O.P.I

I am attempting to get into couponing and I found that ordering a subscription cost $2.15 but I found out I can purchase a Sunday paper at Walmart on Saturday night for only $2! Not only can I get it early BUT it is CHEAPER and couponing is all about saving money so I think that was my first step.
My second step was going through it and getting out the adds and SmartSource and Red Plum.
Next is looking through everything and cutting out the stuff that I already purchase (I am not going to buy stuff just cause it is cheap FOR EXAMPLE:: If I don't already buy chips all the time and I get a coupon for 55C off one bag and I go out and spend 10$ on chips.... I am not saving money).

And now I have to share on of the coupons with you!!  There is a brand of nail polish that I like a lot and it is called O.P.I..  They have another brand that they make and IT is called Nicole (of course it is on there like a signature with a stick above the O cause that is the only cool way to do it).


Did you notice that is J.B. (I do not promote him)??  Is it not enough that he looks like a girl and that he says he looks like a girl?? Now he needs to advertise girly products??  (gotta give him a little credit though cause he is pretty ;))

**I will be using the coupon cause I do like this brand and I need a new color for summer

Haggis???

 GoodLooking went to Scotland on a mission a LONG LONG LONG time ago... like all the way back when I was still in High School.
 He usually pops out of photo frames.



Pretty soon, he gets to take me to his mission.  I am pretty excited about it but it still doesn't feel like I am actually going across the ocean.  It will be fun to see where he was and hopefully meet some of the people he knew while he was there.

Yay Smalls

Smalls got to come visit us at the small fee of getting an interview with the same company GoodLooking works for.  We really enjoyed getting to play with her.




I can be kind of a weirdY sometimes
Unfortunately, she didn't get the internship but there is still hope for next year..... IF we are still here.

We Painted The Dining Room

I decided that if we are going to renew our lease, we are going to decorate.  This was the first project.
Before
 GoodLooking really wanted to do black in the dining room and I was really scared of it.  The idea of having any color on the wall is not really a {insert maiden name} thing to do but BLACK????  I know that GoodLooking has really good taste in what looks good so I trusted him on it and we purchased the paint.
Action Shot

 This little table used to be the base for our micro HUGEwave (it really is very large... we inherited both so we don't complain)
Me thinking about what I had just done

Painted the little table.
 I wanted to just get rid of it and get a little hutch or something to put dishes and games in (we play games at the dinner table all the time so they just end up sitting on the table and a little hutch would solve that problem) BUT I liked the way it turned out and we are going to be good about putting games away when we are done with them even if it means walking all the way through the living room to the closet.

 We picked up some goodies from my favorite decorating store (if you can name what it is, you get major props)
FINISHED PROJECT
With the shopping and actual work, it only took us a whopping combined total of maybe 3 hours (it takes a long time to get in and out of my favorite decorating store)  I really like the way it turned out except that the way the walls are textured, the tape didn't stick very well around the edges and now I have to find some yuckyellow paint that matches the surrounding walls.

Practice

This is Twinkles
She sat still really well for me to put these three pony tails in her hair and she left them there for quite a while.

This may be one reason why I don't have children yet ;)
