Odds and Ends

Hello! I realized I havent written on this blog in awhile. So its a Sunday and Im working :(. Im very tired because I didnt go to sleep at a decent hour and the typical head cold is making me tired. I keep thinking I get to sleep in, in the morning but then I remember that I have to take CPR in the morning. But after Tuesday I have 6 days off to catch up on everything.

I stayed up late talking to Charlie. It was good to talk to him because he made me feel not so alone on the whole job situation. It was like I finally found someone who understood. But today is going pretty well, I have this kid I would just love to take home with me. SO CUTE. And I think Adam is going to come eat with me, so that will be nice.

We went to Clarksville yesterday to visit. It was nice to see everyone. Thier Christmas tree is so pretty. Were going to have to go look for one that is bigger after Christmas when they are on sale.

So I just thought I would share some thoughts about grocery shopping. Its really a love hate relationship. I hate going but I like it at the same time haha. I really love the clipping coupons part, I love getting a deal. Recently, we signed up for this online system called the grocery game. Its at the grocerygame.com. It bascically looks at the grocery stores around you and compares them with the coupons that are circulating and finds you bottom out prices in the store. So it allows you to stock pile items when they are at the lowest price theyll be in a 6 week period. It also finds deals that are free are even earn you a little change. I have enjoyed doing this and looking at the savings each week. We have also been able to stock pile on items which is good for storage purposes. It is time consuming at first but then you get the hang of it. Its funny when I try and let Adam take over because we spend twice as long at the store trying to find items haha. But its sweet he tries.

At the store this week I bought a bunch of stuff to start my baking projects for the holiday. Im going to make caramel brownies which are Adams favorites. Im going to make a coca cola cake. And while watching Talk of the Town I got some good peppermint recipes. I will be attempting to make made from scratch peppermint cookies and peppermint bark, one with white and one with milk chocolate. I wanted to do dark chocolate but I didnt see any dark baking chips. Oh well. I need to do a bunch of wrapping and sorting. I also need to start addressing my Christmas cards to night. If you want one let me know.

I guess I will go. Have a good day.
