What's on your Tuesday Menu?

The reviews of Fairy Tale have been good. Totally one of my will reads!

Nice - oh it's on now girl!

I hope the meeting went well. Change can be great.

It did go well - thank you. Even though this is a huge change, I am very excited!

Good morning, everybody!

We went to Morton's last night and even though I tried very hard not to, I walked out feeling like I was exploding. I get used to my smaller serving sizes and assume that I can eat a lot, but times like last night are a reminder that we are operating in a different world portion wise.

For what its worth, Marilyn also walked out feeling like she was exploding.

Trish, can you use your pull as a panelist to get OH to print a timed agenda for the conference? It's driving me crazy not to have one and I know that I am not nearly as detail oriented as others here. I can't imagine the towel folders free styling from room to room without an agenda.

Also, does anybody know how the clothes donation works at the OH conference? Do I just bring a bunch of stuff and drop it off in a conference room. And I guess from a selfish perspective if nobody wants the clothes, do I have to truck them back to Chicago.

QOTD: I am going to stick with Series I bonds. I believe it is treasurydirect.gov.

Breakfast: Frittatta

Lunch: Chicken

Dinner: Hopefully Marilyn's leftovers from last night

Have a great day, all!

Thanks for reminding me I really want to get that bond.

Whats the deal with the Series I bonds?

Second this. Apparently need more education.

Hi Lana & Marie!

Series I bonds are US Treasury securities that pay a two part interest rate: a base rate (currently zero) and an inflation adjustment (currently 9.62 percent). Bonds purchased in the next couple of weeks will pay 9.62 percent for the first six months. Thereafter, the rate will fluctuate based on inflation.

You must hold the bonds for one year, and if you redeem within 5 years you are charged a penalty of 3 months interest.

You can purchase 10,000 of bonds per year (20,000 if married). I believe you can purchase additional bonds with your tax refund but I haven't looked at that.

I will look into those. We use to purchase bonds but then the interest rate became so dismal we gave it up. I will check into them again. Good way to save because you cant really touch them for a period of time.
