haven't had the time to deposit our state refund check into the bank!! We got our check from Gov. Arnold last week. I usually try to stop by the bank during lunch (I hate going after work because I would rather just go home) but too many meetings rolled into lunch. I also went running on Wed. In one way that is good - I have no pressing financial need. But it is also bad - I need to deposit the funds and then transfer to ING Direct until we decide what we want to do with it. Turbo Tax tells me that we will be entitled to a stimulus check of $1500. DH and I are still pondering about those funds. So far I am in favor of investing. We do have a 1991 Nissan that is still chugging along on the original engine but this automotive senior citizen will not last forever! I bought her brand new for $8k out the door. I got my money's worth. Ms. Nissan has problems passing the smog test every two years so DH thinks we should just sell and buy a used smaller car (this is his commuting car). I tentatively agree but would like to drive her until she goes to the junkyard. So maybe the $1500 can go to the future car fund. We do have other vehicles (paid for) that DH wants to keep.

Another no-spend day today as well. Had a frozen pizza at work with lemonade. When I got home, I scoured the cupboards, fridge, and freezer and made some ham and spinach omelets. That was paired with carrots and I made a copycat Wendy's Frosty (fairly low calorie) for dessert. Yum!
