some late night study sessions... glad I'm done with school!  Chris had some anatomy flashcards from when he was interested in training, so those have come in handy.
