Thursday Thirteen #8

Thirteen Things about South Carolina Mom

13 Books I have love. . .

You will see that most of these titles are children's titles. I read all of these during my childhood and some of them again as an adult. I identified with the main character in many of these, which is why they are my favorites. The Bible is first because of the impact it has had on my life. The second title is loved by my oldest son Th and myself, and we have read it a few times together. The others are listed in no particular order.


1. Bible
2. Charlotte's Web by E.B. White
3. Dear Mr. Henshaw by Beverly Cleary
4. Tallahassee Higgins by Mary Downing Hahn
5. Junie B. Jones series by Barbara Park
6. Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls
7. Nancy Drew series by Carolyn Keene
8. A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle
9. Corduroy series by Don Freeman
10. My Side of the Mountain by Jean Craighead George
11. Mr. Popper's Penguins by Richard & Florence Atwater
12. Ramona Quimby series by Beverly Quimby
13. Wait till Helen Comes by Mary Downing Hahn

The Bible is amazing. I really love children's books also. I'm reading Anne of Green Gables for the first time and am so enjoying it. Blessings...

With the exception of the Bible, I did not read any of these. I never liked "childrens books" when I was a kid. I was more a Nancy Drew person, myself.

No. 8 is one of my favorites, too. She is also a wonderful poet.

Couponing

As you probably noticed, I added a new ticker to the top of my blog. I have recently started to be more diligent with my use of coupons because of the fact that we will soon need to buy a larger vehicle.  We do not currently have a car payment and would like to keep things that way, but quite honestly, we don't have the cash saved up to pay for a vehicle in full (at least not enough cash for a newer vehicle). My goal is to save $2,000 by the end of January 2012. That equates to a savings of about $250 each month. I have always used coupons if I had one, but never really made an effort to maximize my savings potential. Until now. And it's awesome!!! I wish I had started sooner because the savings available are crazy. I love the feeling I get when I save 50% or MORE on foods and items we use every week. Our grocery bill is typically $80-$100 per week or $320-$400 per month. That seems high but considering we're a family of 7, that averages out to about...

Thursday Thirteen #3

Thirteen Things about South Carolina Mom 13 jobs I have held. . . 1. Special Olympics Swim Coach Best job ever and very rewarding! 2. Preschool/Youth swim instructor My first job (I volunteered until I got hired on at the Y, then I was paid.) 3. Lifeguard This was my first paid job. 4. Crew Chief/aircraft mechanic on the KC-10 I loved it- I saw the world on this plane and pushed myself the farthest mentally and physically I ever have or ever will again. Of course I missed my family and friends, but if I had to do it all over again, I would in a heartbeat. 5. Debrief personnel I talked with aircrews after they landed about their flight/mission. I learned the logistical side of flying. 6. Tool Crib personnel I gave the mechanics tools for various jobs needed to fix the airplane. I also inventoried and ordered new tools, and that was fun. Until this job, I had no idea that tool companies have a representative drive around in a truck full of tools for people to use and try. It was during t...

{Updated Blog List}

I updated my blog list to include some blogs that I have been following for a while but weren't linked. I also removed some of the links to blogs that were no longer being updated. I may add some more to my list, time permitting. This clean-up/update has been long overdue! :)
