The UPS man just rang the doorbell and delivered the Sheets-family two new pairs of Crocs – a brand/style of footwear I had previously promised to NEVER buy.

I’m wearing them right now. Don’t mock ’em till you’ve tried ’em!

Got Gas?

ing.gifSome of you may know of our family-decision to begin the steps towards Financial Peace by participating in Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University.

Step One of the program is to save $1,000 as an emergency fund.

We’ve done that twice now. :)

We’ve had to use it for two emergencies and we’re now building it back up a third time – each time it was a “life saver” because before the program, these “emergencies” would’ve gone onto a 15% interest-rate credit card. No more, Praise the Lord!

In our class we were directed to an online bank, “ING-DIRECT” to pursue a higher-interest rate yield on our Emergency Savings Fund.

It’s too good of a deal NOT to share with readers of stevansheets.com.

Chances are that your local bank is giving you a whole .5% on your crazy little savings account through them. ING, on the other hand, offers a whopping 3%! You’re reading that right! 3-percent. All you have to do is open up an account with them that directly links to your bank-account and they’ll confirm your information and you can start saving TODAY!

We’ve done this and opened our account with $250 which in turn they gave us an extra $25 into our account for opening with $250 or more. They’re also asking us to refer new members who may be interested and for every referral we give them they’ll give us another $10 in our account!

If you’re interested, at all, check them out at www.ingdirect.com; if you’re interested in opening an account with $250 or more, leave a comment and I’d love to send you a referral link to your e-mail that would in-turn, bless our family with another $10 towards our debt-free living!

vp.jpgWent with Mike & Tom to see a matinée of Vantage Point on Tuesday this week in Delafield.

I thoroughly enjoyed this film. The plot and re-plot and re-plot, even. I guessed a major portion of “what happens” pretty early on, but was not discouraged to continue to be pulled-in to the film. I love the way it was shot and how it takes us through various ‘vantage points’ quite literally.

I was a little disgusted at Dennis Quaid’s wholesome, “family-friendly” image being quickly tarnished by dropping a very weird f-bomb near the end of the movie.

Quick soap-box: Why do producers/writers/directors feel the need to insert these nasty little 4-letter-words – especially in situations where it seems awkward and rehearsed and unnatural (yes, I’m saying that for some characters those words ARE natural – you work with some of them, don’t you?)…

All in all, the movie was good. The storyline revolves around a terrorist attack in Spain and I found it interesting that all “religiosity” was removed from the film surrounding the terrorists intentions. I also enjoyed a line that exclaimed that the government has used “body doubles” since the Reagan-era. Makes me wonder…
