Frugal In Florida

I can't believe that it's 2016! Seriously? A lot of things will be going on this year: 1.  I'm starting another round of Whole30 today! Would love if Hubby would follow along but no promises there! If you want to follow along or just need some inspiration, go check out the new blog just for Whole30! 2.  We will most likely be putting the house on the market and buy something smaller.  We have a ton of equity and the property is worth a LOT ... we are going to sell, put 50% of that proceeds in to our retirement account and buy something with the other 50% ...

Happy New Year! I managed to only drink a little, eat some home made Chicago-style pizza , enjoy a few friends and be asleep by 1am! I am so proud of myself! Actually, even more so than that.

A) would have cost a lot of money to be down there with drinks and all, b) would have drank way too much and c) we did NOT need to be around a group of drunks strangers to bring in the new year. Because of this my good friend chose not to come over (??? Whats up with that???) and our other friends left here about 10:30 or so to head over there for the dropping of the ball. That was ok. So how about, is everyone else out there ready for the new year to start! I’m so freakin happy, it’s not even funny!!
