Trying to get better organized

After buying 4 more bottles of laundry soap today, Greg pointed out that I already had bottles in HIS room. (That's his way of saying between stockpile and yard sale stuff he was getting crowded) So I got thinking I have bottles in the shed, bottles under the bathroom sink, in the cupboard in the kitchen and in Greg's room. Perhaps I could find one place to put them in. I appropriated the bottom shelf of the linen closet. 11 bottles and 1 packet of Purex sheets. The most I paid for any of them is $2.50 - I can't make it (if I had the ingredients and pans) for much cheaper than that.

I also cleaned out the closet and found more stuff for the yard sale. But sorry to say I need sheets - only have 2 sets!!!

Blessings and thank you for reading.

It was only 7:30 am!!!!

Some people are aware that I am not a morning person. I can get up early but really life does not willingly begin until about 9 am.

Well someone forgot to tell the farmer who's fields we live next too. Guess who was plowing the field today? I must admit the tractor was fairly quiet, jut loud enough to wake me but not really too rude.

First Garden report for 2010

Wow we added more space to the garden this year. With the exception of some peas and green beans everything is planted and growing. The total is 14 tomato plants (2 in small pots), 12 broccoli plants, 9 cabbage, 5 watermelon, 16 or is 17 garlic, crowder peas are in, 4 leafy lettuce, 4 cucumbers, 2 lavender (and man do they smell good), a pot of spinach, 4 collard greens and a pot of chives. I do want to pot more herbs for potpourri and a pot of parsley.

Stay tuned throughout the summer for updates.

Product review

First I have to state that I am a BZZAgent. I am sent products to try and to talk about and I get not only free products but awards for telling everyone about them.

My latest product is Covergirl with Olay Simply Ageless products. I was sent foundation (in the wrong color), eye corrector (also wrong color), cream blush and concealer. I tried the blush and the concealer and really like the texture of them.

In th epictures you can see my eye. See right under it in the lash line is a freckle. I thought that would be the perfect test - will the concealer cover it? The answer is no BUT I admit it is a really dark freckle. I tried it on the back of my hand to cover some lighter freckles and it worked wonderfully there.

The blush is a nice rich feeling and really nice for some severely dry skin I have there.

So my verdict is great stuff!!!

Freebies from the grocery store

After couponing for 11 years I have seen many things. Like the years of reading ads asking for free coupons so someone could have a free shopping trip. I personally have never done that but it did sound curious. Well yesterday I gathered all my free item coupons - just to get them out of my hair before I lost them. Should have seen me walking around Kroger binder on the cart, pink glasses perched on my nose, holding coupons in one hand and my shopping list in the other. Not to mention that I was damp and severely windblown.

I got with my free coupons:
Oscar Meyer select hot dogs - holy smokes these cost $4.49 for 10!!! They were on sale at 2 for $5.
Bulls eye BBQ sauce
Doz large eggs (Kroger coupon from last mailing)
Yo-crunch yogurt (catalina coupon)
Kraft cheese explosion mac & cheese

then I also got free a 1 pad of U by Kotex in a metal holder. I think this holder will be a nice addition to my purse (know what I mean?) Get this last week they sold at Giant Eagle for $1.99. Free after coupon but I'm still kicking myself for paying that original price!!!!

I still have 1 catalina for a free can of cat food. I held off since his royal highness is not eating his canned food.

it was fun watching the coupons all come off the total and seeing free coupon ont he tape.
