Extreme couponing

Ok, so I have never actually watched this show, extreme couponing, but I think I should. I always use coupons. It is rare if I go to the store without one. And now they made a whole show out of it. Granted the show is very extreme but still, these people are walking away with AMAZING deals.

I am hoping to do that today. I am headed to walmart, I have two coupons for $1.00 off and supposedly both of these products are on "rolllback" at walmart this week for $1.00! So I will keep you posted.

Also I am going to Rainbow tomorrow because on Saturday they double 10 manufacturers coupons!!! And I have some great ones to double!

***update***
So my first attempt at extreme couponing was a success. I scored a free box of bandaids and free disposable razors using the right coupon and the right walmart sale! Woohoo.

New Specs

Isn't he handsome! And totally adorable! I love his glasses. Now if I could only get him to keep them on. He wouldn't eat his dinner with them on, he said it was too hard. So we made a deal that he had to put them on right after dinner and wear them the rest of the night. He has a tball game tonight so we'll see how well that goes. He is currently wearing them now though and has been for like 15 whole minutes!

Lets hope he doesn't break them because boy were they expensive, and of course we have no eye insurance.

How soon can he get lasik???

who knew this blog would turn in to my weight loss story...

I have reached another weight loss milestone! Weight watchers doesn't recognize it, but to me it is a big deal. I have made it in to the "150's". And since I started in the "180's" this is a BIG deal to me! I finally set some work clothes aside (well moved them to the basement actually) since they were so big that they were starting to look really bad. I've never experienced that before! I am almost able to wear my pre Coen dress pants (all the clothes I bought when I started dental school and we had to dress up everyday). Which is really excited because I LOVE those pants!

If it would ever stop raining maybe we'd be able to get outside and bike ride.

The count down to Florida has started (it is now so close it has made it on to my white board calendar!) I am so excited for a few days to sit on the beach, read, nap and spend some one on one with Josh. Hopefully I can shed a few more pounds in the next 4 weeks so I look even better sitting on the beach!

Bonfires

Going to gramma's today! Haven't been there in what seems like forever. Hoping to get outside a little after the birthday celebration. Maybe find some rocks and trees to spruce up our yard. Not getting any 30 feet tall trees this time...although they did make nice fire wood last night! Hopefully we'll bring back some fire wood too. We've been having bonfires as often as we can, we start early and end early but they are still fun. We always manage to pick the windiest nights and have had trouble getting the fires started but last nights was perfect! Great way to start the weekend.

Grow ego grow

Feeling pretty proud of myself right now. Went garage sale-ing with the kids this morning. Found an awesome dinosaur lamp for $1.00 for Coen's room. Found a doll stroller for $.50 and a game that I once played and liked, compatibility, for $.50. Then I found a bunk bed, with two twin mattresses for $35, but I only had $34 so I got a bargain. The mattresses scare me a little with all the bed bug hype, but they look very nice and I have this mattress spray that is made out of enzymes that gets rid of all organic matter. So I used that. I am going to try to sell one mattress to Dad (for Jeph) and keep the other one I think.

So the proud part comes when I went to mom and dads, hooked up the trailer all by myself and loaded the bed and mattresses and drove all the way home without any incidents! Go me!

I am also proud of myself because I have lost 10% of my starting weight. My total weight loss is now 20.6 pounds! I am halfway there! Feeling good, and looking good (for me).

Not on my bucket list, but I'll do it anyway

Well it looks like I won't be able to escape the one thing I've always dreaded doing. I have been so lucky to have never done this before but now it looks like I have to face the facts and finally make myself a resume.

I dread this.

I don't know why this is such a fear, such a dreaded task but it is.

Oh well.

Don't worry. I am not losing my job. Only possibly cutting back days. We are slow, and only getting slower, with no signs up picking up any time soon. So I will be looking for a part time dentist job to get me through. I don't want to work Fridays (or possibly even Saturdays) but I guess I'd rather do that than move out of my house.

So if anyone wants to write my resume, I will pay you, in Easter candy.
