Batcrap Crazy

My big plans for the day include, nothing, nothing, meet Hubby for lunch, nothing, nothing and if there's time, more nothing.  Then it's a batcrap crazy weekend at the restaurant - where we are low on preppies.

So I'm resting up today.  Which I need because last night, someone peed on the bed and no Ken, it wasn't Tim.

I'm pretty sure anyway.

PS: Dig Tim's blog (maybe don't mention the pee), and read about the Ray Harryhausen Blogfest tomorrow.  Think this is one I'll do, since I loved Harryhausen's work as well.

PPS: Looks like there's still MORE FREE Junie B., books available.  Just click FREE BOOKS, and it will take you to my post about it, which will direct you to the signup form.

Junie B. Jones, seriously funny read.  

Peeing in the Rain

You know what's nice about having my new blogging goal?  Makes me sit down and write something on this blog.  Otherwise I'd skip today.  And tomorrow.  And for sure the weekend.  Probably not back until next week sometime.

But with this goal I gotta sit my ass down and write something here.  Now ... is this the most interesting post in the world?  No.  But see that's the great thing.  It doesn't matter.  Just so I hit 27 days in a row.

And that's kinda fun.

Meanwhile here's Baby Bug, all kinds of soaked from today's rain.  And Miss Wiggy, forget about it.  She ran outside to pee, and turned right around.  Cracks me up.

But then, I don't think I'd fancy peeing in the rain either.

Look at This Face

Here's Baby Bug.  She's the sun patch baby, today.

Grumbles

I tell ya, for all the grumbles I made about having to start late in prep and work by myself, I'm getting the most bang for my morning buck, at home.  Which is very cool.

Just took a few weeks to get me comfortable.  And dig this, I already got a bunch done this morning and now, I'm about to pay bills.  Which to be honest, I really enjoy doing.

You know how people go to the casinos and put money in machines? I do that but with online bill paying and I find it fun and exciting.  Click, click, click, and paid.

I like it.

But I notice I'm spending too much time online this morning, so I best get back into work mode thinking and finish my chores.  Then work.  Then cracked.  Then tomorrow I have the ENTIRE ding dong day off. 

Ah ... it's a good day.

This is what Miss Wiggy is doing right now.

Buttload of Table Space

Today went super fast at work.  Got done by one - which never happens.  Then home.  Rested, ate, got ready and then we hit Wegmans cafe. 

I love that place.  Have you been?  Great cafe, good drinks (most times), and a buttload of table space for Tim to write and me to sort, clip and organize coupons.  

And now, for tonight's bake.  Potatoes, onions, Gruyere cheese, smoked ham, and fluffy eggs.  This is a killer good bake that has just the right amount of everything. 

That's about all from me.  You Boogerbutts have a good one.

I Don't Know What to Blog About

I was trying to blog each day for twenty-seven days, and it's day four and I don't know what to blog about.

That can't be good.

Snag a Super Duper Deal @Staples

Got a Staples near by? Need some nearly free paper for your zine, coupons or writing?  Click Staples Paper Coupon.

Print the coupon.  Pay for the paper.  Register slip will spit out an easy rebate.  Redeem online and they'll put a check in the mail (or PayPal).  Not a reward, but actual check.

In the end, pay only the tax.  Not too shabby.

Meanwhile, it's Friday night.  I'm done with a LOOONNNG day in prep and I'm eating the best salt and pepper chips/crisps on the planet.  Got them at Staples (for free).

They are so yummy.

And now ... it's a choice between my jams and cocoa or Dollar General with my Fiver.  Choices, choices, choices.  

A Quickie

I'm headed to prep (the proper time today), and it's gonna be a full weekend.  Then after work, Dollar General has it's fiver off twenty-five - if you have one near you, grab a coupon of their website and save some dough.

Meanwhile, here's a shot from our back deck.  Off to make pineapple upside down cake. 

Cheers and boogie boogie.

Goal in Sight

If you've been to our house or gamed on Skype with Tim, you know my girls can be obnoxiously loud, especially Bug - and always right after he puts his headphones one.

Every single Monday.

But I swear they aren't always so loud.  Here's what they looked like today, while couponing at the table.

Meanwhile, I don't go to work until eleven frickin' thirty, and so far with their change in schedule, it hasn't worked for me and my prep buddy.  Neither of us get everything done, and since they want us out, we go.  But the good news is I'm no longer stressed about hours, or money.

Instead, I'm focused on getting that down payment for a car, and in doing that, have gotten better at couponing. 

The great thing is, I left Dollar General yesterday after taking my newbie couponer friend, and right across the street the a car dealership.  Yeppers.  Goal in sight. 

This what my table looks like right now.

See ... they aren't always bad.

Sitting on the chair is my coupon bag.  This image expands.
And this is what my bag looks like after shopping.

Newbie & No Bake

Today is day 2 of not baking.  It feels weird.  But I've got a stack of dishes and a fridge that needs cleaned.  Don't think I'll do the fridge today.  Don't want to have all the excitement in one big burst.  Best to stretch it out.

You know.  Not overdo.

Meanwhile, I took my newbie couponer friend shopping today and she did great.  I am super duper proud of her.

Her budget for the day was one buck.  And get this.  She got all this and they paid her 20 cents, plus a $10 reward.

Pretty frickin' good.

9 Cans of Tuna
2 Big Buckets of Folgers
2 Small Boxes of Creamer
8 Lady Speed Sticks
3 Boxes of Bounce

Total Amount Due Before Coupons: $43.08

Total Paid After Coupons: Negative $0.20 - They paid her.
