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.)

No use for a title.

So, anywho... not a whole lot to share these days. Things are going. Talked to Jeremy yesterday. They were hanging out in Norway... BRRRRR... he said it was 10 degrees out. No thank you friend.

This weekend I have my final exams for my two fall classes and the Christmas Craft Show at church. Been super busy getting my jewelry ready for it so mom doesn't have to do much but sit there and smile and SELL SELL SELL while I'm taking my exams. (What a nice mommy I have.)

SOOO after I take these 2 exams, I've got 2 classes left...one that starts in January and one that starts in May...and then I'm taking a WELL-DESERVED break from school for a while. I don't think I'm going to get my Master's right now. I have too much else to focus on...like LIFE. I've been missing out on it for quite some time now. (And I'm thinking of going into another field...so, I'm going to carefully plan out my next adventure... Mental Health Counseling...possible Child Psychotherapy...)

well...Grey's Anatomy is on...and I'm actually fully awake to watch it this week!! HOORAY!!

In celebration

In celebration of finishing my project before 9pm...I made cookies!! And ate half a dozen!! I deserved it. GO ME! 1 more project to do before the 22nd.

Dude...

...has it really been since the summer that I've posted to this thing?? Man, I'm slacking!! I apologize. I will do my best to correct the lack of time situation as soon as possible. In lieu of a post, here's some recent pics of my Little Man...

He's ready for his driver's license!! :)
We met Goldberg at the NAS Oceana Air Show
Yum, mac and cheese!!

Well, Karen asked for new pics... so, here you go!!!

...I even included a video...how nice of me. :)

He was looking for something under the sofa... I have no idea what he was looking for.

He has on his Poppy's ear protection from his days of working on airplanes.

"Doh...this is a SILLY song, Mommy!"
