Way 2 Save


I thought I would give an update on my Way2Save account at Wachovia. You can read my first blog about it here. I opened this account around the middle of April, 2008. I have $50 transferred once a month from my checking account into this account. Other than that, the only time money goes in is when I use my debit card or pay a bill online. Each time that happens $1 is transferred from my checking a/c to my
Way2Save a/c. So far....are you ready?....I have accumulated $490.74 in this account. In just 4 months and really I haven't missed the money at all. If you had asked me in April if I could save $500 in 4 months, I would have said "no way!!!". But I have. I am hoping to just leave this money alone, but it's nice to know that I can do Christmas without credit cards this year. I've got other things in line for Christmas, InboxDollars, EBates, MyPoints, VisaExtra Points all kinds of things in the works.

Luna Moth


This is what we found on our back door yesterday morning when we left for work(don't look at how dirty my door is, this is the one the dogs hang out at). Back in the spring, Luke's class read a story about a Luna Moth in school and the next week he found one sitting on the bug zapper light when we were leaving for school one morning. I got him a container to put it in and he got to take it to show his class a "real" Luna Moth. They turned it loose as soon as everyone had seen it. He was so excited. The one yesterday morning is the third one we have seen this year. I don't remember ever seeing them before. I found this interesting information this morning. I hope they come back next year.
