Savings on 7.23.09

So I am getting into savings and cutting coupons. I mean, come one, when a bill comes to $20.11 (let's say) and you get it down to $5.45, it an amazing. I love feeling like I can get things I like/love and still save a lot of money.

WALGREENS

I got:

4-2 pocket folders on sale for 9 cents each


5 pack of BIC highlighters on sale for .49 cents each


2 stocht tape on sale for .39 cents each


2 Kleenex boxs-with walgreens coupon .89 cents each


1 shaving cream bottle-with walgreens coupon 1.99 each


a pack of gum-with walgreens couple .99 cents each


Walgreens Advertised savings- $7.30


Walgreens Coupon Savings- $2.50


Total Savings- $9.80

I only paid $6.75 for all that. pure joy.

CVS/PHARMACY


These for on sale for $3.99 each. I had a coupon off for $2.00 off two bottles. So that made them $2.99 each. Which is amazing, there are the big bottles, 32 FL oz. They will last a long time.


Thanks to other blogs, like, http://www.moneysavingmom.com/money_saving_mom/ , I have been printing off amazing deals and getting free samples sent to me in the mail.

It fun saving money!!

Is it worth is?

Being single it gives me plenty of time to think about why I am single, yeah.

I think it comes down to my looks are the greatest, I need to work on the whole weigh thing and I don't have a lot of confidence.

But the big issue to me and why i am single is, do i put out or not? Yeah, I went there because it a big battle in my head. 

I know that Christian thing to do is wait but will it be really that awesome? Or just do it? I mean I know people who have/had sex with lots of people and they are fine, just fine. And the people that do wait, make it seem so freaken awesome that they waited and everyone should. I know people who decide to put out before marriage and married that guy/girl that they did it first with. 

Seriously, what a girl to do?

Some guys don't date me because I won't have sex with them in the first month of dating. I mean if I decide to do this, it gonna be a while into dating him before doing the deed. 

I just want to make the right decision and be happy with it. 

This note makes me seem like I am 13, lol.

Pure Cute-ness

am I right or what?

Dear MTV

So I know Michael Jackson died and it a (kinda) sad lost but do you really have to talk and show videos about him for two (so far) straight? I mean come on, every freaking news station is talking about him, aren't there way important things going on then Michael Jackson.


He was a creep. (there I said it). He got a way with things that he shouldn't have, because he was acting like he was insane.

So, MTV, stop talking about him.


Also, Farrah Fawcett die that day too. She lost her battle with cancer, she was a dang good actress, she raised a lot of money for cancer, and she was a creep. You, MTV, should remember her too.



she was beautiful, inside and out.

Where to go?

I have lived in small towns all my life, always near a big city but never in one. I want that to change after college is done, of course.

The dream is, I finish college with a nursing* degree and get a job with the degree and it would take to the city ( but what city?).

New York City (?)

Chicago (?)

Washington DC (?)

Pittsburgh (?)

I don't know, I love them all so much and they all have different things to offer. But Ohio is getting lame and I don't really want to be much longer so I might leave before college is done and finish college in the new city, ahh the city.

*degree is still not decided so it can change at anytime.

A New Baby

On June 12, 2009 at 5:12pm, I became an anut.




His name is Connor Brantlee. 7lb and 7oz.
Mom and Baby are doing awesome.
They are home now and getting use to their new life.



I am hopping to meet him in July. Untill I will have enjoy pictures.


I love this little guy.

Being a christian or not

Jesus.

A Good man, right?
Yes.

Then why is so hard for me to completely trust him. I wish I could answer that. Some night, I just want to get on my knees and cry and pray to him but I don't I just go to bed or do something else. Why? Who knows.

I keep my heart so guarded, I am so afraid of being hurt. I know it part of life but I really don't want or need it. The main problem with keeping my heart so projected is, I don't let Jesus in. I just keep it all to myself.

I honestly don't know what to say but I know I need some change. A good kick in the butt would work.

Pray would work even better.
