Coupon shoping

It is time again to coupon shop!!! It is a little addictive. I will admit. Today I was at walmart and saved 17% all because of using coupons.  I can't make 17% with my investments so I have to figure clipping coupons is the next best thing!! I still  have my Walgreen's shopping left to do. I have a bogo free for deodorant and they are having a buy one get one half off.  Advil and Dimeatap is also buy one get one half off. I have coupons for these items as well. To top it off if I purchase these items I can send in for the $10 rebate. I think I will only pay $5 after it is all said and done. See what I mean it is addictive....Shop till you drop!!!!

Laundry Fairy

Ever wish you had a laundry fairy? One that would come to wash, dry, fold and put it all away. I so wish I had one of those, instead I have one that seems to add laundry when I am not looking. It seems that he/she likes to sneak into the laundry room everyday and pile it high! The laundry fairy has been busy leaving me loads to do and not much time.... Happy Washing everyone!

Breakfast for Lunch

My hubby got up late this morning so instead of me making my usual dinner for lunch I decided to make breakfast for lunch. Hubby works during the dinner hour so we eat it at the lunch hour. It is our time together each day that we sit at the table and talk. I digress.... I made an omelet that had fresh mushrooms, asparagus, bacon and cheese. It was so yummy. I think I was hungry for breakfast. Oh and I added buttered toast.  The only way it would have been better is with some hash browns!!!!  I get those scattered, smothered and covered at waffle house.  Breakfast anyone???

Flowers

Look who got flowers... Hubby brought the roses home for me!!!! My favorite color to boot!!!! I arranged them in the vase and let them open up for all to enjoy. Don't forget to stop and smell them!!!

Rain...

I am sitting here listening to the rain and I think of the time we went camping. Anyone remember coming back to the campsite only to find frogs swimming in the suitcases?  The rain was so hard it knocked down the tent.  I actually saw a frog hopping across the road while driving tonight. Yet another reminder of the camping trip.  Now I only need to go swimming and get some leeches.  Feel like shopping for some flashlights? Lots to think about while listening to the rain....

Mowing in January

What's that you say Mowing in January? Yep, you heard me. I mowed the front yard and part of the back yard. It is a balmy 72 today and looking to be 76 tomorrow. We are having late spring weather and all of my flowers are responding in kind by making an appearance. Hopefully we won't have the snows like we did last year. I don't want to loose the flowers. I will say that I enjoyed being outside soaking up the sun. I even used the weed eater. The house looks spiffy from the outside.  Oh did I tell you that we are expecting almost 80 degree weather this weekend. What's up with that?  I guess it means more mowing in January....

Pagent

I am watching the Miss America Pageant!! I have my princess crown on and wish I had taken the time to put on my gown. Oh well there is always the Miss Universe pageant later this year. At least I won't be sitting in my swimsuit. Go Miss Texas and Tennessee. I love me some pageants!!! I think before I die I will have to go to the pageant in person. I even have the wave perfected. Pick Me Pick Me!!!!

Coupon Crazy

Today I was at CVS and I had a buy one get one free manufacturer's coupon. CVS had a special on the razors I like to use buy one get one half off. So I spent $3.50 and saved $10.49. What a deal!!! (as my folks would say) Used the coupons at target, walmart and Walgreen. I spent a total $93 dollars and some change but I had over $40 dollars in coupons. How's that for coupon clipping. Just found out that target and walmart have coupons on their websites that you can print and use. Walmart also accepts competitors coupons. I have found if you bring a copy of the stores coupon policy that the cashier doesn't give you any grief when checking out. Be sure to check the expiration and the restrictions to make the checking out go quicker. It also is beneficial to hand the coupons one at a time when checking out if you have a stack. That way none of them get skipped. (had it happen once) Happy couponing to all of you savers!!!

The Game

Watching the game and thinking to myself.....Holy Cow do we not want to win? I have jumped up and down yelled at the tv and held my breath. None of it seems to be working. Come on guys get it together!  I did get out my pom poms and did a little cheer. It made my own razorback alum happy. Tee Hee :-)      
Woo Pig Sooie!!!  WE WON!!!  I guess the cheer worked!!!

zoo pic

Does anyone remember the zoo pics from when we were kids. No hippo statues but this was the closest animal that we could find. Happy Zoo Days to you!!

We went to the ZOO

It is Thursday and we went to the zoo!!! The last animals that we saw were the otters and oh are they my favorite!!! So cute and furry. We fed the giraffe, looked at the tortoise, and saw an Eagle bathing in its habitat. It was a nice sunny day and all the animals were out and about. Very few people so it was like having the zoo to ourselves. How great is that!!! It was Zootastic!!!

Curling Iron

When was the last time I burned my forehead with a curling iron? You would think sometime around middle school.  Nope, apparently I have forgotten how to use a curling iron because I did that today. No big burn or anything like that but it was enough for me to say ouch.  Butterfingers....Grace you name it I didn't get it right today.  On a bright note my hair looked soooo good!! I rocked the burned forehead.

Zoo

Thursday is zoo day. We are going to go to the zoo!! The first time this year that hubby and I are going. I have been 2 times already but not with him. So in honor of the trip Wednesday night we are going to go watch the movie We Bought A Zoo.  How fun I get to go on two dates with hubby this week.  WAHOO!!!

Quiet

It is amazing how quiet the house is when there is no pitter patter of little paws. It is also quiet when sleeping no snoring either. Only on Wednesday and Thursday nights when hubby is home. I am getting more sleep.  Miss the fur ball though. Good news I can still visit and have visitation rights.
