Has anyone else noticed the lack of posts lately? This week has been seriously the busiest week ever for me between training at my new job (almost 2 hours away), finals in 2 Baker classes, a 3 hour+ glucose test that involved FOUR blood draws (I should find out today if I have gestational diabetes). I seriously haven’t even had time to consider stopping at Rite Aid or Walgreens this week…or even look at the deals they have!

I am happy to say that my busy week is over though and today is some R&R with Justin. I think we’ll be hitting up Michigan’s Adventure…although being pregnant I believe this means my fun will be restricted only to the wave pool since all the other rides are off-limits. Oh well, at least it’s nice out

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

I just signed up for a month-long trial of Blockbuster online which includes 2 movies or games out at a time and unlimited in-store exchanges! Go here to select the 2 movie or game plan and make sure you enter promo code: 4weekfreetrial2010 (see spot circled on graphic below)

Just make sure to mark your calendar so you can cancel your account before the trial expires!

I am excited. I just rented Justin a Playstation 3 game and a new release movie! It will be a nice surprise for his upcoming days off.

I just received the September issue of Parents magazine and am happy to note lots of coupons (although definitely not as many as All You!). When I first get a magazine in the mail I flip through it quickly to see what coupons are waiting to be clipped.

I was happily surprised for this issue because  of the following coupons:

• 20% off your entire purchase at Amazon.com that expires 9/30 (found on page 121)
• Save $2 on any size Tide Liquid expires 9/30 (found between pages 164-165)

Amazon currently has  Parents Magazine subscriptions for just 50 cents an issue (for two years meaning a total of just $12).

 Enter to win a free bag of Dole Salad here.Looks like you can play the game three times a day!

Use zip code: 02019 and if you lose you’ll still be able to print a $1 off any Dole salad coupon. Pair this coupon with a sale for a great deal on salad. (I’m happy about this coupon…bf seems to think we need to eat more salads…blah!)

Friday I had a yard sale….it was quite successful. Around 2:00 I had my mom count the money I’d been having her stow away in the house (I did ‘cash drops’ when I received bigger bills). I couldn’t believe how much I made in just 5 hours (I really wasn’t set up until 9am this morning!) So I decided to pack up. It was too hot sitting in the sun and I was just tired.

I got home and did some cleaning since family is coming over on Sunday. I then took a nice, long nap and now I’m working 3rd shift at the detention center. Needless to say I’m still tired. Only 3 more hours of work though and I’ll be home sleeping for a few hours before bf and I head out to the Air Show!

Hope everyone else is enjoying their weekend!

Sorry for the lack of posts today. Blogger was down and I wasn’t able to post anything all morning!

Hopefully I can get some posts up (in between cleaning up and organized my stockpile room!)
