Where'd she go?

I know it's been a long time since I've posted. I really don't know what is wrong with me. I'm just completely unmotivated. I haven't even checked my blogs that I follow for several days. I usually check them everyday or ever other day, but I just haven't wanted to. I love you all, don't get me wrong. I'm just not feeling myself.

Thank you all for your concern about Cole. I self-diagnosed him with Roseola . . . the rash appeared the day after my last post. It's kinda sad that I knew more than the dumb ER doc (okay so he didn't have the rash when I took him in, but he didn't even tell me to look for one to appear). Nanci Braithwaite, RN, BSN at your service!

So, my new thing is couponing. It's slightly addicting and thrilling. Weird word choice? Just try it and you'll see what I mean. Lindsay told me a few years ago about the pinching your pennies website and I've checked it off and on. But now, thanks to Ashley, I know the system. I know how to save major bucks and it's not too hard either. The worst part about it is looking out on my driveway Sunday mornings to see 6 bright yellow newspapers sitting there. My neighbors probably think I'm CRAZY! My last trip to the grocery store, I spent $60, saved $112! And that was with just one week of coupons. Just wait until I have a few months saved up! See what I mean? Thrilling and addicting.

Ok, now you are going to have to teach me what you know.

Way to go! I used coupons for years, but never have done that! Keep up the good work. Glad you were able to diagnose Cole! If I need medical help I know where to turn.

You saved $112 buckos? I use coupons but that is major. Way to go sista!!! Funny b/c it reminds me of this Wife Swap that was on TV a couple weeks ago, anyway I want to know your secrets!

Nanci said...

Call me up and we can chat about it. It's really exciting!

jessica said...

That sounds like fun, NOT! I am just not a coupon kind of gal, but maybe I should be if you can save that much money. Will you teach me? Love you and miss you

I want to know more about the coupon thing!

You are cracking me up. But, seriously? I am putting on this front because I am totally jealous. I have no motivation and I hate coupons and grocery stores. Blah! Call me with your next deal, I want in.

Ashley's comment totally got me laughing and RN, BSN I am so glad you are in tune with your medical knowledge. Way to go, sista!

I'm ready to delve into the couponing world myself. You have inspired me.

Glad you are having fun couponing with your friggin' six papers! So funny! But very smart! I have had a couple of people try to teach me how to do it and I am just not that bright, so I just have to have my friend call me up and tell me which coupons to clip and where to take them!
I miss you like crazy! When are you coming back up? Hope your foot is doin' okay!
Love you!

I HAVE TOTALLY JUMPED ON THE COUPON TRAIN AND LOVE IT.I CAN'T BELIEVE THE MONEY YOU CAN SAVE. THE FUNNY THING IS MY HUSBAND IS WAY IMPRESSED BY IT. ASHLEY IS THE BOMB. I HAVE MISSED YOUR POSTS, I HOPE YOU GET MORE MOTIVATION SOON!

I'm doin the coupons too Nanci. Ok...6 papers?? Someone told me that's the best way, but I'm only getting one right now. And Penny Pincher...I was looking around on that and it was too confusing for my little brain. How do you use it?? I use couponsense, but you have to pay for it...I don't like that.

P.S. why didn't we talk at golf lessons? That was really dumb. We could've been best buddies.
