wow.. it's been awhile..

Where has the time gone??? I cant believe it's already December.. 12 days till Christmas!!! Luckily we are just about done shopping, we have those last few "what on earth to get them" gifts.. its so hard to shop for people who have it all or buy it all!

Anyway, nothing really new to report.. got dumped with some snow last night, well I'm going to say at least an inch or two.. does that count as a dumping? It does to me! I'm not a fan of snow.. dont get me wrong I think it's pretty.. when I dont have to go out in it!!

But I'm glad to have the snow, it makes everything pretty!

Well I better get off to making dinner, then an albies run! woo hoo

P.S. I'm really going to try to get better about this whole posting thing! promise!

Fabuless Giveaway!!!

So fabulessly frugal has a great giveaway right now on an amazing new concept.. a coupon binder bag.. check it out on thier website! I added thier button on the side! Just click and check it out!

Crazy Night

Wow, so last night right after work, I ran to Fred's for some pretty killer deals, and found a few unknown deals ( woo hoo love those)! Then jetted home to make dinner, nothing spectacular, chili cheese dogs with homemade fries, then I was off to Walmart (the dredded store from H E double hockey sticks) to get a few "neccesities" then off to Pauls for cheap popcorn, which they were out of! :( So as I was running around Doug cleaned out the pumpkins and got them all prepped to carve. So as I'm running in the door, throwing things where they go, I sit down to carve.. Doug had already started his and I still finished first, No it wasnt a race but I like that I was done before him! and these are the finished products:

this is mine

this is doug's

not the best pic's but they are off my phone!

Did a Freddy's run

And didnt do so well.. I mean I did ok really but I just dont feel as though I get the best deals when I'm there, probably because they dont double. :( But I totally spaced the free mascara.. (really, some days I swear I'm losing my mind) but did get cheese, yogurt and soup.. all at a great price that I didnt mind paying! I got a new binder also.. yea for me! Finally one that zips! Also got some random halloween candy and decor! (spluge buy..ugh) so overall I didnt do to well.. thanks to my splurges! But I havent done it in a while, and I really feel kinda guilty!!

Well, I learned a few things

So I went on my "coupon date" as my husband called it.. :) and learned quite a bit! I was glad to have the added help too because I was able to get more catalina's than I had anticipated! But failed to do a 3rd transaction to fully use all those catalinas! So unfortunately my oop wasn't the best last night but I've done worse! So I felt a little frustrated with myself, I'm not going to deny it! But all I can do is learn from this and do better next time! So when I get home from work I will take pics of my loot and tally it up!

Finally added a Profile Pic..

too bad it's an oldie.. Oh well, I'm at work.. so this is what you get! lol Now that I know its Super Easy, I will add more this weekend..

On another note, this may sound NUTS, but I have a Coupon Shopping Date! Ok so basically I just want to learn to SAVE SAVE SAVE MORE!!! So I have been talking to a girl I went to school with and we are going to shop this sunday night! So I will definetly post about my savings! woo hoo talk to ya then!

no title

well i havent been on here in about a week.. really nothing has been going on.. i've just been working my butt off to get ready for a vacation in 2 weeks.. i'm starting to get nervous, but sooo excited at the same time. so sorry for no updates lately.. hopefully i can figure out the picture thing on here so i can post vacation pics! well chow for now!

UTAH

Well I decided to be brave and venture out to Utah all by my lonesome this weekend to visit with my friend Amanda who just moved there.. After a speeding ticket and minor panic attack on the way down there, I arrived in one piece and in tears.. WHY I thought I could tackle that venture on my own is beyond me.. but I'm glad I did because now I know that I can go again in the future.. (maybe)

So needless to say I had a BLAST! It was great to meet some of her friends there and hand with her and her boys.. :) oh and she took me to Nordstrom Rack.. terrible terrible store.. not really I just wish I had more $$ to be there

But I am SO GLAD TO BE HOME.. the drive was the worst part about the trip so when I made it home in one piece.. *sigh of relief* I was elated!

New at this...

So I finally set up a blog.. all because my wonderful friend left me.. and this is a great way for us to keep in touch.. so please be patient.. it will take me awhile to get the hang of this.. :)
