1.  How MM was your weekend?

Really cheap because we are traveling this weekend.  I think we spent like $30 total, and most of it was stocking up on some travel things we need and wrapping paper.

2.  Any progress towards your goals?

My bonus came in on Friday!  We aren't going to spend any of it until we are back from Europe and see how those expenses shake out, but we are eyeing some furniture for our family room.  We still have our apartment furniture back there, and it's comical.  We have been in the house for 18 months, we have a living room, family room, and a finished basement, and we still do not own a couch.

 

Also, my H was also informed of his bonus, and we're hoping he gets it this week before we leave.

H and I also both advanced to the next level.

3.  What's for dinner tonight?  Probably leftovers.  We made a big curry last night to eat down some ingredients in the fridge.

Congratulations on the bonus and advancements!

Pretty good. $50 more on Christmas gifts. Only 6 more gifts left to buy and we're right on track for our $360 budget. About $82 on groceries including a ton of meat sales for later in the month meals. $17 on fuel.

2.  Any progress towards your goals?

$1087 towards student loans, current balance at $20,554

3.  What's for dinner tonight?

Meatloaf muffins! with mashed potatoes (instant) and green beans (canned). pretty simple but sooo good.

That sounds SO delicious!!  I will have to put that on my meal ideas list!

It's one of our favorites! And it's awesome because it's so much faster than regular meatloaf. This is the recipe we use: http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/diner-meat-loaf-muffins

Thanks @PurpleBookmark!

@purplebookmark Apparently the person who was running it there got sick. While she was out no one checked to see that all the families they committed to were taken care of. However, after all of us reaching out to the community and relatives all of the families have been adopted, as of about 5 minutes ago. It is amazing how the community has come together to support our clients.

That is wonderful news! What a wonderful example of holiday spirit, I'm so glad everyone came together.
