Charter, Why send the jobs over-seas?

I just spent 30 minutes on the phone trying to order NHL Center Ice.  Maybe it would've been easier if I had just said I wanted to order football on ice.

Isn't She Gorgeous!!

I went to my cousins wedding this past weekend, everything was perfect!  It's hard to tell from this pic but her dress had a lace overlay with polka dots on it...how cute.  It makes me a little depressed to think she's so grown up already, I remember when her mom was preggers with her;-)

So now you have to go to Old Navy....

I'm starting my training on Tuesday for a part-time gig.  I can ease into working again after having the summer off, get a nice discount and some extra spending money...it's a win-win situation.

Face-Lift

Though I would really like a little work myself, I have to settle with just my blog getting some help.  Thanks Amber!!!  I got the idea from your awesome site.

Sara Lee Deli $3.00 coupon!

How easy is this, become a fan of Sara Lee Deli on facebook and get a $3.00 coupon.

Free Chocolate, Hurry!!

If you sign up on this website right now https://www.realchocolate.com/, you will get a coupon for a free  Mars candy bar.  This is the last friday to take advantage of it.  I used my first coupon this week to get a free bag of M&M's, the boys had them gone in less 60 seconds....at least they were free;-)

Not Quite the Best Idea I've Had

I've been anticipating the fall weather so much that yesterday I made my homemade french onion soup to have for dinner.  Unfortunately when it was time for dinner it was still 77 degrees with 90% humidity...I don't recommend soup and grilled cheese sandwiches in that kind of weather, it kind of takes the enjoyment out of it.

Old Navy Baby!!!

While I was waiting for my interview at Old Navy today I found some great deals.  I got 6 shirts for about $34, and then I used my $20 rewards card I just got in the mail.....so I got 6 shirts for $14!!!!  Most of the short sleeved and sleeveless shirts were on sale for half off to make room for the fall stuff.

World Alzheimer's Day.....It's ok if you forgot

Every 70 seconds someone develops Alzheimer's, so make sure you do that crossword it may save you in the long-run.

Fall is here....well in one day, close enough!

Below are some cards that I made for my Grandma to sell at the Farmers Market in Lake Mills.  $1.50 each or 3 for $4.00, a lot better then $6.00 for one at the store.

And some more pumpkins I made for the craft fairs next month.

And some little girl alligator clips I made after finding some felt flowers at my local stamping store, I had to find some reason to pick some of these up.

Did you notice everything is in fall colors, obviously I've subconsciously been craving the new season.

Finally some productivity.

So today I made 3 pumpkins and 4 cards, pics to come.  Hopefully I can keep myself from slacking, even though I'm feeling a cold coming on...boo.

My Promise to You Blog!!!!

I know you have been disappointed in me this week.  My promise to you blog, is that tomorrow I will give you something interesting to display;-)  Between the fabric I got to make some Christmas trees, and all the pumpkins yet to be made and all the cute ribbon I got to make hair clips, I'll make you proud!

A Roarin' Good Time

Here are some pictures from Animal Kingdom. We went on a Safari and got to see a lot of animals up close and personal, fortunately there were no incidents that would make it onto "When Animals Attack"!

Disney Withdrawal

So it's my second day back and I'm finally feeling semi-human again.  Reality is such a harsh thing to come back to after a week of fantasy and fun, I kind of forgot that I was unemployed!

Leavin' On A Jet Plane....

Tomorrow we leave for Florida (we being my mom, sisters and nephews).  I will be back with pictures in a week!  Everyone have a wonderfully relaxing Labor Day.

Never-Ending Pasta Bowls

Thanks to Amber I got out of the house today for a nice shopping outing and dinner at my favorite little italian place (the Olive Garden).  This month they have never-ending pasta bowls going on for $8.95 plus we had a coupon for $4.00 off two entrees, which was in last Sundays paper.  All you can eat salad and pasta for less then a meal at Culver's!  Thanks for a great night Amber, we will get that movie watched one of these days. 

I Should Be Doing Something.

I have to clean and finish packing yet, and what am I doing? I'm looking at ideas on what to do with my computer armoire that's been sitting unfinished for hmmm.....about 9 years. I know what I'm doing with it finally, but now what color? I may finally get this thing finished before the Mayan calendar ends.

I Caught the Fish!!!!

....On Camera;-)

This is one of the two fish that have been eluding my nephew. He came to the pier today to mock us because we didn't have a fishing pole or a net. One of these days Bassie....you will be ours (insert evil laugh here).

Eddie Bauer

I'm going to Eddie Bauer at the outlet mall with mom today. If we go together we get an extra 20% off clearance, time to search out some long sleeved shirts. At this rate winter will be here by the end of October!

Putt-Putt

Monday we took the boys for one last special outing of the summer before school started. We went mini-golfing and then went to Frosty Freeze for a cool yummy treat. Needless to say I don't think there will be a Tiger Woods coming from our family, but we still had fun.

I want the last 3 hours of my life back!

So I just went for the interview for the Hy-Vee part-time florist position, and it could've been mine for $8.50 an hour if I had wanted to stick around for another hour and a half to get the orientation information. Thanks, but no thanks. I'll spend my time making stuff at home to sell instead.

Free Money!!!

Today I reached over 7,000 points on the MyPoints website again, that will bring me another $50 giftcard to either Kohl's or Old Navy to get some fall clothes. Since the weather in August/September does not want to cooperate with my current tank top and shorts wardrobe, it may be time for some updates.
