Royal Update: What’s Going On?

Greetings Money Saving Lords and Ladies.  I thought I’d take a few minutes to update you on what’s going on in the Queendom lately.  We’ve been busy (in a good way) and I feel like I’ve been neglecting you!

• If you haven’t heard I was able to run the entire Mini Marathon.  I consider this to be nothing short of a miracle, considering the lack of time to train and injuries.  It was an AMAZING experience.  And I can honestly say I was grinning almost the entire time.  Which I know sounds sick and weird but it was so much fun.  If you’re wondering, if at all possible I will be running again next year.  You should sign up, too!  Now, I’m starting to train for the RAIN Ride which was my original Buff on a Budget Goal.  Have you found a 5K by May?  The month is quickly passing by.  I don’t think I would have been able to do the Mini if it weren’t for all of your encouragement on Facebook.  You guys rock.

• Tomorrow AM, you can catch me again on Indy Style on WISH TV between 9-10 AM.  I’ll be chatting up with Tracy and Andi about the great things you and your kids or grandkids can do this summer without spending a dime (or only one or two).  If you don’t live in the geographical Queendom, you can watch it streamed live online.

• We’re still churning away on paying off debt.  February – April were really good months for us and the total of paid off debt has climbed over the $60K mark since April 2008.  Woohoo!

• I had a wonderful Mother’s Day with the King and the Eldest and Youngest Princesses.  Plus we got to visit with the Queen Mum, the King’s Momma, and our family.  The Eldest Princess made me several gifts.  Among my favorites?  A Daily Planner and some homemade coupons.  Does that kid know me well or what?

• I’ve finished up my speaking and Royal Coupon Classes for the Spring.  I’m already beginning to book some dates into the fall.  Contact me at thequeenoffree@gmail.com and I’ll get back to you ASAP.
