A couple of years ago my computer was so infested with spyware and viruses that I had to wipe it and start over. I thought I had saved all my pictures but when I tried to restore them then nothing happened. I was very upset so I decided then it was time to buy a flash memory of some sort. I finally decided on a USB flash pen drive that could hold 2GB of memory. I got it for under $25 and it works great. I love that I can download my pics onto my friends/relatives computers. I don’t even have a 1GB used yet so it holds lots of pictures.

I’m just so glad it’s Friday and the weekend is almost here! I don’t have any plans, but I love having my husband home for the weekends since he works really long hours during the week. It’s even nicer since he got off much earlier today than normal. I hope you have a great weekend and be safe!

Nope not a horror story, unless you consider shaving your head one, but a story on hair. My son was begging me to shave his head so I did with a pair of clippers we have. I do have a couple of different size guards so I used a one. It was super easy to do and my hubby was impressed and asked for me to do his without a guard. He loves it and has told me it keeps him much cooler when working. He wanted to accept his fate since his hair is receding, but it really didn’t look bad.

A good pair of clippers from a box store is about $30-40. They both got their hair cut every 4 months so 4 cuts a year each. I’m still letting our son have a cut for Christmas time but most of the year it will be kept around a size 2 guard and a 1 for the summer. His cuts were $11 each so that saves me $33 a year. My husband’s cuts were $14 each, and he wants to keep his clipped all year so that saves $56 for a total of $89 per year! The clippers paid for themselves in 3 cuts. I have had these clippers for well over a year so hopefully they won’t need to be replaced for several years. I wasn’t good at actually cutting hair but this is something anyone can do.

I know I talked about the benefits of having life insurance, but I wanted to chat about what kind of insurance one should look into getting. This is my opinion but I would only get term life insurance. Many financial experts agree that whole life insurance is a waste of money. If you are looking into it for investment purposes then you are better off investing in either a Traditional IRA or Roth IRA. A term policy is extremely affordable and you can always convert it later if you want, but I am really happy with the term policies we have. I spend $35/mo for both of us and we have a rider for our son.
