I like to cut Coupons and it's turning into an Addiction

"Couponing"

It's a little term that I'm becoming obsessed with.  I used to just cut the coupons out of the Sunday paper.  Then I saw an episode of Extreme Couponing and immediately got on the computer and signed up for every website possible that has coupons.

Then I realized that I spend almost 2 hours doing this and it was way late and I needed to get some sleep (for more couponing to commence tomorrow).  I know, it is embarrassing and I am made fun of for it.

I have a friend at work and she is a great saver.  So her and I got to talking and we shared some coupon websites and ways to shop and save.

I'm pretty sure you know you're old when thinking about cutting coupons is the conversation at lunch, but I accept it and I will continue to save!

I'll keep you updated on the savings.  Only 2 more work days this week!!

Good thing I was alone...

I woke up this morning and was looking forward to enjoying the day off work, going out for the afternoon and shopping while the sun was shining.

Then I woke up in the real world (Cleveland in the spring time) and it was cold and rainy...again.  But I still had the day off, had some great coupons and knew of a few good sales.  So I put on my scarf and jacket and trudged out in the rain.

I made my first stop at Old Navy where I had a 50% off coupon for anything in the store!  After an hour of shopping and looking through the store at least 3 times to make sure I did not miss anything that I just had to have for this summer, I finally left.

I walked out to my car.  I pressed the unlock key and it wasn't working.  So I pressed it again and of course pulled harder on the door, as if that would actually help.  Then I noticed that someone had put some bags on my passenger seat that did not belong to me (how did that happen???)  Oh yea, it took me until then to realize I wasn't trying to get into my car...it was some other car!!!!

In my defense, it was my car, same color same style basically the same car.  So there I was walking away hoping no one was watching me like an idiot.  And then I found my car, right next to the one I was trying to get into!  So I told myself that it really wasn't my fault.  Someone parked right next to me in the same exact car and I couldn't even see my car because theirs was in the way.

I drove away laughing at myself because what else do you do when you do something that dumb?

I continued shopping in the rain and made sure to double check before I attempted to get into any cars the rest of the day.

Zumba on Steroids

Over the last few months I have had the wonderful opportunity to help coach my high schools cheer team.  I hadn't been back since I graduated and I had such a great time with the team.

Last night was our last practice and one of the mom's decided as a little goodbye she was going to bring her Zumba instructor to practice so we could have a little session with him.  Imagine...two men from Trinidad, who have been doing Zumba for years, and have more spunk and energy than the entire cheer team put together.

It was awesome and we all had a great time.  To bad I can barely lift my arms today.
