After I got off work today we went Grocery shopping at Costco and Smiths. Last month I planned a meal (dinner only) for every day of the month. I think it really helped us save money buy buying only what we needed for the meals and using what we bought. It wasn’t perfect of course, but I think a plan executed at 70% is better than no plan at all!

I went for a hike this afternoon during my lunch hour. I was having some internet connectivity problems so I decided to go farther than I have been before. It was much hotter than I was used to. I hiked to a really cool waterfall I heard about. It was pretty cool. Unfortunately about halfway down I rolled my ankle so it was slow going after that. I’m glad I went though. It was good exercise and beautiful views.

He hits and screams a lot to get what he wants, or just to get attentions. Despite all that he still enjoys giving hugs. We were watching Star Wars tonight and since he finds no interest in TV he was wrestling with me and hugging me for attention all night. It was pretty...

We had the Brighton family reunion in Roosevelt over the weekend. We drove out Friday afternoon and arrived around 5:00 pm at the campground. The campground is basically a place back in the middle of some alfalfa fields that my grandma and grandpa Brighton cleared out and turned into a place where we have had the reunion for probably 12 years or more now. They put in a small bathroom, a pavilion, and a cement pad for basketball. The past 5 or 6...

Today I called Comcast ready to cancel cable. Secretly I just wanted to get a reduced bill. It worked great. After just 4 minutes on the phone I was able to save $46 per month on my cable/internet bill! It was well worth the 4 minutes.

This morning I started the process of registering Inzolo as its own business in the state of Utah. So far I have over 50 registered users. That’s not bad considering I have only used free methods to get the word out so far. It’s still in Beta mode though so none of those are paying customers.
