Rascal Flatts "I Won't Let Go"

Okay so Im not much of a Country Music Fan, or whatever type of music this is called. But I love this song. It has a lot of meaning. As in my boyfriend, Paul and I have been together for over 8 years now. And we have been through a lot. Since we were pretty young when we first got together. I think this past year we have both done a lot of growing up and maturing together. We have had our ups and downs, as all relationships do. We have split up many times most of the times were for short periods of times. The last time it was for a few months, and that made me realize how much I love him and I want to be with him. And I really hope that was his eye opener too. (He will probably want to kill me if he knew I was posting about this. LOL) But I truly love him and I want our love to continue to grow. I hope he doesnt get embarrassed that I have posted this over the internet. Because Im not embarrassed to let the entire world know. :) Nothing wrong with that right? Nope.. I didnt think so. :)
(Note I did want to add the picture of Paul and I from 2003 when we first met, but I couldnt get it on here)

A Post About My Finger Nails. (LOL)

So yea this is a real post about my fingernails, I even have a picture of them to share. I am just amazed by how fast they grow. Well since I do not work, that probably helps them grow faster, and I cant remember the last time I actually broke a nail. I really do need to clip them soon, or I will be jinxing myself and they will all end up breaking.
Okay so the reason I decided to talk about my nails.. When I was a little kid, and probably all the way up until I was a 9th or 10th grader I would pick and peel my nails all the time. I would never use the nail clippers. I was never one to bite my nails. I found that disgusting, and as I got older, Im glad I didnt since I found out that is the dirtiest place on your body. Ewww. Anyway. I would constantly pick and peel at them everyday. It wasnt a nervous thing or anything like that, I just didnt like to have any "white" showing. They never looked nice at all. And I was always told I would never have nice looking nails. But as you can see, they do grow okay.
LOL I really dont have any logic for this post. I just needed to get a post up here since I have been slacking off. So I guess... Enjoy. :)

I probably should have polished my nails for all of you to see. But I dont ever do that. Maybe next time. ;)

To Be A Kid Again...

Her exact words, "Look Mom, I am a Monster Cooker". I laughed to myself and thought, whatever a "Monster Cooker" is? She must have heard me, because she told me all about it. The Monster Cookers, are Cooks, but scary looking ones that keep all the bad people away. They don't make very tasty food, but people come from all over Indiana just to see them. The people don't even finish their food because it tastes so bad. She goes on and on about this. Yes it was a great laugh. Because the people are only coming from Indiana to see them, and I have yet to ever see one of these "Monster Cookers" as she calls them. But I guess Im just not looking in the right places.
I hope my kids keep going with their imaginations. They have no worries or a care in the world. I remember when I was a kid and couldn't wait to become a "grownup" Man alive, what was I thinking? Now there are responsibilities, BIG responsibilities at that. Bills... Many worries that come along with being an adult. And Ive heard both my kids tell me they can't wait to be an adult so they can move out, or do this and that.. I tell them, No you don't want to. You don't understand, be a kid for as long as you can. (Im not saying they can live with me until they are 30.) But have fun. Use that imagination and play. That is your purpose right now. And before I know it, they won't be little anymore. :(

Kroger Trip 8/8/11

Today's Kroger Trip wasn't the greatest, but I've had worse. I wasn't planning on getting too much. So I stayed with that idea for the most part.
I spent $11.00 and saved $15.68 a savings of 58%.
Kroger Buns $1.00
Pepperidge Farm Goldfish Sandwich Bread $3.49 used $1.00 off Coupon $2.49
(2) Yoplait Light Yogurt $1.88 each used (2) $1.00 off coupons .88 each
(2) Heluva Good Dips $1.79 each used (2) .75 off coupons $1.04 each
Prairie Farms French Onion Dip $3.19 used .35 off coupon tripled to $1.05 $2.14
(2) Kroger Shredded Cheese $1.77 each used .50 off 2 store coupon $1.52 each
Klondike Bars $2.99 used $1.50 ecoupon $1.49
So again it wasn't the best savings, but I am happy with what I got. :)

SKECHERS Shape-Ups (Review)

I use to be a straight up Nike wearing girl. I've worn Nike for many, many years. That was until I found Skechers Shape-ups. They are amazing. They are very comfortable. And you can actually feel them working the first time you put them on and start walking. It's a great feeling. The picture is the exact pair I have. Well one of the pairs I have. I own two pairs. You can purchase this kind from for around $90.00... But if you shop around you may find them on sale. :) They are definitely worth the money and a great investment to help you shape up your legs, and tone your muscles. I give these shoes a 5/5 stars. I have had my pair for over 8 months now, and they are holding up really good.I am so pleased with them. These shoes are nice because they do come in wide width. Also they are available all the way up to a size 12. I have really big feet so that is a plus for me. Have I mentioned how awesome these shoes are? If not... They are awesome! I'm so glad I found them and was able to try them out.

What Is Your Best Grocery Shopping Trip?

My all time best grocery shopping trip took place last year. November 4, 2010 to be exact. And of course it was at Kroger. That is my favorite place to shop. My only other option is Wal-Mart. And I do not like shopping there. I have noticed they have jacked up the prices. Atleast at Kroger they triple my coupons up to .50 so that helps a lot. The only time I will shop at Wal-Mart is if I want to do an ad match or I know I can get something cheaper there. Anyway here is a picture of my best grocery shopping trip. That was an excellent day and I left the store with a "coupon high" like no other. LOL..

I only spent a total of $7.00 for all of this. I saved $125.63! Such a great feeling.

So here is my question to all of you guys.... What is your best grocery shopping trip? Where did it take place? And how much did you spend/save?
