Well, it’s spring time and the spring cleaning is done. It’s amazing how much stuff we have acquired in just the last 6 months that we don’t use anymore. Usually I am inclined to have a spring yard sale when we have this much extra stuff, but our house is not the best place for a yard sale and we may not get enough traffic to make it worthwhile.
That’s why we are thinking about taking our stuff to a swap meet. It’s cheaper than taking out an ad in the newspaper and there is a lot of foot traffic there. That means we can make even more extra money. It looks like we will doing it as a family outing.

I can’t believe that it’s May already. That means that next month is Father’s Day. I have been really busy looking for a great gift for my husband on Father’s Day. I know he really deserves something nice for everything he has done for me and our sons this year. He’s not perfect, but he’s always doing his best for me and the kids.
I thought that getting something nice for his suit would be a nice idea and I was really excited to the find a nice looking tie tack. They are very nice and I think they would be the perfect accessory for his suit. I think they are something that he would really appreciate for Father’s Day.

It’s spring time now and that means it’s time to start thinking about garage sales. Not only are garage sales a great way to get good used stuff at great prices, but it’s also a great time to unload all of those things that you thought you needed but you really could live without.
I like finding clothes at garage sales. The prices are better than at the thrift stores and sometimes the quality is much better. It helps us save a lot of money on clothes for the kids.
We will be having a garage sale this Spring ourselves. We have collected many things that we don’t use and we might as well get some cash from them.

I just heard that Intel cut the costs on their Quad Core processors. I think it just might be the time to buy a new computer. Our current main computer was bought used and my husband and I have been talking about getting a new one. Now is our chance!
I think we will need just to wait a few weeks for the new prices to filter down unless my husband decides to build our computer this time around. He built us one several years ago and it saved us some good money so maybe he will do it again.
And yes, we will be using Ubuntu Linux on it.
