Wine…or whine… that is the question.

I was able to have a glass of wine with a friend from college (VCU)last night. It was nice to have grown up conversation.

However, the whole time, I was worried about my stupid stressful yearbook deadline… and debating whether or not I was going to be able to make it. It’s tomorrow at midnight…and if everything goes as planned (which it probably wont but i can be optimistic, right?) it’ll be submitted on time.  [It kinda has to be, or the ship date gets pushed back…oops.]

So, here’s to starting a new chapter of blog entries.  This is, what, the 3rd attempt… 3rd times a charm, right?

So… it begins… again.

I’m going to try and be better at this whole blogging thing, one more time.  Seriously…it’s not like I don’t HAVE the time.  Well, actually, it is.  I have so many things I should be doing at this very moment, however, I’m slacking and am not taking care of them.

  1. Laundry
  2. Dishes
  3. Vacuuming
  4. Putting clothes away
  5. Homework
  6. Work work
  7. Sleeping

A lot of changes are going on in my life…more on that later.

PS- I love Windows Live Writer… its my new blogging toy. :)

My super fabulous shopping trip to Rite Aid

So I just posted this over at Karen's blog... but feel the need to share...

Cascade Reg 4.99, sale 2.99 - 1.00 coupon = 1.00 Saved 3.99

Alli 90 count with BONUS 90 count starter kit. Reg $59.99 - 10.00 coupon = 49.99 (One 60 day starter pack was 49.99...)

Always Reg 3.99, sale 2.99 - .50 coupon. Saved 1.50

Always Reg 3.99, sale 2.99 Saved 1.00

Total: 52.91 tax included.

Used: $25 gift card from transferring a prescription.

Actual OOP: 27.91.
Total Savings: $16.50 in coupons + FREE Alli 90 pack (49.99) + $4 in sales = $70.49

**Updated: 3/29/09: I got the Alli coupon in the RiteAid flyer. It's there nearly every week! And if you play your sale correctly, you can get the DOUBLE starter pack cheaper than the single REFILL pack!! The only difference between the starter packs and the refills is that the starter packs have the information booklets in them and the BLUE Alli shuttle....which is sometimes handy to have 2.)
