Thank God Friday...I miss you guys!


Man, I miss you guys!  Every day I think of something that I want to blog about, only to remember that I have no laptop.  I keep hoping the Geek Squad is going to call any second and I will be back in business!  No such luck yet!

Who knew a girl could be this anxious for a geek to call her?  ;)

I couldn't miss Thank God Friday though.  Even Hotsauce said that I couldn't miss a Friday. 

I have to tell you that so much has happened this week that just choosing a few highlights has been incredibly hard!

I will start with today, because it's freshest in my mind!  Hotsauce and I have been feeling the pinch of our house insurance for some time.  Our insurance requires us to pay a $40 membership fee (for benefits we have never used) and their price was just plain high.  I believe that our agent even told us that our quote was high when we got the policy.

So not long ago, while searching for some extra Swag Bucks, I filled out an online request for a quote on homeowners and car insurance.  The local agent called me yesterday and Hotsauce and I went over and spoke to an agent today.  Turns out that we will be saving over $700 a year on our homeowners!  And no more silly $40 fee!  I love that.  No, I lurve that.  Actually, I lurvesauce that! 

*Oh, lurve is love on steroids.  Lurvesauce is love on steroids without the facial hair and other disturbing side effects.  It's a word, you can use it in Words With Friends... go ahead, try it sometime.

Even better than that was half way through our conversation the agent looks at us and says, "You must be Dave Ramsey people!"  It was my questions about term life insurance and all of Hotsauce's request for a discount that tipped him off.  :)

He mentioned that there's a "Dave Ramsey class" coming to town soon.  Ya, as if we didn't know!  We encouraged him to come and he said he'd have to drag his wife kicking and screaming.  We didn't see anything wrong with that...

Did I mention that I've been saving up part of my blow fund?  Did I also mention that on Wednesday night I took my Hotsauce out to HUHOT's for supper?  I did!  Oh, how I've missed her!!  She didn't disappoint either!

So, this week I am very thankful for Dave's teaching on insurance and God's blessings of $740 a year savings!  And I'm also incredibly thankful not only to be able to go out (guilt-free) to HuHot Mongolian Grill, but for date night with my wonderful hubs.  He melts my heart (and listens to me vent about kids).
