The Sun is Shining Through my Window!

Good morning!! Today the sun is shining through my window at work. That's a good reason to feel grateful for being here this early. It's 7:30 am, and I am here early because my lunch will probably be longer than one hour today.

Lots of things to be grateful for today:

The orthodontist bill is almost paid off!

I paid the dermatologist in full!

My son has a job, and is doing good!

I am learning to set some boundaries people, but it is a slow process!

I was the only one not drinking at the party the other night.....and I felt sociable, active, and alive....vs the alternative of being silly, tired, and plain drunk!

I have money in my wallet and I know mostly where it is going!

I bought 8 bags of steam fresh vegetables with coupons for .50 each - they go for $2.49 usually.

Lastly, I am grateful for apples that taste good right now!

That's all for now!

Early Trip to CVS 9/7/08

I was very very organized today. Because I went out early, I was able to get everything that I wanted.
At CVS:
1 Arnicare Pain Lotion with 2.00 off coupon available here- 7.49, with 8.00 ECB's
Next transaction:
2 Soft and Dri
1 chex mix coupon available here
4 Progresso Soups
2 lady Speed Stick
I had coupons for the above, plus 8.00 ECB from the Arnicare sale, and spent $3.42 on the second transaction.
I saved $25.96!
I did receive $4.00 ECB from the deodorant, which I forgot about, and will use on my next shopping trip! Very productive for me, and I am still kind of new at this!
