I don't have to work tomorrow! Well, today I guess since it's 1am. I'm pretty excited. And I don't really have anything to do - I already grocery shopped, and most of the cleaning/laundry is done - so I'm really looking forward to a whole day of doing whatever I please! It sounds like it is supposed to be another beautiful day tomorrow so I am thinking a bike ride or walk outside is in order.
Anyways...I just had a few things pop up in my brain while trying to sleep and thought I'd share. Because I know you are all dying to know what I think about at this odd time.... :)
- Extreme Couponers.
- I don't know if you've seen the show on TLC called 'Extreme Couponing' but it sparked my attention. I have recently become an avid coupon clipper and shopper, but I had no idea people could take it to this level. I thought I was bad because I have toilet paper, shampoo/conditioner and soap to last us 3 months or so...but after watching this, I don't even hold a candle to these nut jobs! This one lady has 7 kids and calls them her 'litter'. Don't have that many kids if you think it qualifies enough to be a 'litter'. Also, what do you need 10 years of soap, paper towel, toilet paper, soup, and cereal for?! Do you plan on the world ending soon and all grocery stores closing? In that case, your food is useless because we will all die anyways. Instead you have a house that is overflowing with food (this one lady is literally taking over her house with her 'stockpile' - it is everywhere!) and other supplies you will most likely never use all of...therefore you are being wasteful and in the end, not really saving any money since you are probably going to have to throw away at least half of it, therefore...throwing away money, which you were trying to avoid in the first place. Hmmm....
- Rottweilers and Chihuahua's.
- They are so overrated. Seriously. EVERYONE around here has a rottweiler or chihuahua, or both. Josh says that is directly related to the ethnicity of the majority of people around us, and I would have to agree based on the people bringing these animals into the vet. Just because you have a rottweiler (or pit bull for that matter) doesn't make you a bada**, and doesn't make me afraid of you or your dog. And all you chihuahua owners out there...your dog looks like a naked rat and fits in a bag. What is adorable about that? Nothing! So be a little more original and get a little less popular dog breed that doesn't come with such a stigma. Thanks so much.
- String cheese.
- I love it. It is seriuosly the best snack ever and I often find myself craving it at odd times. Like right now. Not just cheese. String cheese. It's fabulous! This is weird because I'm not a huge fan of cheese other than string cheese. Unless it's on pizza or something like that.
- The Royal Wedding Buzz.
- Seriously. Why are we all soooo intrigued by these people getting married? I don't get it. People are ridiculously obsessed with the details and the countdown. We live in America. We have no connection to these people. Get a grip!
- Reba.
- I'm not really a fan of your music but I looove your cheesy sitcom! I can't get enough of it. You and Barbara Jean, you crack me up like none other! Gotta love good, clean family TV! Only bad thing is it's only on at weird times. Like now.
Alrighty well I guess that is all for now. Time to go get Josh's ref clothes out of the washer and hang them up. And find some string cheese! :)
I agree with the couponers thing~~how ridiculous & wasteful! And the dogs.....and the wedding buzz~~~get a life people!!
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy your day off!!!
Love,
mom
That coupon show in intense! I can't handle it...It's funny that you mentioned that episode because it's the only one I've actually sat down and watched. I just barley made it through the episode. I agree that the people they focus on are actually, in a way very wasteful. How is a family of 4 going to eat 10 boxes of cereal before it expires? Especially considering you probably have a massive stock of other foods as well. You may have only paid 39 cents for that precious box of cereal, but maybe (just maybe) if you're not going to be able to use it yourself and you still have this compulsion to by these things, you could give them to charity or a food pantry. Holy Hannah. Also - you do not need 3 years worth of toilet paper hiding under your youngest son's bed. CrayCray!
ReplyDeleteAs for the royal wedding...I just feel bad for them. Especially Kate. She's already being ridiculed about every miniscule thing she does. She's too fat, she's too this, she's too that...It's awful. And you know once they get married every tiny detail will be discussed in full! If I was her I would be like, "Babe - Let's just elope and call it good." Haha...Can you imagine the Prince running away and eloping. That would be amazing...And it would give everyone something real to talk about.
