Well Sunday we were able to go another day without spending anything - day #8 in 2007!! Yeppy!

Also went to see the in laws over the weekend, so I turned down our heat to 63 and turned off water heater to save some more money.

Does anyone else have any other money saving tips on what they do when they go on vacation?

The mother-in-law (CPA) finished our taxes this weekend and it turns out we are getting $3144 back this year, which is going to go exclusively towards finishing out our basement.

This week I have goals of 1) buying some waterproof sealant for our basement walls, 2) talk to co-worker about refinishing a dresser, 3) layout more details on basement finishing, 4) run 16 miles on Saturday, and 5) get a babysitter for Friday night so wife and I can go on date.
