Spring Where Are You?

Ugh! Snow and cold, cold, cold. No fun going on here. But we're hopeful.
We had a nice weekend with everyone home. Kenzi had to work Sunday afternoon so we had our Easter dinner on Saturday. It was great of course. Kenzi is still learning a lot from her job and has very interesting stories to tell. She's trying to find a roomate to stay in Logan during the summer but so far no luck. :( Ez went to a different job this weekend and will not be selling cars anymore. He will be working with a local company here selling parts for motorcycles and then eventually they will be opening a wake boarding center along with their boats and water crafts. It's his true love. So he's excited about that. He learned alot from Adam and appreciated his time at Hansen Chevrolet. Colt is still working with Paul and planning his future...
Mom and dad are in Mexico and they felt the earthquake that happened on Sunday afternoon. They called to tell us everyone was OK. They started to feel the shake then Wade yelled at them to get out of the house. Kinda scary thinking about your 80 year old parents hurrying out of the house. They were fine. I asked dad if mom was nervous and he said she only gets nervous if I think I'm having a heart attack. Great. . . Mom's a trooper. They will stay in Baja for another week then home. I'm glad they're healthy enough to keep going. We will be planning dad's 80th b-day party this August. Can't wait to go home for a week.

What the Heck?


OK I've just been going thru my mail, it's been about a week and I'm cleaning off my desk. I have in the mail something from AARP and now death benefits to pay off my funeral in case I have no money. What the hell? I'm not even 50 yet and they're writin' me off. I refuse to even look at that crap. I can still do as headstand and handstand everyday... to keep up and... and... and... can shop all day long and not get tired without a diet to keep me going! So there!

Review for March

So just to let you know what I did couponing this month.
Total $1007.12
Saved $491.33
OOP $515.79
Thats an average of $130.00 per week. Not bad for buying multiples of items, 16 boxes of cereal, (I was forbidded to buy anymore...) TP, canned corn, frozen juice for summer, sausage, canned broth. I love my couponing!

It's Been Along Time. . .

Yes, I'm still here, seems like I fell off the face of the earth doesn't it? I feel like it too! Just alot happening here, but mostly we've all been sick. With the flu and colds it hasn't been pretty. But
we are on the uphill swing, Ez is the last today 4 days and running for him, so hopefully we can be done with this stuff and move on!
Kenzi is doing great still with her job, will be coming home this weekend for Easter. Colt is working with Paul and Ez is still selling cars. Everyone is content at the moment. Yeh!
I did my coupon shopping today. Would have spent $223.77 but with savings, spent $104.00.
Pretty darn good if I don't say so myself. :)
Hopefully I'll have some pictures to post over the weekend. I hope everyone enjoys their Easter weekend.

Is Spring on It's Way?

Wow! I'm feeling trunky for spring, how about you? I received the new Pottery Barn catalog and it's full of great ideas to decorate your home. I love looking at the book and then seeing how I can come up with the same ideas for a fraction of the cost. I'm on the prowl... I'll be showing you updates. Stay tuned! AND Happy Early Spring!
