I HIT THE COUPON JACKPOT :)

Yesterday, started out as a pretty good day for me. I went to the grocery store to pick up my WIC.  Chatted with my cousin Melissa for a while. Then, I went to the post office to pick up my mail. I had 3 envelopes from coupon swaps waiting on me. I received one 30 coupon train from the train I conduct *BIG SMILE*! A 40 Food only coupon train and my partner from the last coupon train on yahoo sent me an envie with 248 coupons!!! I bet her binder is awesome :) All I can say is "THANKS MELANIE" The minimum to send is 30. I thought I was hooking my partner up sending her 50, but my girl Melanie really hooked me up!! I was like a kid in the candy store.

I started thinking about the sales paper I browsed through earlier that morning. Our Harvey's has Kraft Mayo on sale this week 2/$4 and I have two coupons for $1.50 off. I can get 2 Kraft Mayo's for $1.00, NOW THAT'S WHAT'S UP!! I also received two $2.00 of Domino Sugar (4lb. bag) w/ the purchase of 10 pks of Kool-Aid. Our Harvey's has Kool-Aid on sale 10/$1.00 (no limit) & I have a coupon Buy 10 Kool-Aid Packs get 2 FREE. Can't wait to see what other's I can use! SAVE, SAVE, SAVE!!

I found some great coupons amongst them all. I can say I had a great coupon day :)

My Bucket List

I just completed the Bucket list swap on Swap-Bot and thought I would share my list with you all! Just so you know Kelin (Ke) is my son. I have been working on my Bucket list for about a year now. Of course I could not share all of the items on my list some of them are kind of personal. The items listed are not in any order, I just grab my notebook and write the idea as they come to me. Sometimes I have them wrote on a post it and add them later. I was thrilled to see a swap like this otherwise, I would have never admitted I had a list, lol!

Here is my list:

1. Visit as many states as possible.
2. COMPLETE, not just start a scrapbook (not album).
3. Purchase my own house.
4. Plant a garden (I was a teenager the last time I planted a garden).
5. Get a degree!
6. Have a bake sale.
7. Go to a garage sale.
8. Take Kelin apple picking.

14. Take Ke to the Crayola Factory.
15. Take Ke to the Jelly Belly Factory.
16. Go on a road trip :)
17. Take Kelin to Carowinds (Theme park). I use to go there every summer w/ my aunt and her family as a teenager, it was so fun! My cousin and I always got to go back the 2nd day by ourselves, it was great!! They add new stuff every year. I bet that place is huge now, it's been 11 years since I been.
18. Get CPR and First Aid Certified.
19. Take Ke to Disney World.
20. Visit the Chocolate Show in New York in November.
21. Go to Sea World.

23. Eat at the Lady and Sons in Savannah, GA (Paula Deen's Restaurant, make a reservation I hear the wait is forever)
24. Start trying new recipes so I can continue typing and complete my family cookbook (heirloom).
25. Create a great coupon binder!!
26. Learn to SAVE BIG using coupons like the people I read about :)
27. Continue to lose weight 30 lb goal for this year! I CAN DO IT!!!
28. Have a interesting blog with lots of followers that leaves tons of comments and great input :)

 Thanks for reading my bucket list, I hope you enjoyed it :)

PC MYSTERY

On June 14, 2010 the day started out great! I sorted and organized my coupons using my new system and even cut recipes out of a few magazines. I separated all of my coupons into the categories for my swaps I recently blogged about in my post Coupons & Swap-Bot.com. I even trimmed up all of the ones I received from my other swaps and trains. So when I send out my coupons they will be all nice and neat :)

I read the first 4 chapters in my book. So far so good! It still has my attention so that's a very good thing. I think I'm going to like it. I just have to find more time to read!! I let my son play outside in the yard while I read most of it. It was awesome, but the rain has been keeping us inside lately.

After getting my son off to sleep. I felt great and wanted to blog about my day and tell how productive I was! I tried to log on to the net, but a message popped up! I thought I had a virus because it said: "POTENTIALLY UNWANTED ACTIVITIES" I clicked the the button to remove it but it just kept popping back up and would not stop. Since I could not get it off I called my great hardware protection team to do a virus check. I stayed on hold for what seemed to be an eternity, but really ended up being 49 minutes before I actually spoke with a service rep.

I did make the most of my time! While I was waiting I pulled out my envie labeled coupons to be sorted. These are coupons  I keep from swaps, trains, newspapers, etc. I trimmed them up nice and neatly and sorted them by date. I have been planning to make a list of all coupons I have including the expiration dates, but I did not make it that far. Guess I will save it for another day. I can say it was time well spent waiting because I got to watch Law & Order: SVU as I waited also. I love that show.

When the rep FINALLY answered my call and after we tried all kind of tricks to get a connection. We discovered that my anti virus system deleted my nic card info. while doing a virus sweep. He said there must have been a virus connected to the information so the scan deleted it during a clean up. Bad thing about the situation was, I had my nic card replaced and the guy did not give me a disk containing the info. So I was out of luck :( But the problem is resolved now so all is well :) I'm free to blog and finally get caught up. At least I was writing my ideas down.

Reading List

Okay so I'm still up! It's crazy I don't write an entry for almost a month and now 3 in one night, WOOO WHOO I'M ON A ROLL!!!! Anywho, I was checking my email and I received an email from my good friend Michelle, it was an invite to a site I had been repeatedly hearing about. So of course I signed up on yet another site because I had been hearing about it. I can always delete it if I don't like it. Well, it has a section for a reading list!! My goal was to start back reading this summer. My son is in the Summer Reading Program at the Library and I joined the Adult and Teen group as well. I remember a time when I could always be caught with a book in my hand, I'm not quite sure what happened. But I plan to start back reading again.

Sex In The Sanctuary by Lutishia Lovely was a book I read March 2010 and it was FANTASTIC!!! I would DEFINITELY RECOMMEND this book to anyone that is looking for a good down to earth drama! This book talks about things that actually happens in real life and does not sugar coat it, lol! I can't make quotes because the best parts are the parts I don't want to give away. But there is a crazy lady in the book, relationship and marriage problems, gossip and nosey old ladies, lmbo! I will be reading the others in the collection for sure.

The next book I read was a great one too. It was kind of shocking. It was recommended by so many people. So I gave it a chance even though I was iffy about it:

The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd  I also read this book in March 2010. I LOVED IT!! This is another book I would DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!! I tried to watch the movie before and could not get into it. But reading the book I understand exactly why everyone was casted for their parts, they fit them perfectly. This book was so heartwarming and Divine. I would really love to see the movie now.

The next book would have to be a do over for me:

All She Ever Wanted by Lynn Austin was the last book I read. I read this book in April 2010. The reason for the do over is that I did not get to finish this book :( I liked it but because it was confusing at times, I would say it depends on the other persons taste and reading style rather or not they would like it. I would recommend it to a friend but not to a stranger they would think I was crazy! There were times when I had to flip back to see who a person was. At the beginning I did not understand why the chapters were the way they were but as the book went on it was easier to follow. I would definitely like to read it over and finish it this time.

Hometown Favorite: A Novel by Bill Barton & Henry O. Arnold is the book that I will begin reading tomorrow!! I purchased this book at the Dollar Tree for $1.00, lucky me because this book is advertised between $13.99 and $11.99. I'm not sure how good it is but it has a 4.4 out of 5 star rating and the description sounds really interesting. It is foreword by Chris Sanders former wide receiver for the Tennessee Titans. Sounds interesting, guest I will see what it is all about tomorrow. Until next time.

Coupons & Swap-Bot.com

I need to sort through my coupons. I have a new way of organizing the coupons I am trading and need to get it completed, I keep starting and stopping. I am hosting like 8 coupon swaps on Swap-bot. So I am sorting them by swap category as well, only for the coupon specific ones. The first two I hosted went well, their on their second round. They have more people this time which is a major plus. I have also added a few specific coupon swaps so I can better my coupon binder! Some examples are BXGX OR JUST FREE COUPON SWAP, $1.00 OFF COUPON SWAP, $1.50 OFF COUPON SWAP, $2.00 OR HIGHER COUPON SWAP AND $4.00 OR HIGHER COUPON SWAP. 

I am hoping that these specific coupon swaps will help me build a better binder by helping me find coupons of higher value. After all that is the real reason we are clipping coupons right?? So far I have members signed up for all of the swaps except for the $4.00 or higher. But there is still time the deadline is not here yet. All participants are asked to create a coupon wishlist section for their profile to help their partner find more of the coupons they can use. I plan to continue with these swaps and do them as a monthly swap on swap-bot, so if your a member look them or me up. I'm QUEENQUISA on Swap-bot!

BUSY, BUSY,BUSY!!

WOW!!! I can not believe it has been almost a whole month since I have written an entry in my blog. Like I really need to do better, lol! I have been so busy. I plan to write all about it and catch up though :) I mean it all happened at once my son's last day of school was his birthday. His party was that weekend. The summer reading program began. My cousin's boyfriend was killed! I had to go give emotional support and come back waaayyyy too early. I know she still needs me, but I have a ton of things to do. I don't understand I thought you were suppose to chill in the summer. Instead I am busier than I was when my son was in school, maybe it's because I have him all day. I said that boy was a busy body, lol!
Well, I will just start w/ my day today. Today has been a crazy one! It has been extremely hot in South GA for some reason! Well, it stormed so that may have been it. My son and I went for a little daily outing. We went to our Friendly Express to order a pizza and while I was there I was able to use a coupon :) You know using a coupon is always a plus!! Well, I usually get my 2 - 12 pk of sodas from Flash Foods, but they were $7.99 and Friendly Express had them for $5.99. My coupon was buy a 12 pk of Coke and a 12 pk of Sprite or Sprite Zero and get $1.50 off. Hey that was a good deal 2 - 12pks for $4.49 now dats what's up! Good thing about it is I have 2 more of those coupons :) I'm loving my coupon train! Well, after we gathered our pizza and sodas (mine, he drank juice) we went to get the mail. The storm started after we made it home :( the lights went out so we played quiet games after eating. Now he's fast asleep :) and I'm playing on the net as usual!
