The kids and I have signed up for the MS walk in Fort Worth for March 27th, 2010. David and Alexis are going to have their own fundraiser sometime early next year to raise money, so if you have any ideas on what they can do, let me know.

My kids are growing up, David will be 17 on Monday and Alexis 15 on Tuesday -yikes!

Freebie Friday

Went and watched Alexis perform this morning at the pep rally, she looked so cute and so grown up. Sitting in a high school gym for a pep rally is a real adrenaline rush or rather it was for me. I couldn't help but look around at all of those faces and remember that that was me only(ha!) 30 years ago! Listening to the noise as they all screamed out their class chants, well it was just fun to watch. In a scenario like this I become very aware of my disability cause ya know those kids stood through 75% of the pep rally. But when the whole thing was over my kids and their friends came over and gave me a hug and kiss as they left the gym, without sounding too sentimental it made me smile and thank God for all that I have.


It's free chocolate day!

My Rant

Yes my weekly run to Target, Perry drops me before class and I get to kill almost 2 hours by myself in a store! As a woman who hardly ever goes to the store by herself anymore it is a real treat to shop without having someone looking over my shoulder. If Alexis is with me she inevitably wants just about everything in sight and if the store is Target or Wal-Mart then it can go from junk food to make-up to re-decorating her room! FYI, I must not be the only one that knows about some of these deals out there cause I can't seem to capitalize on all of them at one store(ya think)!? And I look forward to the day that I can actually check out and get to the car without finding an error on my receipt. Today I really tried to pay attention and I pointed out a candle that rang up the wrong price and the guy was so nice about fixing it that I just started chatting and didn't pay attention to the rest of the stuff! When I got to the car I got overcharged by 3 bucks so in Perry went with receipt in hand and out Perry came with the 3 dollars. Same thing happened at Wal-Mart and bless his heart after he got me all loaded up, back into the store he went, came back with 2 dollars that time. And he always does it with a smile. I can't even imagine over the years how much we have all overpaid. Personally I think all those bar codes have been the culprit behind over charging and a complete money maker for the businesses. OK so that's how I feel about that, geez I really do have too much time on my hands.
More rants are forthcoming, so the question is do I now just sit around conjuring up things that tick me off? Maybe, cause seems like alot ticks me off!

My Favorites

I am posting all of my favorite sites, these are the ones that I check daily whether I need to or not.

  • www.woot.com I have bought a couple things off of here and whenever I price compare them no matter what it is if woot has it it is a usually a great price
  • www.slickdeals.net They have several deals posted and it is easy to quickly scan the page and hot deals have a red asterisk/thingy next to them
  • www.dealnews.com I like this site cuz it ranks the deals by hotness or category or by most recent. I found some great deals here this past Christmas.
  • www.hip2save.com has Target coupon deals listed and go to www.hotcouponworld.com to print Target coupons. I have about 12 single serve cereal cups in pantry now that are free with the Target coupon! (If you buy more than 1 I tell/ask cashier that I have multiples and does she want to run them all at once or in separate transactions, normally they will do them all together, so I only pick up 3 or 4 per trip)

And on Labor Day if you go into a chick fil a with a team shirt/jersey you can get a free sandwich, check out the details at www.chickfila.com

If you like Aveda and have a store near you click on this link for a postcard for a free full size product on your birthday, register for the birthday club

I did do a run to Target on Tuesday again. I follow 2 or 3 bloggers who consistently walk out of Target with sacks full of bargains for under a dollar. This was my 3rd attempt and I just can't seem to do it! The stuff they are getting is not neccessarily things I need but I would just donate what I don't use. By the time I get there they are out of everything that I am looking for! Still people it is a goal and I will not give up til I am able to get that sack full for under a dollar! Everyone has to have a GOAL and sadly enough that is mine.
