I received a delivery from FedEx and UPS today. They literally stopped by within 5 minutes of each other. It was pretty funny! I received two more products to review, plus a book to review.
I also wrote two product reviews tonight. I am trying not to get behind on reviews and make time for other things.

More review products
Over the holidays, my pitches and package deliveries were pretty dry. I barely received any pitches from PR companies wanting me to review their products. I also did not receive any new packages.
Today, I received a total of 4 packages. One of the packages contained my casserole dish. The other three are products that I need to review. I still have a few more reviews to do. I keep a list of products that need to be reviewed and write them in the order I receive them. Today, I received the Soda Stream, lip balm, and skin care products to review.

My dish arrived!
The casserole dish that I won arrived today! It is so pretty! It is in the dishwasher right now. I will be using it tomorrow to make tuna casserole! I am so excited to finally have a casserole dish with a lid. I've been looking at getting a casserole dish set for awhile now. I am glad I don't have to spend the money to buy one.
When I was entering the giveaway, I really wanted to win! I really like the color. It matches my Disney cookie jar that is red.

Sick Monday
Kyle is sick. He had to be brought home from school early today because he threw up at school. I am not sure if it's a cold or just an upset tummy. Yesterday, he ate candy from Valentine's Day. I told him he couldn't but he whined. When he doesn't get to do what he wants, he will have a tantrum. I think his body and tummy is hurting from eating the bad candy.

Credit Score
I received a call from the bank about my secured credit card application, she reminded me that I needed an account with them and I told her that I applied for one in early December. She looked it up and informed me that my account was opened and just needed to be funded! I just wish the bank would have told me this when it was opened. The account was opened on the same day I applied!!!!
I received my credit score from the bank. According to FICO, I am just under 700. That is MUCH better than what I thought it would be, considering I should have a foreclosure on there and unpaid credit card bills and other things.
When the time is right, I hope to re-apply for a credit card, I will try for either a secured card or a regular credit card and see which one I am approved for.

Rent Due
We needed to pay rent, so I wrote the check and turned it in to the rental office. Since we didn't have enough in our main checking account, we had to go to Shannon's bank to pull out some cash to deposit into our account. By the way, our banks are across the street from each other. Anyway, after I deposited the cash into our account, I realized it wouldn't be enough to cover the rent, so we had to go back to his bank to pull out more.
That's when Shannon and I got into a disagreement over where our money is going. He knows that I was sent money from my parents for Christmas/Kyle's birthday. I bought a few things with the money, plus it's been helping to pay the bills for the last month. Shannon was confused as to where the money went because he was under the impression that we should have at least $1400 in the account. I told him that we do have utility bills, groceries to buy, etc. He wanted to see the bank account for himself to know where the money went.
We logged on when we got home and he saw that the money went to the toys we bought for Kyle at Toys R Us for Christmas, bills, HIS cell phone belt clip thing, and other things. All he seems to remember is the money going in and not the money going out... He doesn't pay the bills, I do. He said he had the same problem with his own account. He received an alert that he only had X amount of dollars left in his account and he had to check his account to see where all the money went.
