Royal Update: All Kinds of Random Stuff

Tips like these helped us pay off $127K in debt. You can read our story in Slaying the Debt Dragon: How One Family Conquered Their Money Monster and Found an Inspired Happily Ever After.

July 3, 2009 By Cherie Lowe

So I have the entire day to blog Lords and Ladies.  I’m sitting in Paradise Bakery and Cafe pinching myself right now.  I have a cup of coffee (in a real mug), no small people pulling at my pant leg, a free Wi Fi Connection, an outlet for my laptop and a spring in my step (maybe in my heart?!).  The Queen Mum is caring wonderfully for the Princesses who sound like they’re having a fantastic time and wearing their Nana and Grandad down.  We plan on joining them in the MotherLand this evening for a family filled Fourth of July weekend.

Today I have the day to work on my blog (there is so much to be done), catch up on correspondence, run errands, doing some house and yard work (can you tell I have perhaps a skewed vision of what I’m actually going to accomplish today?).  That’s ok though.  Where to begin, where to begin . . .

Let’s start with some updates:

  • Today I’ll be adding Cellfire to the Queen of Free.  That means you can load your favorite coupons directly to your Kroger Plus card (and/or its affiliates like Ralphs, Jay C, Hilander, etc.) and save more money with greater ease.
  • I have a guest post up at Stretching a Buck today!  Go and comment and tell Lady Marcy how  much you love her for allowing me to post there.  🙂
  • Don’t forget that July 5th is the last day to sign up for Swagbucks and get 5 for free when you sign up with the Queen of Free!
  • If you’re looking for fun free things to do this weekend to celebrate the 4th of July, go here!
  • I’m going to be giving away another subscription to All You with the contest opening today.  Enter for your chance to win a subscription to either All You, Real Simple, Cooking Light, Southern Living, Health, or a number of other quality publications from Southern Living Publishing.  
  • I survived my Roller Coaster Adventure yesterday at Kings Island.  I rode The Beast, the Vortex, the Diamondback, Flight of Fear, Firehawk, the Twin Racers, the Crypt, Stunt Car Backlot, and MORE (including a stupid water ride that soaked me from head to toe for most of the day which doesn’t sound terrible but it was FREEZING yesterday for July.  UGH, the things I will do for kids.).  And I had a great time with some amazing Middle School kids who go to our church.  Double bonus.
  • And for those of you who had been following my gym madness, I got an e-mail yesterday saying that Bally had transferred my membership to another local gym and I can go there for the rest of the year without paying a dime YAYAYAYAY!  Hooray for Bally doing the right thing for their members.  They gained some street cred back in my eyes.  And did I mention they teach spinning classes there?  Hooray.
Ok, I’m off to blog free goodies and drink more coffee.  Have a Fabulous 4th everyone.  Thanks for being on the Money Saving Journey with me.
