I am starting a new little savings log for what I am calling my Safety Net. It is part of my EF, but it will be in an immediately accessible account, so no more drama having to wait 3 days for an ING transfer to go through if I mess up.

I am starting it off with $51.81 and keeping it in the GPCU account. I think for now I will aim for $250 in this account and maybe down the line double it.

For now I will add survey money from Lightspeed as it is set up to end up in that account through paypal anyway, plus rolled coin. Other survey money will continue to go to the main EF at ING.

The Lightspeed money showed up at paypal today so I am hoping it will show up at the CU by Friday. I also have some rolled coin that I can deposit that I was going to send to ING but hadn't done yet.

I spent $15 on gas today because I didn't make it over to Costco before it closed. I still have money on my cash card for gas, like $80 or something, so this was just a careless use of time expense. I'll fill it up on Friday.

Friday is Rose's birthday. I have already bought her one present, a Zelda game, Twilight Princess. And she will be getting her ears pierced and a set of nice earrings with stainless steel posts, but that will wait until DH comes home. I don't even want to be on the same block when she gets them done. That kid can wail when something hurts. Like an air raid siren. I kid you not.

We are taking her to a place that does both ears at the same time, though. And she's the one who wants to do it. Originally we were going to make her wait until she turned 12 but she's so responsible I think that she can handle the cleaning and stuff to avoid infection, without supervision, which was my main concern about her doing it when she was younger. So 11 it is.

She's already wanting to wear make-up but that's a no-go until junior high. Clear lipgloss and pretty nail polish is it until then. Okay, that kind of went off on a tangent.
