FRUGALOPOLY

So...I need to save more money. I am going to try to do a little experiment. I am going to set a goal to save 13,000.00 in 18 months. Seems a little unrealistic huh. I thought so too. I have concluded that if I try to save or generate 1,000.00 per month in additional income I should be able to clear my goal. Dag...I was really looking to splurge for my birthday (5/14) and go to the spa.. I guess it's back to the drawing board. Turn that frown upside down update: I had a terrible day! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! So getting on here and seeing that I had a follower really made my day. Thanks! Frugal find: http://www.pennypinching-grandma.com/

Well since I have no followers...I guess I am going to continue talking to no one. I have been to other blogs and don't know the "SECRET." However...I am not one to give up without a fight.

It's time for a new computer because this one is definitely in the "check-out" line. Once the object of all my love has now turned into the center of all my frustration. Among other things this computer has been known to spontaneously combust, run hot, beep without reason, and even disconnect in the middle of that all important email. So you could say that I am in the market for a new computer. I have been looking at netbooks instead of notebooks. The acer aspire one has really caught my eye. I'm looking for something that is cute and compact and can get the job done. With that being said I still need all the power I can get. So the debate is on. To netbook or to notebook that is the question!

After perusing the internet I discovered an innovative "Green" construction alternative...A container home. I know I know the idea of living in something that is often seen on the highway during my morning commute to work wasn't my original idea of desirable home but these things are pretty cool! These houses are basically constructed from old shipping containers that shipyards ....*get this*... have to pay to get rid of! OOh I wan't one ...I want one ...I want one. HGTV also had a special on extreme homes in which it featured a container home as well. Check out the pics and let me know what you think. Could you see yourself living in one of these? I could .....seriously.
