Hi! I'm Caitlin and I have been in the savings community for a short time. I tried different ways of budgeting and none of them quite worked until I found savings challenges! I would love for you to follow my journey.

I need a replacement for my House Fund game on Tuesdays because Dicey Decisions is almost done! Thank you ‪@Savingscreationsco‬ for the great game!

I have two savings books from ‪@KashflowBudgetz‬ . One is Supermarket Sweep and one is 90's. Which one should I do?!

Hey friendos! I made a new game that is posted on my Ko-fi. I wanted to try to make a Shut the Box, but with color! You assign a value to each color and then roll your color dot die to cross off crayons from your box. There are three different versions with different numbers of crayons. And don't forget your color math! BLUE + YELLOW = GREEN, BLUE + RED = PURPLE, and YELLOW + RED = ORANGE!

Okay friendos, I'm back!
The conference ended today and I think it really might have gotten me at least a good chance at a job I really want. Three people from the company asked about my resume and talked to me about the positions I am interested in. If I get this job I owe my first professor in the program several beers. He talked me up to all these guys to the point that they were double checking my name and asking for the conference folks to point me out.
So I woke up at 5 (not my idea) and I recorded a couple of my videos. I know I have some catching up to do. I need to trim some cash for Saveopoly for my Priority Sinking Funds 2 video and I owe you a collabs video. I think that will catch me up. So I will record those today once I have had a nice nap and some dinner and you will get the unedited full Caitlin experience as usual.
Coming up:
Thursday night: Sinking Funds 2
Maybe scheduled for midnight? Collabs (Sun-kissed Collab, Survivor, Mario, Spooky Summer Camp)
Friday noon: Long Term Sinking Funds
Friday 6pm: Christmas in July
Saturday: Secondhand Saturday (Group Plays)
Sunday noon: Short Term Sinking Funds
Sunday 6pm: Christmas in July

Two things. First, I don't know what the heck happened with the sound on my collab video, but thank you ‪@SavingWithAshleyCorella‬ for telling me! I'll make sure I test audio before my next video.

Second, I'm not going to be able to film the secondhand Saturdays today. I always wait until Saturday to film because there are a couple of group plays that I watch in order to prepare. Well I just got home from my conference and it's 8:43pm. I'm totally wiped, probably because I didn't get to sleep until 3am. I think this calls for a couple of sea salted caramels and bed time, friends. You WILL get the secondhand Saturdays video, just not on Saturday. Thank you for giving me grace.

P.S. I met a man who basically guaranteed that he could find someone to hire me based on my skill set. We will see what comes of it. I really enjoyed today's programming.

So I scheduled my Wildcard Wednesday post for today. Just set it an forget it, right? Apparently not, because it disappeared! Also, I could have messed it up, but I swear I saw it scheduled for today. So I'm sorry it is so late.

Today's theme is citrus, which is my favorite flavor. If I ever ask a bartender for a totally random mocktail they ask for a flavor profile and I saw citrus, no coconut. Usually I get a virgin mojito in the end haha, but hey I don't mind!

Please enjoy these tinys in good health! ko-fi.com/s/e396c9ce2d

Bad news, friendos. Part 1 of my priority sinking funds video stopped filming part way through and there is a rather important chunk missing. Like the whole first game.

Here's the recap.

Sorry!

I will post tomorrow's short video today to make up for it and there will be a Christmas in July video tomorrow.

My bunny is now named Hop-timus Prime according to the random comment picker.

Hey friendos! I'm at 81.4 watch hours! Can I trade some watch hours with folks to get that to 100?! I am currently funemployed and job hunting, so I can definitely run lists.

Hey friendos, let's get raw for a second. I am absolutely living life on life's terms right now and it is a full on struggle bus. And for me that sometimes means that I don't get to complete everything I want to in one day. So Wildcard Wednesday is late. I'm really sorry, friendos. It isn't going to be a pattern. That's not me. Thank you for bearing with me while I process loss and take care of Officer Finn in his final days.

I'm attaching some pictures of Finn in better times. Yes, that is his handmade quilt pillow. He has a great dane sized bed but always hangs off the edge when he sleeps.
