I happened to be out at the Idaho State Tax Commission site, trying to figure out where my money is, when I came across a highly useful (read: lucrative) tool. I then spent the next hour looking up everyone I know and their parents to see if I could get some kind of finders’ fee, because there’s nothing at all under my name.
Other than wasting time, I actually have been rather busy. With friends here from out of town, and attempting to get things done around the house before the B comes home, my days have been full.
Out of sheer desperation, I have joined eDiets. Since I’ve been back from France, I got into the ugly groove of eating well during the day (at work), then totally stuffing my face when I get home, most likely, in front of the computer (or while staring at the kitchen island, listlessly). I missed not having someone (my personal trainer) around to yell at me if I didn’t eat right, or suggest new things in my meal planning that may help satiate certain taste needs I have. So far (read: for the past 12 hours), it’s been working great, though I did spend a lot more at the grocery store than I normally do. The amount of food they want me to eat is insane – I should definitely not have any issues with hunger on this “dietâ€.
Also in the news, my longtime gym, 24 Hour Fitness, decided to close all of its doors in Boise last month. This was extremely sucky, as I had the cheapest membership around, and they were conveniently open whenever I wanted to go. So, I joined the Y, which, though it may not be open 24/7, is so extremely close to my house that I felt it was dumb to not get a membership there. I am also impressed with the amount of classes available that I will most likely not use at all.
UPDATE: I found some money that’s my mom’s that looks like it’s been sitting in a savings account for 30+ years. Rokken.
That's awesome! I don't think any of the states I've ever lived in are that conscientious about their taxpayers' unclaimed funds.
