MAKE UP COUPON DEAL

This is the latest and maybe the best deal EVER that I have been able to do with coupons.

I purchased 20 L'OREAL $2.00 manufacturer coupons from buycoupons.org for $1.15, American dollars. Our local RiteAid has discontinued this brand, has bins of makeup marked down to, you guessed it, $2.00. I purchased 19 (one item was in the bin but not reduced so I put it back) different items, some were originally $15.25 EACH others were $17.00, for....ready....drum roll please....$3.42.

The $3.42 was for tax.

THE NEW GRAND

Our new GRAND daughter is here. She's a beautiful baby but you knew I would say it.

CHILE! CHILE! CHILE!

History was made today, did you watch?

33 miners were rescued from a tomb of living men.

The world celebrates with Chile!

We pray now that these men will live as though they have been given a second life because they have.

BUYCOUPONS.ORG

This is a website that I learned about in the coupon class from a couple of weeks ago. It's buycoupons.org.

I bought several coupons that I normally use.

Only spent $6.85 for 120 coupons. No s&h or postage for purchase over $5.

Here's what I ordered:
20 .55 off 2 Martha White muffin mix - 1.15 for all
20 .50 off 2 Fiber One chewy bars - 1.10 for all
20 .35 off Hillshire Farm deli selects lunch meat - 1.00 for all
20 2.50 off Breathe Right product - 1.15 for all
20 .75 off Sara Lee pre sliced meat - 1.15 for all
20 1.00 off 2 Kellog's Special K - 1.30 - for all

We will not eat that much lunch meat but I have a neighbor who homeschools her kids and they eat sandwiches for lunch everyday so I'm going to share with her. The website had 440+ different coupons for purchase. They arrive in a white envelope, all stacked together, and cut out!!! Ordered them on the web, shipped in 24 hours. The website even posts the expire dates so you don't order coupons that are worthless.

KISSING

The GRAND has turned into a sweet little kisser. He kisses everything from grandpa to pumpkins to grandma to the cell phone when he's talking to Momma and Dada. So sweet and loving. Sure he has to be told no, kept from doing things that may hurt him but still he's a joy to have around.

He loves to eat, play and go for walks with grandpa. We hope he always does, for as long as we are on this earth.

GRAND he is, in more ways than one!

STAR, HIS FAVORITE THING

There is a huge oversized cardboard star hanging from our bedroom ceiling fan.

There are diapers in the trash cans, inside and out, you guess which are where.

There is a sweet cuddled up little boy in our big bed.

Guess who came to dinner?

Yep, THE GRAND.

God is good and so are his parents for sharing him with us, wonderfully tired we be.

Good night.

C and B and C

C....cleaned and B....baby proofed the house and C....company coming! Guess who?

WHAT WEDNESDAY

WHAT?????????
It's beginning to look too much like Christmas in September!!
This picture was taken last month in a local craft store, yep, September and it looks like Christmas everywhere, trees up, wreathes hung, ornaments everywhere but it's still hot weather in Dixie in September.
Now that the weather is cooler and it's October, I wonder how many more stores have the halls decked with holly and a whole lot more?
Hohum.

10/05/10

Strange date to you? Nope, not to me. It's the young son's 24th birthday. Happy Birthday! I Love You, Mom

MINUS THE RECIPE

Today is Saturday, sweet time, time to post a recipe out of my 43 year collection, nope. Today we, The Hubbie and myself, met the younger son and his little girlfriend for lunch for his happy birthday. He will be 24 Tuesday, really, is that possible?

I be sitting here watching college football on TV, Alabama and Florida, with Florida getting whipped up on, all over their blue selves. The Hubbie is enjoying the game, me not so much, a sports lover I am not.

So, I'm sitting here, thinking of all the things I need to get done. Here is a short list, it's as boring as football on TV.

Clean out closets, keep only half of all of the stuff pulled out
Call the doctor on Monday to see about a whopping cough shot, new GRAND coming
Go to WM, use coupons, save money
Finish the garage, still dejunking, summer is over, temps are cooler, yeah
Start wrapping Christmas presents
Kitchen curtains, sew em up
Other sewing, easy stuff
Start fall housecleaning, yawn
Start walking, double yawn

What else? Blank.
