Note To Self:

My addiction with FREE stuff, coupons and deals is getting slightly Obsessive!

I have not been eating to much junk or fattening foods (still little to no soda, or sugar & I've lost 13 lbs... it's kinda nice). Today I had a downfall and ate some Mac & Cheese (Extreme Cheese Explosion...it was free) and it was disgusting, I can't believe I just ate that! Don't buy it, it taste like preservatives or chemicals or something not good!

Anyway just had to get that off my chest... maybe I will go get it out of my stomach while I am at it :)!

Update time...

So many things have happened since my last update I guess its time to get it out there.

- Just between friends was ok. We were a little disappointed, I got to CDA to pick up my tickets I had won and found out I had presale passes (which is when all the "good" stuff is there). We did end up finding some good stuff, including a little tux for drew. There is another sale @ the Kootenai County Fairgrounds May 15-16. The best part... there are so many options all in one location, you make some money and you get in to the presale. Check out the website for directions on how to sign up. http://nidaho.jbfsale.com/

- I have officially changed what I eat! 3+ weeks ago I quit eating junk food, fast food, "sweet treats" (and very little sugar), and the biggest to me... NO SODA!! I am a Diet Pepsi addict. I have replaced my soda with more water, and unsweetened ice tea. I feel amazingly better... and have no more cravings. (I have even tested myself and it doesn't even taste good anymore.)

- I starting to lose weight and I love it! Although My hips hurt for 2 days, guess it's bound to happen when you go from little to no exercise to 3 miles a day! I have to work up to 8 miles in the next week and a half (Bloomsday in May 2 & Mike is doing it for the 1st time ever!)

- It's wedding season... And I decided (with much encouragment from ppl) to start a Wedding Coordinator business (No website/blog as of right now). After just 2 days of running an ad on Craigslist I have my 1st client. She is from here, currently living in Seattle and getting married in Elk. I'm very excited to start this, it's something I have wanted to do for many years. Plus its a good source for some extra cash :)

- I'm so excited for sunday! I'm going to be working on a mothers day project with the kids. I have several none mothers coming in to help. (please try to be there sunday, as I will be gone the following sunday [bloomsday] and the following sunday after that is mothers day & we will need to complete them then!) Thanks for your cooperation :)

- It's pretty sad, but my secret mother has not heard anything from her horrible daughter (me). You know it's bad when she gives me stationary and envelopes :). Guess I should work on writing back.

- Last week Mike & I took the kids to the Harlem Globetrotters (I won tickets from the radio station). And they had a blast, we bought them all little basketballs and then afterwards we all went down to get autographs. By the time we bought all the basketballs, dinner and mini doughnuts we pretty much paid for our tickets! Oh well the kids enjoyed it! (pictures to come)

- Mike & I working on an official wedding date. Summer is coming very fast, and we are working on finalizing a date, venue and all the other details. Hopefully we can get some of this finalized in the next few weeks.

Just Between Friends

So it's been a while since I updated, It amazes me how fast time flies!

- So Monday was the last Wii bowling @ slates. It sounds completely lame I know, but it was actually pretty fun and since we won we get like $100 or $150 per person.

- On the way to Wii bowling I won $50 from 99.9 Big Coyote Country. They are having a contest and if you are caller 9 & identify the correct voice you win $50. And at the end of all 12 voices you could win $5000.(not that any of that matters but I won $50)

- Tuesday I was driving home from town and they had the same contest on so I called in again thinking I knew who it was. I was wrong, but I won 2 tickets to Just Between Friends & a $25 gift certificate to it.

- So today Dana & I are taking the kids and going to the Spokane Fairgrounds for Just Between Friends (which I had never heard of till I googled it) and I am totally excited!

- For those that don't know- Just Between Friends is a large consignment sale. It is in Spokane this weekend and then going to be at the Kootenai county fairgrounds in may. Check out this website for more information http://spokane.jbfsale.com/
(or Google Just Between Friends)

- Have a great weekend
