Some days are just weird....

So last night I had a dream that my car was stolen and we were thinking of getting a smart car.
In my dream we were at the dealer, seeing how many grocery bags I could fit into it, etc.

Then after I woke up, hubby turned on the news and it was talking about the smart cars and crash tests. weird.

Then at work one of my co-workers sent me an email with a link to an article on CNN regarding smart cars. weird.

I really hope my car doesn't get stolen. haha!

Need a good laugh?

Check out this post from Gwendomama. I came across it a couple of days ago and couldn't stop laughing. I went to it again today because I needed a pick-me-up...and I'm still laughing.

Friday's Feast One Hundred and Ninety

Appetizer
When someone smiles at you, do you smile back?

I do, I can't help it, it's automatic, isn't it like that for everyone?

Soup
Describe the flooring in your home. Do you have carpet, hardwood, vinyl, a mix?

We have a mix. Currently almost every room is carpeted except bathrooms and kitchen and entryway. The master bathroom is marble. The two other bathrooms are, um, wow, I can't remember. Seriously, I've been living there for a couple weeks now, you would think I would know. I admit I don't really use those bathrooms, but still. The entry way is marble also. The kitchen was tile, nasty color, but we ripped that up last weekend. Currently it is the vinyl that was on the floor before they previous owners installed the tile.

We plan to put a laminate floor down in the kitchen, dining room, entry way, and library. The flooring is ordered...stay tuned for pictures.

Salad
Write a sentence with only 5 words, but all of the words have to start with the first letter of your first name.

Wow - that's hard - is there even a verb that starts with a "k"? I can't think of anything here.

Main Course
Do you know anyone whose life has been touched by adoption?

I know a couple who has adopted two children from Russia, however I don't really "know" them that well.

Dessert
Name 2 blue things.

My post-it tags are a medium blue and the center of my coiffured ceiling is a light blue.

Friday Fill-In #71

1. The relationship had an extra secret ingredient; it was good communication!
2. I can hear the stupid frogs in my pool all night long through my window.
3. Right now, I need some more friends so somebody calls my cell phone so I can hear my Harry Potter ringtone. haha!
4. Grocery shopping at Shop N save is where I went Thursday night; it was worth the trip to save at least $10.
5. Why does my back hurt so much?
6. All I can think of is the job interview I had yesterday and if I got the job.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to relaxing and hopefully not doing anything around the house (yeah right), tomorrow my plans include probably doing something to the kitchen and a graduation party and Sunday, I want to do nothing but will probably work on the kitchen and I assume see the in-laws for Mother's day (my Mom is out of town)!

More coupon savings...

I know I know...even more savings....or you could be thinking...even more shopping...I prefer to think about it as more savings. haha!

Stopped by Borders today to get #2 book in the Skulduggery Pleasant series, Playing with Fire. I had $15 in rewards points. woohoo! I used a 30% off coupon and basically ended up getting that book for free. Since I would have rewards points left over, I went ahead and bought another book, but paid full price for that one. I wont' count the rewards points, just the discount with the coupon. So for this I ended up saving $5.10

I went grocery shopping tonight and ended up saving $$15.42 by using coupons.

Also, over the weekend we bought a new duvet cover and ended up saving $8 by using a coupon.
