Welcome Spring!

View from my bedroom window this lovely spring day!

Weather

It's 65 degrees out. Feels tropical.

It's awesome.

Holy Bat Batman!

and speaking of the coupons...

CVS had a deal this past week where if you bought $15 worth of Planters NUT-rition bars, you got $5 Extra Bucks back. I love the energy ones- the boxes are normally $3.39/each for 5 bars... but they were on sale for $2.50 each.

So I bought 6 of them. Had $1 off coupons for each one, got $5 back... final cost: $0.67 a box.

Sweet.

Won't have to buy those again for awhile- just need to pace myself. They're so delicious and really fill me up.

Got a good deal on cereal and milk too- which is great since I'm beyond broke! =]

Extreme Couponing

Ok, I thought of something to report on.

TLC has ordered 12 episodes of Extreme Couponing and I'll be watching every single one.

Please, please, please shoot me if I ever do this. I'm all for the deals, but I'm not going to be buying and STOCKPILING 140 years worth of TP or deodorant.

I've started doing the couponing thing for real- I've tried it before, but it just turns into a mess. This time, I'm much more organized... but I'm not going to be dumpster diving either. There are LINES that I'm NOT willing to CROSS. Sorry.

It is so amazing that people can get $5000+ worth of stuff for $250, but what's he going to do with 100 toothbrushes? Why aren't these people donating more to the foodbanks and spending more time with their significant others? 70 hours a week isn't awesome. Time is money, and they're not saving anything, certainly not their marriages. It's hoarding. And scary.

*steps off soap box*

Spring

I'm ready for it!

It's pouring out today- but at least we have little risk of a tsunami hitting CT any time soon. There are always things to be thankful for.

I need sunshine. No winter has been as hard on me as this one has been, and I think I'm SEVERELY vitamin D deficient!!

I don't have any news to report, nothing interesting to say. Sorry! Bring me some sun and we'll talk... until then....

Cabin Fever

I've got it. I mean, I got in.

I'm going to be showing at the Cabin Fever craft fair in Boston, on February 13th. I'm super nervous about it, and I'm a huge procrastinator when it comes to things like this, so I really need to get my ass in gear and start sewing. I've been focusing on how to best utilize a 7'x7' space to display camera straps and guitar straps- without spending a ton of money.

So instead of sewing, I'm writing a blog, which I haven't done since like October. Good job Liz, good job.

Ok- I'm off- wish me luck!!
