Thinking Of Stopping

Just when I think I'm going to stop doing this "blogging thing" I see a blogging prompt that catches my attention and makes me want to share... for a little while longer anyway.

Beginning August 2nd I'll take part in A Daily Dose Of Toni's "30 Days About Me". Sounds sweet. Why not? How about you? Would you like to participate too? Click here to join in (let me know if you do :-> ).

Miss Poodle Perm, That's Me!

Jill of Scary Mommy is doing a linky post about school pictures. You know the ones, possibly you didn't smile a sweet smile, just the smirk of panic. Or you didn't know it was picture day because you had been out sick for a week and you show up in your most comfortable shirt and bed-head. (Yep. That happened to me. The smile was good though!)

I knew exactly where I was going to be on Saturday morning.

Whoo Hoo! There was a giant "Wheel - o - Bargains". I spun and won a $1 off my purchase. Oh man I can't tell you how happy I am when I get money off my purchase. yeah baby. We were one of the first 1000 customer's so my husband and I received free Grocery Outlet - Bargain Market reusable bags! (Rob was so excited. Yes, he can be a dork sometimes too.)
