10-13-10

I'm not a coffee drinker but will occasionally
get a latte or cappucino.
On our return trip from Hoover yesterday evening
I stopped in Speedway and got a caramel latte.
It was really good and gave me a warm and fuzzy feeling,
perfect for the cooler weather.
But I made the mistake of drinking this a couple
hours before bedtime.
I did not sleep too well last night tossing
and turning and constantly waking up.
So my eyeballs feel shriveled up this morning
like they could just fall outta my head!
For sure gonna get a nap in today!
Need a little rest before this evening
as I've got 2 shows coming on tonight I want to watch.
9pm SyFy- Ghost Hunters
10pm Discovery - a new season of Storm Chasers
I've also been getting into a show called
Rehab, Party at the Hard Rock Hotel.
The new shows come on at 10pm Tuesdays on truTV.

As for Hoover, I have never seen it this low before.
In some places you could walk out to the middle
of the reservoir!

10:45AM

Got a gingerbread going in the oven at the moment.
Trying out a spring form pan for the first time
so will see how it goes.
I greased and floured it before hand.
I did not put anything like foil into the bottom
of it and 10 minutes into baking no leaks, whew!
The gingerbread mix was more watery than
what a cake mix is.
Once baked I'll let it sit and cool the rest of the day
and work on the rest of my recipe this evening.

I really wanted to get some flat bread done up
in the bread machine today but don't think
I have the energy to do it at the moment.

-------------------------------------------

11:15AM

Well I got an eye opener just now.
Just a lil bit because they still feel as though
they are shriveling up like raisins.

Anyway if I had a video of me at the moment
it would look a little something like this, LMAO!!
So it's a good thing no one can see me at the moment!
..

Downy called or should I say Proctor & Gamble.
They are changing the prize for the contest.
Instead of winning a trip to Proctor & Gamble
they are now doing away with that and sending
out a check.

HAPPY DANCE!!!!!

And damn it, I still forgot to ask what scent
I entered won. Guess I'll just have to wait til
it hits the stores and let y'all know, lol.

The lady told me it could take 30-60 days for
the check to arrive.
Just in time for Christmas!!
I'm not saying I would spend that amount on
Christmas gifts, but it sure would help
to build up the savings account
with any extra expenses for the holidays!

Tonight for supper we had Minute Man pizza and subs.
Was too tired to bake up some flat bread today for Chalupas.
I wanted to celebrate my new prize winnings
so pizza sounded good since another one of their
$6.99 coupons came in the mail today.

I most always get the hand tossed crust.
This has the thicker crust along the edges of the pizza.
Many people would eat their pizza up to the edge crust
and throw it away.
I've been telling the kids if they don't eat their crusts
to save them for later on.
We eat them like bread sticks with a little
spaghetti sauce or ranch dressing as dip.
Wrap crusts in a wet, wrung out paper towel,
and put into microwave a few seconds to warm.
Why let food go to waste.
And why spend the money for an order of bread sticks.

We all like to share our couponing experiences, preferences, frustrations etc., right?! With that being said, you may want to take a few minutes out of your day to complete the coupon survey found here (it took me about 5 minutes to complete). In exchange for the completed survey, you will be entered to win a $100 Visa Gift Card. At this point, I am not sure what the odds of winning the gift card are, so you’ll have to decide whether this is worth your time. Good luck! :)

to score a FREE Breathe Right Advanced sample!

------------------------------------------

My tip for when requesting coupons, samples
& freebies is to check the URL to see if the words
before the dot com are associated with the maker,
manufacture or offer.
I sometimes shy away from offers that say anything else.
For example to get the breathe right strips
I check the URL and it said breatherightstrips.com.

Well I might go work on a cheesecake.
I'm debating on a box no bake cheesecake mix
or a homemade baked one.
This is for the TOH contest.


-----------------------------------

7:00PM

Cheesecake is in the oven.
I went with a baked one.

----------------------------------

7:15pm

Cool, Kroger just sent me a survey in my email.
Got a $1.00 for doing it.

--------------------------------

8:15pm

Getting ready to head towards the bedroom
to watch some shows.
But before I go I wanted to show
you my cheesecake I pulled out of the oven.
It will have to sit and firm up before
I can remove the spring pan.
I also made some homemade maple
whipped cream to go on top :0p
To give you an idea of size it's a
10 inch wide pan by 3 inches high.
