Make a List and Check it Twice

By Mrs. Accountability on January 28th, 2009

A couple of weeks ago I mentioned my boss’s situation where she was denied when she tried to help her granddaughter with a school loan.

I thought the outcome was very interesting. My boss was ADAMANT that she had paid her Sears bill, and she claims she pays $500 each month, which is much more than the minimum. She said there was absolutely no way she could be behind … click here to continue reading Make a List and Check it Twice

Score! Walgreens $25 GC – It Pays to Look at the Ads

By Mrs. Accountability on January 26th, 2009

I know for most of you I’m preaching to the choir, but recently I had the opportunity to reinforce this concept to my youngest son, AJ, when he needed to buy batteries for his digital voice recorder. We were on our way to bible study and he’d forgotten to bring some from home, so we stopped at a Walgreens on the way. As we passed through the doors, I grabbed … click here to continue reading Score! Walgreens $25 GC – It Pays to Look at the Ads

What I Found In My Bathroom Last Night

By Mrs. Accountability on January 23rd, 2009

I got my tomato and eggplant seeds planted on Sunday the 18th. Every day I checked the little containers to make sure they remained most, and kept the lights on 24 hours a day. It’s been so warm outside and therefore warm in the house – in the 80s. When I got home late in the evening I removed the plastic covering to find nearly all the babies … click here to continue reading What I Found In My Bathroom Last Night

Our Trash Company Clearly Wants Out of the Business

By Mrs. Accountability on January 23rd, 2009

I blogged about our trash dilemma and promised an update.

Mr. A looked into the other company and we were thinking about switching. The only thing that made us uncomfortable is the competitor empties the 90 gallon cans by hand. With our current company, we don’t have to bag every single thing that goes in, but we would with the new company. So we debated a while, and finally I asked … click here to continue reading Our Trash Company Clearly Wants Out of the Business

My Indoor Seed Cage

By Mrs. Accountability on January 22nd, 2009

Today I am going to share a video with you – I wanted to show you my seed cage that’s in my master bathroom that Mr. A built for me a couple of years ago. Since we have such a short growing season in the Arizona desert for tomatoes, I have to get them started in January so they will be big enough to put out by February 15th. I … click here to continue reading My Indoor Seed Cage

$20K Line of Credit, Use It or Lose It?

By Mrs. Accountability on January 21st, 2009

I need some more advice this morning, if you’ve got the time to offer your two cents.

Mr. A’s business checking account came with a $20,000 line of credit. We have only used it a couple of times, to move money over when we hadn’t been paid by a customer in a timely manner, and last month when we bought the used Chevy truck for $2000, we drew $1000 out … click here to continue reading $20K Line of Credit, Use It or Lose It?

The Phone That Won’t Work

By Mrs. Accountability on January 20th, 2009

Currently Mr. A’s cell phone is his business line. We have advertising in the Yellow Book and Yellow Pages, on his websites, business cards, Craigslist, four newspapers, all using the one phone number.

But Mr. A’s phone is over two years old now, and we think it’s not getting good reception as he seems to be missing a lot of calls. One of my previous cell phones was doing … click here to continue reading The Phone That Won’t Work

January 2009 Gardening Update

By Mrs. Accountability on January 19th, 2009

Hello to all my readers who are gardening fans!!

Mr. A kept the garden watered while I was sick, and on Saturday I made the trek out to see what was going on. Lung infections sure do sap your strength and energy. Just walking the 70′ out to my garden from the front door wiped me out for a while. Thankfully I have a couple of sitting areas in … click here to continue reading January 2009 Gardening Update
