Not a whole lot to say today. I have been so busy with this coupon gaming that I am about to drive myself to drink, LOL. Lot's of great deals last week, but my favorite deal was 4 Cover Girl lipsticks, regular price $5.99 each, almost $24 dollars regular price. After the store coupon and the manufacture coupon I paid $1.02 for all four! What a steal! Ha ha! I got free Poise pads (kinda like depends, but pantyliners) this week! I got them free and then they gave me $8 in Extra Care bucks for taking!! After all, you never know when a girl my pee in her pants from excitement of all this free stuff!!!

Me, Mason and Ashlyn went to visit our friends farm 2 weeks ago and then went to the park. Here are a couple of pics of the kids having a grand ol' time!

Check out this sweet piggy! Piggy princess is the cutest thing. She makes me want to get a little pink pig to run around my back yard. But then I remembered how stinky they can be...and decided I would just visit Princess, ha ha!



Lord have mercy, somebody get me some nitroglycerin! That is my child petting that huge horse! This is the same girl that used to be soooo afraid of animals, even little dogs. Wow, she is growing up on me :)




Hello there baby goat!




Here's Mason holding a chicken with a froo froo hair do! Never, ever seen a chicken like that!

More info on the grocery game

I have been grocery gaming for a month now. I will list a few good finds that I have gathered in the last month. Let me just say before I start listing, that when I first read about the grocery game about a year ago(procrastination again), I thought that it just had to be too good to be true. WOW...why didn't I start this sooner? I started reading pretty heavily about it about a month and a half ago and figured that it would take me forever to get a stockpile going...NOT so! In just a month I have gotten the following (plus more)~

Piano lessons

I am 35 years old and have always wanted to learn how to play the piano. Last year my husbands friend GAVE us a piano. It sits in the garage...nice place for it eh? Last summer I bought myself a book off of Ebay on how to teach yourself piano. I finally picked it up 3 weeks ago, he he...nothing like a procrastination....and am learning how to play. I LOVE it....wish I would have done it way sooner. So I figure I will make my way through this book and then hopefully will find a "real" piano teacher to help me play better. I played the trumpet in school and taught myself to play the clarinet..no books or anything. So I figured that I could stumble my way through this piano book and get started!!!
