Yesterday we applied for DS#2's SS # so we can file taxes. Should take about 2 weeks. I did the state taxes and we are getting some back there too. I can hardly wait to file so we can pay off the CC bills. My DH wants to spend some on a "surprise" for me because I have a "big" birthday coming up but I'll talk him out of it. I went through about half the books last night and we are getting rid of about half of those. I listed 5 on half.com today so will see where that goes. I usually use ebay but this sounds like a better deal. I want to start the 20.00 challenge but don't have ideas what to do beside my usual ebay thing. Carefully dumped my change yesterday and then go to Aldi's today and didn't have a quarter for the cart! It's a little hard to shop holding a toddler's hand and carrying groceries.
