Coupons!

Most of you know that I absolutely LOVE to coupon!
I don't really remember how I got started with it. But once I got started I was hooked! Now I find it hard to buy anything without a coupon or to pay full price for anything! My kids shop with me and saw how much we were saving and they are hooked too! Alex just got a Kroger card so she can load it with coupons!

I love to save and tell people about all the deals that are out there. My co-workers have just started couponing so I'm excited to have someone to talk about the deals with.

Now there are some of you that think I'm crazy. That's ok. If you don't want to use coupons just save them for me! I take handouts!

But just to show you what you can actually get, check this out.




I got all this for around $12! And a couple of gallons of milk not pictured.

And if you are at my house drinking one of the many Sobe Life Waters that are stock piled in my kitchen, I just want to let you know that they were all FREE! :)

So I really don't care who thinks I'm crazy or who hates to stand behind me in line at the checkout because I use too many coupons. I know that I'm providing a lot for my family on a little amount of money!

Ok gotta go for now, there's coupons to organize!

Houdini the Rabbit

So Jordyn has been asking for a pet.
First she wanted a dog then changed her mind and wanted a hedgehog. (not sure why a hedgehog, that's just Jordyn)But she changed her mind on the hedgehog too.

Finally she decided that she wanted a rabbit. Micah said a rabbit would be the perfect pet because if she didn't take care of it, he'd just cook it for dinner. Jordyn didn't think this was too funny! I thought it was hilarious!

So Micah and I took her down to the pet store to get one. She picked out a gray Netherlands Dwarf Rabbit. She promptly named it Killah. (Alex thought this was hilarious)
After the first night and the rabbit escaping his cage about 20 times and hiding in her room Jordyn changed the name to Houdini.

Jordyn takes Houdini everywhere with her and actually bought him a carrier and a leash (yes they make a rabbit leash) It's pretty cute.

And yes the rabbit actually lays like that while Jordyn clips it's nails. :)

Tadlock Pipe and Rentals

I spend 40 hours a week at Tadlock Pipe. Sometimes more sometimes less.

I have the best coworkers, who are always there for me when I need them. And some of them who argue with me like family! (you know who you are!)

So here they are:

This is everyone eating lunch at Mazen's. Our favorite place to eat! We try to talk them in to taking us all the time.

A Blog

So I've started a blog.

What is a blog anyway?

The Web definition of a blog is "a shared on-line journal where people can post diary entries about their personal experiences and hobbies; "postings on a blog are usually in chronological order"

Wow! An on-line diary? When I was a kid I had a diary with a lock on it. I would write in it and lock it up for no one to ever see. Now I'm writing on the internet for the whole world to see! Times sure have changed. But this seems different. When I wrote in my diary I knew that no one was reading it, so I wrote what ever I wanted to. Now that I'm writing knowing everyone can read it, what will I write? Do you pour your heart out and let all your thoughts and feelings be laid out for the world to see? Do you write it all down and then backspace it all out realizing that you don't want the world to know that you were even thinking that?

When Anne Frank kept her diary she poured out all her thoughts and feelings thinking that no one would ever read them. She probably thought that no one would even be interested in what she was writing. Now her diary is a best selling book that has been translated into 60 different languages, and made into movies. If she knew that the world would have peeked into her life so personally would she have wrote down anything differently. Would she have kept her secrets inside herself or would she have shared them with the world openly?

As I begin my blog I have that to think about that. Do I share my thoughts freely or do I just share what I want people to know. Do I write about day to day life, or do I write about what I'm feeling? I guess only time will tell how much I want to share, or if anyone is even interested in what I have to say. Lord knows I have an opinion on just about everything, so there will be much to say!
