Whats Better Than a Free Movie!

I know this has been mentioned several times by several ladies...but yesterday...it came to me how much this "WORKS FOR ME!!"

Have you see those Red Boxes where you can rent movies. They are located in Walmarts, outside Walgreens and McDonalds in our town.

You can rent DVD movies for $1.00 for one night. THIS IS A GREAT DEAL!

BUT WAIT, IT GETS BETTER!

On Mondays....Red Box gives out a code for a free rental for one night.

Now this is one free rental per ATM card....lol..

We have 5 ATM Cards in our family. I only realized this yesterday......What made me realize this you say?

My husband was sick in bed for the second day. On a Monday.....Well, court TV was not amusing him in the least. So he asked if I could go rent him some movies....We do not have cable TV by the way...only local channels by antenna.

I just went online and searched for Monday Code for Red Box and off we went. We got 5 movies for him and he was happy...He watched all of them...poor baby.

Just don't forget to return them all the next day...lol

Used to when he'd get sick, I 'd go rent several movies from the local rental and it'd cost over $10.00. I hate that.

Even if his sick day was not on a Monday....We would only pay $1.00 per movie...BIG SAVINGS!

Here is a link to get Red Box Codes!

Cleaning Frenzy at our House!!

At our house we have been cleaning out and moving everything....It is a mess right now.

We have been in our house for 17 1/2 Years. I am a pack rat. But we are trying to let go of "STUFF"!

I am finishing up homeschooling my oldest child this year and am trying to let go of so many books and software and stuff like that.

My mom died last year and she lived with us....I had been able to get rid of alot when moving her in but there was still alot here and still is in the attic....Oh the attic, I can 't go there.

We have cleaned out drawers, closets.....if it stands still and opens, it has gotten cleaned out.

Two truck loads to the dump and two truck loads to Goodwill.

We still have alot to do, but we are getting there.

I have not picks but you can visualize it I am sure.

It is just so hard to get rid of stuff......you don't use it for years, right and as soon as your let go of it.....guess what....you need it.

Oh well.

Wish me luck!

George Washington's inauguration was held in New York City on April 30, 1789.

Inauguration Day was changed to January 20, from March 4, in 1933 by the passage of the Twentieth Amendment to the US Constitution.

Bill Clinton's, January 20, 1997, inauguration was the first inauguration to be broadcast live over Internet.

George Washington gave the shortest inaugural address in history. (135 words)

In 1865, Abraham Lincoln was the first president to include African-Americans in his inaugural parade.

In 1917, Woodrow Wilson was the first president to include women in his inaugural parade.

When January 20 is on a Sunday, the president-elect usually takes the oath of office privately and then repeats the ceremony in public on Monday.
