Summer and Savings

Reality has finally hit home. DH's paycheck as an intern is going to be, as Dan Rather would say, 'tighter than wet jeans.'

Which got me searching for some frugal lifestyle tips...

Enter the Southern Savers blog!

OMG! This blog is amazing! I have already totally organized my coupon binder and printed out TONS of coupons from the internet. I'm even going to buy 2 Sunday papers!

Did you know there are families out there that feed themselves on about $100 a month!?!??! And no, they aren't strictly vegetarians!

Check this out when you get a chance: http://www.southernsavers.com/

I'm totally psyched! Can't wait to start shopping, er, I mean saving!

Why, oh, why must we wait until November?!??!?

TWILIGHT EVE!!!

T'was the night before Twilight and all through the house, Beach Mama was surfing and moving her mouse.

Blame Stephenie

Okay, I know I was supposed to post a video for your reycled paper purse, and I made the video... But something totally wonky happened to the video when it was downloading from camera to computer and now it is completely messed up. I was so bummed that I haven't been able to bring myself to recreate the thing.

Plus

I saw Stephenie Meyer on Good Morning America.

Where have I been?!

And if you don't know who she is, where have you been?



Apparently she's written a series of books about a love struck couple with some serious issues. Okay, he's a vampire. But it's not a freaky weird creepy series. It's actually very good and very addicting.

I've spent the last 3 days speeding through Twilight (book #1 of the 4 book series) and now am on to New Moon. Ahhh.... So good. So fresh. So unique. Pick them up, you won't be dissapointed.

I cannot wait for the movie. 12/12! ARGH! so far away. And based on the previews it looks awesome and so true to the book. The lead is Cedric Diggory from Harry Potter and Goblet of Fire movie. I had a crush on him then and now my heart is all aflutter!

So i will get the video started on the paper folding soon. And with any luck I won't encounter the same technical difficulties as before.

Read the book y'all! TWILIGHT! It's a little slow at first, but stick with it, you'll be glad you did.



ciao for now!
