8:35am
Called mom this morning and canceled
our plans of going out to lunch
and taking her to the dentist today.
Kept Jonathan home from school
due to his persistent cough.
He seemed to do good throughout the
night with the Vick's on the bottoms
of his feet.
------------------------------
Yesterday between me and mom
we got 3 coupons in the mail
for free boxes of Nice'N Easy
foam hair coloring.
Now let's see if we can find it
in the stores.
Don't ya just hate it when you
have a freebie coupon
and the stores don't even carry the product.
At Kroger I got a catalina coupon
for a free Coffee-Mate creamer.
Here lately I've been seeing a lot
of pop coupons in the stores.
Last night I got a bunch of Coke
coupons. $1.00 off two 2 liter bottles
with the purchase of $4.00 or more
from the deli, meat, produce or
frozen food departments.
These were found in the front of
the store by the checkout.
Expires 4-30-11.
Other coupons I've found lately
in the store. Remember these will
double! Found on bottles,
hang tags, products and tear pads.
.50 cents off any Coke product.
Free 2 liter bottle of Coke
when you purchase 3 two liters.
Buy 3 two liters of Coke
and get $1.00 off.
$1.00 off three 2 liters of Sierra Mist.
.75 cents off Emeril's Seasoning.
.30 cents off 2 liter of Sun Drop (7UP product)
I swoop up on the pop coupons
and save them in hopes
of finding them on sale
for $1.00 or less.

Valentine's Day Idea
If you were lucky enough
to find candy canes marked down
after Christmas, now's the time
to put those to use.
I was able to find boxes of
candy canes at Kroger for .10 cents each.
Frost some cookies and place
two mini candy canes on top
in the shape of a heart.
Great for Valentine parties
at school!
-----------------------------------
10:30am
Cleaning my living room
and rearranging some furniture.
Trying to make room to put
an exercise thingy in here.
Not very many options
when you have a small space.
Got the curtains pulled open
and it feels good to let a little
sun shine on in here to brighten
up the place!
Whelp I gotta get back to work.
------------------------------
12:30pm
Tony and another maintenance guy
just brought over our
exercise machine.
Not too shabby for free
and something found next to the dumpster!!
Boy you sure do feel the
burn when using this thing!
------------------------------
4:00pm
I called WOW internet/cable/phone
to tell them our internet hasn't been
running the greatest and our phone
service is horrible. Always garbbled
and it cuts out while you are talking to
someone. They have me reboot the modem.
I told them I did that already yesterday
but we did it again.
Then she wants me to bypass our wireless router
and unplug the modem and plug
the computer directly into the router.
DUH - I have a wireless router for a reason,
not to have to take my computer into
another room, what a pain in the butt.
I just told her I would do that at another
time. She thinks our router is bad.
For $50+ and only 2-3 years old, it
better not be bad.
I can't understand why our wireless router
would have anything to do with our phone.
We don't get a wireless signal to our phone.
Then she says I should delete my history
and cookies on my computer
that it could be causing it to run slow.
Come on now, we have several computers
and it's not just my computer
that's having problems with the internet
loading slowly.
I know if I were to change cable companies
I would have the same problems because
they all run through the same cable
lines. It's just a matter of finding
the right cable person who knows how to fix
the problem without charging me
anymore!
