ReplyDeleteMe too!
DeleteI had a FSA for years, and I really liked it. Then my employer sponsored health insurance skyrocketed and I had to switch to a HSA plan (which I still am not happy about) and I'm not allowed to have both a HSA and a FSA. I miss the FSA. I used to pay deductibles and stuff out of pocket as much as I could and then send in the receipts and use that for Christmas money, and it was really nice if I had a big medical hit to be able to not worry about the timing of it.
ReplyDeleteI like the C-9 bulbs too, and the pyramids and bubble lights are my absolute favorite. I grew up using tinsel on my tree, and still would but my cats would eat it and that would be really really bad for them. I almost lost one of them to Easter basket grass a few years ago. I'm pretty sure I have a poinsetta tablecloth around here somewhere.
No pictures of my tree. I only have my unbreakable ornaments on it this year, and the bottom 2/3 is totally bare. I love my cats, but I do have work around them sometimes.
Sounds like the spending account is worth it! I like that stuff like chiropractor and such can come out of it if need be but would prefer deductible goes first so maybe I'll finally schedule that dermatologist appt I've been putting off.
DeleteThey have edible Easter grass now...or just use Big League Chew! HA!
I think it'd be pretty cool to see a "cat friendly" tree. Proves the struggle is real, yo! ;-)
The barns; oh, the barns!! I'd live in one if I could. I'm going to send you a picture of my friend's dog who met with Santa - tell me the dog in the above article and this pooch don't look alike! It's freaky!
ReplyDeleteBusy weekend ahead but am looking forward to it. I got a lot accomplished on the Christmas front and on the home front this week, so I'm feeling energized to keep going. Hopefully will get to the firehouse with boys' cupcakes before it snows. Hubs is working tomorrow so that will give me some time to move his presents into better areas without the dogs sniffing around. LOL
