One of my favorite things to do is couponing- even though I prefer to do it with my mom. She can work the deals out better than I can- I just don't think my mind works that way lol. I know that I have even called her to consult about how to deals if she isn't with me - including before I leave to go do a deal or even in the middle of the store /both depending on the situation! I tend to have the mentality that everything will go wrong , like say they don't have an item I need to do the deal and then have to improvise or something like that. We have had that happen with my mom and myself before. We have also had problems with places not wanting to stack coupons, not wanting to take a particular coupon for whatever reason and even really rude cashiers that just don't like dealing with people who coupon (they act like the difference is coming out of their personal pockets sometimes!) Of course , at most places I coupon I know certain cashiers that are more friendly and helpful and … [Read more...]
busy times in this little world
Hey Ya'll Well.. It has been a busy week in my little world and most of it hasn't been online either ha ha. I have read a little , watched tv a bit and just got random house stuff done. Yesterday I had to take my mom to the dentist (since she has to take a anti anxiety pill before she goes) then we ended up going to Habitat & the grocery store - for her to originally get Soup but she went down every aisle for some reason- and it is the grocery store that my mom and I don't even like it was just near habitat so that was kind of funny. Today we ended up going to CM and I got a lot of lounge around the house/comfy clothes +2 dresses. I only managed to get one shirt so that was odd. I also got 3 pairs of pants- I never try on clothes and well.. they didn't fit.. UGH! 2 were too small and 1 pair are like 4 sizes too big at least and I don't even know if anything can be done for them. Eh... no big deal really- their stuff is so inexpensive. I spent the day doing my typical daily … [Read more...]
Holiday Gift Guide Review: Teasia Tea #ad #sponsored #review #teasia
My Relevant Back Story (As Usual.. ) In recent years I have drastically cut down on how much Soda that I drink for the most part. I know at one point I had cut it out so much I had lost about 7lbs or so! I wish I could get that kind of mojo back- I was drinking quite a bit more water back then ! I am trying to make some healthier choices with things that I eat and drink- and these teas are super good for you, which I will get into in a little bit! I pretty much drink iced tea and lemonade and i'm trying to get back in the habit of. Something I have became more acquainted with lately though? HOT tea! I have always been curious about it, and didn't really know where to start. It kind of grew on me over time with starting drinking sleepytime tea at night (which kinda helped me on cutting back on the alcoholic stuff) I have also been into stress relief tea, tummy soothing tea, skin helping tea , throat coat tea and now thanks to my latest review item I am getting to try even more … [Read more...]
can I keep the writing mojo and the shade drama
Hey Everyone Well, They couldn't replace my shade yesterday because they didn't have the right size - let me rewind this a little bit and say I originally called down there around 3:15 and then I took Marley out and was sitting here waiting on them and when 5:00 came I was like o.k. maybe I should call back? And it is a good thing that I did because the work order never got put in or whatever. So I actually had the dude from the office come here (he's like the leasing manager or something of that sort- not a maintenance dude- because apparently they are hardly ever hear it seems lol anyways..) He was supposed to come back with the shade, but they didn't have the right size and he didn't have the credit card to go get one so I was like well CRAP because it is so stinkin' light in here at night. Well.. I ended up having David move the one from the other bedroom in here because we lucked out and it was the same size and well it isn't a big deal if there is one in there anyways … [Read more...]
Holiday Gift Guide Review: My PetPail #sponsored #ad #review #mypetpail
My favorite things to review as far as things that aren't specifically for me, are those that are for my fur babes Marley & Sam. Of course, with Marley being a dog it seems like she gets a lot more than Sam does + there are all these nifty things for travel when it comes to a dog- and Marley does like to travel! She often travels to my grandparents which is about 5 hours away (I say 5 but usually it's around 4 1/2 hours depending on who is driving/traffic/stops and all of that. A lot of times we do a double duty trip= there and back in the same day too. The last time we did it we traveled with my mom and dad and David & Myself slept the whole way home, but Marley sat straight up in the middle and stared out the windshield lol. I love to go to my grandparents, and other places but I have horrible travel anxiety. I am talking about if there is any tiny thing that I can worry about beforehand and talk myself out of going I won't go- but that is a total other story. I am talking … [Read more...]
Bad things in 3’s?
Hey Everyone Well.. I was already in a rotten mood - and then after I took a shower I went to pull up the shade here in the bedroom as usual.. and it FELL DOWN. Now I am waiting on maintenance to get up here to try to fix it- which honestly I'm going to likely need a brand new one because a piece of plastic broke when it fell! Of course our window is right where the street light is so if we don't get it fixed today it is not going to be fun tonight trying to sleep! The shade was honestly messed up anyways, it has been more years than I can remember since you could actually twirl it open because it was wore out so... at least we won't have to worry about me pulling them up and down after I get some new ones that I can twirl open again right? I just wish they would get up here and get this fixed before David gets here.. To top it off I was on the way out with Mars... I try to take her out early or a little later than usual because there are these 3 annoying kids that always run at … [Read more...]
