Let's Get Caught Up!!

Life has gotten so busy for me.  It's time for me to post here....let you know what is up....and work on getting my blog going again!

The busy busy time started the week of Bible school.  The week after that we were at family Bible camp for the week.

The following week I got into a little accident in the parking lot at the grocery store.  So, the lady's insurance company was fast to get to me and cut me a check for the damage.  After that was history....we spent days looking for a different car I could buy.  A week ago today my kids drove to a town 60 miles away and bought me a 1994 Lincoln Town Car.  It's looks good....but stalls on idle some.  I'm hoping and praying that will be a simple fix.
If you are interested in seeing the car, visit this post on gather:   My New "Baby" (Car)

We also were finally able to get a kitten.  He's going to be expensive to keep, but well worth it.  I've so missed having a cat over the past year.  You can see photos in my gather article here:
Meet the New Member of Our Family :)

This past week we've had my boyfriend's nephews staying with us.  My grandson also stayed the week to give them someone else to "play" with.

I've still been doing my Walgreen's shopping each week, but the deals seem so few now.  I am hearing rumors of a new rewards program to earn gift cards.  I don't think I will like it because I've so loved having the instant "cash" with the register rewards.   I am just reading about it here and there, can't find anything on the Walgreen's website itself.

I've also been able to do some coupon grocery shopping as well, which is always fun for me.  On one trip I had to have my daughter drive me in between cars.  She was amazed when the total after coupons was less than half of what it was before.  That made me feel good.

I am finishing up some crafts for my next giveaway here on my blog.  Be on the look out for that  coming soon.

I am in hopes in the near future to also have the opportunity to get some sponsored giveaways going.

I am also hoping starting this week to get back into my regular "groove" both online and around the house.

Until next time,

 

Checking In

I took Jasmine off to camp this afternoon.  I have felt this sad emptiness before even leaving the camp. It's going to be a long week for me with her gone.

I have been so incredibly busy this past couple of week.  Tomorrow is no different.  I'm going to be hanging out with my mom most of the day as she has 2 dr. appts. tomorrow and some shopping to do.

I have 100's (literally) of photos and videos that need to be shared on gather...not to mention the regular posts that I do there.
I did get in a post that covers my last 2 Walgreen's shopping trips.  I hope you will check it out.  Walgreen's Shopping 6/10/10 and 6/13/10

Speaking of Walgreen's....I went into my blog dashboard this morning to quickly scan the Walgreen's deal posts and discovered new ways to fix up our blog.  I ended up messing with that.  What do you think about the looks of my blog now?  I am really liking it!

We had our annual rummage sale at church yesterday.  I got some pretty good deals, although most of what I bought were more wants than needs.  I did get a wool blanket for $1 that I need for the inside of one of my quilts.

I'm going to do my best to get back to posting regularly, meaning daily to my blog.

I'm getting closer to cashout points with sidetick.com  and I've been getting more photos put in to redgage.com.  I haven't done anything on squidoo lately so need to get to that.

We are going through some heavy thunderstorms right now.  Flood warnings.  We seen lots of flooded fields while taking Jasmine to camp.  The camp suffered from the last flood our town had.  Just another worry for me while she is gone.  I am just seeing on the news about flooding in Arkansas.

Guess I better quit aimlessly blabbing here and decide if I am going to continue trying to earn some money this evening or if I am going to just head on to bed.

Have a great night,
