Of course I'd show up.

I mean, let's get real here: Free food!

I'm saving for a 14 day trip to Europe that I will be going on in July. I signed up over a year ago so that I would be able to make payments on it . . .

If anyone should be able to throw a fun bash, Ima, it would be you, and thanks for the vote of confidence.

Just think of the small town scandal -- Ima and her frugal friends whooping it up out there.

Gosh, this party could be interesting. If you wanted to be frugal, you could have us all bring a dish. That would save some money on the food. Perhaps have advertisers provide the plates, napkins and such. We could really be creative here!

Re: What are you saving for?

Re: What are you saving for?

Well, princess, what would your bring when you fly down? I have some great potatoes made with carmalized onions and chicken broth and topped with Parmesan cheese.

I love good fudge! It must be good when people request it, Princess!

[Ima saver]

Re: What are you saving for?

Fudge is my favorite food, especially if it is chocolate!! Princess, you wouldn't even have to fly, I don't think we are that far apart!! Now, fudge, that would be something to SAVE for!!

The boring stuff? -retirement, college for kiddos, next car purchase, beefing up the EF and sub EFs bit by bit, the kids' 8th grade DC trips

The fun stuff?- A Disney trip, eventually (hopefully within a few years), paying down the mortgage (roughly 8 years to go, and yes, I'm the 'nerd' who finds watching the mortgage go downward, ever downward 'fun')
The 8 year figure is conservative. Hubby works a day job and is self-employed, part time, so income can fluctuate quite a bit and time will tell
