Super Powers

Superman can fly, Spiderman can climb walls and Batman drives a cool car. My super power? Coupons. Yeah baby, I see your green with jealousy just like the hulk. Ok, the Hulk is not green because he is jealous, he is green because...why IS he green again?

Today's deals:

Colgate: normally $1.95 on sale for $1. Coupon for 50 cents the doubles to $1= Free Toothpaste
Herbal Essence (big bottle): normally $5.95 Clarence for $3.50 coupon for $1 off= $2.50
Paper towels (6 pack): normally $8.00 on sale for $5.99 with $1 coupon= 4.99 or less than a dollar a roll.
Mascara: normally $4.80 on sale for 2.88 with a 50 cent coupon that doubles to $1= $1.88

I saved $10 in coupons today, I saved $35 in "card savings" by shopping sales. This is the best way to get stuff to donate to the food pantry because really, who needs 10 tubes of toothpaste sitting around. I think I will make myself a cape to wear to the store, maybe it will inspire others to seek out there inner coupon super hero.

Working on my Domestic Goddess Badge

I looked at the to-do list I made last week and am happy to say I can cross off almost everything on it. It only took me 2 weeks. I think I either need smaller lists or more time. Here is what I have been up to: -I have made 2 loaves of banana oat bread, 1 batch of blackberry strawberry freezer jam, 1 loaf of gluten free bread. -From 12 juiced grapefruit I made grapefruit curd and a pan of grapefruit bars. -My garden is almost completely done, including a upgrade in size. I am growing tomatoes, onions, peppers, potatoes , cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower , herbs, lettuce, spinach , green beans, snap peas, cucumbers, and kohlrabi. -I hung herbs to dry -I have folded massive amounts of laundry...with more yet to do. All washed with my homemade laundry soap. -I recovered the "green monster" which is another post entirely. -I added a sitting area in my bedroom, where I am currently sitting, so that my laptop has a home other than the kitchen table. - I got a new dining room table a...

Blogging

So I have lost the love of blogging. I have always believed it is a narcissistic pass time, yet enjoy it anyway. I have found I easily spend entirely too much time tied to my computer. By the time I check Facebook , e-mail, friends blogs, etc I can easily waste an hour, if not two, of time. A friend of mine just blogged about the same thing. Yes, I get the irony of a blog post about not blog posting, but alas, here it is: I just read a good friends blog about my blog. A great leader here in Boulder, Kevin Colon wrote this: “Hugh moved to Denver to do a training deal for an organization and he ended up starting a church. His blogging is not incredibly frequent but when he does blog….it’s good!” Now, while I’m humbled that a man like Kevin would even want to read my blog, I figured it was a good time to state once and for all why I only post once or twice a month. Simply this……..”I prefer to spend my time with people.” I’ ve always wondered how people have time to read blogs, let alo...
